• 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.

i ate today... mainly because me body is handling the alcohol i had last night very well... im sooo unbeliefvably shaking... so i had something to eat and i havent purged yet...
my friend had a chat to me last ngiht... apparently i am being stupid, an idiot, inconsiderate, selfish and attention seeking... so i have to make sure i dont leave a room full of ppl to go to the toilet because that is attention seeking...
and i have to go to the doctor... im meant to tell her eveything... but i think i will just say i have beeen having trouble losing weight so have been restricting abit... wat should i do to lose weight? kind of thing... etc etc...

actually i had better go and make that appt... and get studying for the exam i have tomorow...

*HUGS and prayers for everyone*

Bec, this ED is about YOU and you absolutely have to put yourself first in this because it's a life or death situation. I'm really sorry your friend is treating you like this, but that's done out of ignorance of this disease. It's a pretty typical reaction because unless you've been through it, you just cannot fully understand it. I heard the attention seeking garbage, too and it's really the furthest thing from the truth. Please put that behind you and look out for yourself in this, you cannot get better by trying to please your friend or anyone else! :hug:

aaarrgghhaarrgghh, its all a big messs. i knew i wouldnt cope with it i knew things would just not go right they never do!!!!! sorry bit of a stressy moany moment there. things arent exactly going to plan right now. #nd week at uni, its hard. ok uni itself is going ok slightly boring with soo much information but yeah made few new friends can cope with the work stuff. its just everything else getting in the way and bringing me down my face is hurting from me mask being on there constantly!!!!!!!!!! si many people keep telling me i cnt do it, making out am not going to cope with it n stuff its not the right time etc.!!!! its doing my head in, i saw occupational health yesterday theyr very anxious about it, but seen as i have started the course he cant exactly stop me he just has to make sure i'm going to be supported he was glad i was honest. hes going to be writing to my community team (eeek:eek: ) to find out hw things are going, updates n stuff. my CPn rang me today (returning a phone call) she was letting me know that shes now going to be staying for a more of a long term thing wich is really good coz shes really nice, but i broke down on the phone to her i was just stressed n she caught me at the wrong time. she now wantsme to go and see her tomorrow after uni!!!!!!!! and i'm dreading it all. everyones having a go at me about my eating (or major lack of at the min) the amount of excercise i'm doing and the fact i'm not sleeping!!! how am i ment to help the fact i cant sleep. i've tried absolutly evrything. sorry bit of a rant there, am just sick of people having a go and being positive, i'm trying to do summit with myself after being told to be positive, and to go for it i cant win because now i'm doing that everyones saying the opposite thing, that doesnt help wen my heads messed up as it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sigh:

anyway sorry that rant turned into an essay i think.

hope everyones doing ok Bec:hug: hun hope you did make it to the docs you really need to see them hun even just for a chat.

hey guys...
just wanted to say hi, let you know I am praying for you all...
hmmm... something Bec said kinda annoys me cause it's so true... just that uni isn't easy when your brain doesn't have the nutrients it needs to function... sadly that's not just true for uni, but life in general, and all areas of life...
sometimes I hate truth, but thanks for the reminder bec!

hugs to all...
:hug:

*hugs Katey* Im so sorry what your going through...and I know your sick of people saying stay positive...but thats the only thing that will help if you truly try and do it...stay positive...negative thoughts lead to negative actions like SI...in uni when stress comes find someone to talk to, get yourself moving to not thinnk about such bad things.....
