• 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.

Not doing so good at the moment am restricting what am eating
how are you ?

Sorry things arent going too well at the minute hun, im not sure what too advise you hun, just as am not in best place but know that am thinking of you hope things get a little easier for you. :hug:

Hi folks.
Thanks Katey.. yeah, I got through half term - couple of bad days, but not too bad:)
How are you doing, sweetie?

AA, I'm sorry it's hard at the moment. You are NOT disgusting, I'm sorry you feel that way. Thinking of you and hoping things get better very soon.
Hey sarah, i'm glad that you managed to get thorugh with it without really bad days :hug: hope you get some 'me time' this week.

AA, I know i said that i wasnt going to give you advice (and this isnt technically advice) but i'm agreeing with sarah, youre NOT disgusting thats the ED side of things talking hun, its hard to not listen to them, i know that but your not its just ED talking x:hug:


HMm me, well where do i start :( things have been a little bit all over, pretty much like a yoyo with a bit inbetween so not really like a yoyo :S sorry. well im going from being hysterical in tears n just really low, to being really really angry and wanting to scream n shout (but cant) then back to being huddled up in corner crying :cry: cant really explain where im at right now so not even going to attemtp it, it really will just be a ramble. im having few issues at minute with Ed (nothing new there then ) struggling without the tube, but dont want it back in either so yeah thats another weird messed up thing in my head, i collapsed yesterday and they put me back on bed rest :( Physically im a bit of a mess. i tried blaggin it with the lack of sleep excuse, which sort of worked because yeah ive not been sleeping at all (hence why put me on bed rest so i can rest) but yeah didnt stop them going of and checking everything, which is really not good because blood tests etc dont seem to like 'helping the hiding things cause' yes im being sarcastic, in other words doesnt matter how much i can pretend to be ok n stuff everything tends to show up when they start doing tests. should learn that by now :( eurgh i did go of a aramble there sorry just ignore me.

Not going to ignore you, I'm afraid, sweetie.
There's nothing wrong with feeling, you are going through a very tough time and you are allowed to respond emotionally.. you're human sweetie, and that's how we work. Thinking of you and praying for you :hug: :hug:

:hug:hows everyone doing today???

Im not doing soo well :( spent most of yesterday in AnE after getting a little frustrated, ive broke my hand in two places and my little finger, those silly walls should really stop jumping out at me!!! :( so now i have a purple cast! Heads just a bit of a mess, really bad thoughts and voices etc, its all just getting too much for me and lack of sleep and exhaustion isnt helping at all. ED wise, well still going without the tube, so i suppose thats a good thing..........right????????? ive been trying to eat things, ok only little things but ive been trying at least. my body however doesnt seem to think i am, and has complicated things again :( im having bloods done every two days, i have to have a scan so they can see whats going on its just not working properly :( why does it have to be so complicated, for once can it just not be!!!!??!!!

It must be hard feeling that people aren't telling you all that's going on, sweetie.. I hope you can convince them that it's better to know than to imagine the worst.
Praying for you very much, sweetie :hug: :hug: :hug:

Yeah, I know masks can get too comfortable, but... it's so hard to be real when you know that it will lead to rejection or anger from others... easier to pretend.

It just really annoying thats all and being passed from one place to another is really realy starting to annoy me!!!!! ggrrrrrr ive just been feeling really depressed past few days and just struggling with everything. my CPN tried telling probation that they needed to go through services rather than speak directly with me about the up coming release. which really isnt helpful at all. hopefully will be getting sorted.

:hug::hug:it is easier to pretend i know that one. thinking of you xx

I haven't been around much, been camping and off line. Wasn't great... there's not much chance for any alone time in a tent, and I need that to process things or I get a bit unbalanced. The kids had a great time tho :)

Anger... yes, been there... started with being angry at other people for not understanding, then moved to anger with God for not sorting it out, and then anger with myself for not being able to cope.
Writing and drawing helped... tho it was more scribbling that drawing, just letting the anger out onto the paper...
And exercise, but I don't suppose you're allowed to do much of that!

Praying for you, sweetie

Hey, hope youve had chance to have some you time since being back, im glad the kids had a good time though hun. Yeah the anger thing, i can normally handle it. Its just at the minute, its weird im struggling so much with it. Ive been trying to write and make some sense of it all in my head, and tried using art therapy when ive been allowed (although ive been on bedrest for a while) hmm yeah excercise, i sort of started doing a bit too much of it, so got into trouble, but yeah it norm,ally is a good thing. i guess its just something ive got to add to my list of things to work on??!!!???!! im just sick of how things keep going at the minute. and the timings really not great!!! but hey!!!!!

Hope your doing ok xxx:hug::hug:
