• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi
:hug: everyone
April - It was very brave of you to tell them ...and I think honesty is probably the best policy..but i'm sorry you have to deal with them being so intrusive.. I guess they ask because they're scared :-( but it's horrible.

How are you Kerin, Sabrina, Bec, Allie?

Things aren't going great ..i'm so exhausted and worried about everything. I should be working but can't really concentrate.

Ari! I hope things start to slow down for you. Can they get anyone in to help you? Doesn't make sense to have you so overloaded and stressed.

Katey - If they need to visit you so much and call you so much, sounds like you need to be admitted somewhere. I hope for your sake that someone has some availability for you soon so you get the care you need! :hug: :prayer:

Aw Bec, fainting is never good. Please take better care; eat when you can and get some extra rest. You're just not going to be able to keep this up. :hug:

I feel like a blob this morning - I hate that! :(

I feel overwhelmed Ari.....fat, miserable and like a failure since I choose to eat today...I KNOW I should eat...but I feel like it is starting to get to be too much everyday...I tell myself that I need to be thinner than I am now...that five more # and Ill be happy....just five more # and I will stop obsessing, but it wont be true. I wish I could stop this mania in my head, but it wont go away......it wont!!! Its so loud......I dont know what I am gonna do, Im so tired of this eating disorder.....I want help.....but I dont know how I will get it being the way I am....I just dont feel sick yet....
Hows everyone else?, I send my prayers to you all....

hey, thanks Kerin, yeah i had a good think about it today and i agreed (after much much persuasion) that it may just be the right or rather safest place for me to be right now. but typically the one time i'm agreeing to go in theres no beds anywhere in this area the other option, if theres still no beds by tomorrow afternoon at the psych units, is the private hospital not far from here they will admit me until a bed becomes available. they were going to admit me onto the ED unit however they said right now the priority is my low mood and thoughts that i'm having once theyve settled them down (hopefully ne way) then theyl transer me to the ED hospital.

i'm still really really unsure about it all but i saw a good freind today and she was really really upset. she sat and creied and told me how scared her and a few other friends are. they can see what i'm doing to myself but cant help me and its really hurting them. i felt soo bad. :(

i need to get help, ok yeah right now its not for me its for them. but if i try then i might want it, right?????

please it is the right thing todo isnt it? but why dont i want it for me? i'm once again doing it to please soemone else because as per usual i'm hurting them.:sigh:

i hate all this stuff so much :cry:

Katey, doing this for other people is a noble idea and it may get you started in the healing process, but when it comes right down to it, it has to be for you. :hug: I'll be praying that some place has an opening for you real soon; and it's great that you're able to see that you need this help! :prayer:
