• 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.

Oh sweetie, I'm sorry things are still so hard. I know it's tiring, but don't give up, k? You will get there in the end.

I'm surviving, still not sure who I am most of the time, and losing half my life.. but, I'll get through. :)
Hope you are back with us soon, Katey. xxx

It's good you got to that point... and the tube was probably necessary, sweetie, they don't do that unless they really have to. I know it's horrible though, and losing control sucks.
But, try to remember that feeling of wanting to fight, because you need to, sweetie. You may be 'ok'... but you deserve so much more than ok!!
I am praying that you'll find some way of getting through and out of the pit very soon, sweetie. Don't give up, k? And don't settle for 'ok' - aim for happy, please?

I know it's hard, but sometimes part of getting back control of your life involves laying certain things in other people's hands. You can't take care of yourself on your own, you need the support of others. It's one of the most difficult parts of struggling with ED's or any kind of disordered eating is that you can't just do it all yourself, otherwise you, and I, and everyone else wouldn't be in these positions we find ourselves in.
:hug: Like Criada said, you may be okay, but you deserve more than just being okay.


My eating is "normal" now. I just have to keep this new lifestyle one day at a time.
Good luck! You can definitely do it!

I binged and purged last night for the first time in about a year. I only do this a few time for some years now but I used to do it every day. I wonder if I will get into this again more heavily. I hope not but I am so concerned about my wieght right now and getting arthritis from it. Please say a prayer for me. Thank you.

I've used a eating journal but forgot how to do it. I have also done thought changing for my reasons to do it. My reasons for doing it now have changed though and they seem logical. I know how bad it can be, been there. I think all that can help me now is prayer. I can't talk to a therapist about it but I should. I just can't.

Praying for you, sweetie.
There is an eating journal format here, don't know whether it's similar to yours, but it might help...
I know it's hard to talk to a therapist sometimes, but..it does help. If you can't talk, perhaps you could write it down and give it/send it to them?

Thank you Criada. I will look at the journal. On second thought I may talk about my problem to my social worker. I have had some new bad things happen recently and I probably need to talk about them. I just have a hard time talking about my eating. I don't know why but I need to change that. God bless you!
