• 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.

Praying sweetie. I seem to spend most of my life putting on a 'brave face'. Sometimes it's a good thing to let people see the real you, I thnk. Not that I have the courage... but ...
Hang in there, sweetie. :hug:

I'm not great.. fallen back into bad habits from years ago, and can't seem to find a way out. But.. I know God hasn't given up on me :) And He hasn't given up on any of you, either. :hug: :hug:

Do you ever feel you should be doing something because its the 'right thing' yet you dont do it!!!! The crisis team have suggested i go into hospital for a few days, but i dont want to go i want to stay out, yet part of me knows that probably should be there right now before things get worse. :confused::doh: I dont know what to do.

i went with a bit of a compromise tonight though, i agreed to have some 'extra meds' and to the psych doc first thing in morning, and to try stay safe and ring them if i need to during the night. they wanted me to 'promise' at first and i cant i dont make promises unless certain can keep them, so i just said i'd try too. I had the extra meds, sleepers and slight sedatives to help my head calm down a bit.........that was at ten thirty and its now one fifteen and guess what, im still wide awake ! i hate it!!! my head calmed a little while but its just going mad now 'voices' 'thoughts' flashbacks, i'm thinking someone pressed the go mad button and im really realy struggling with it :'(


Sorry rambling a bit tonight.



Hows everyone else doing?? hope everyone had a good Easter :hug:

Lately, well, I've just been so angry. I just want to feel some kind of pain, destruction, anything. It makes me so mad at myself for two reasons: I can't seem to hurt enough and because I would ever dream of just hurting. I want to purge up everything I eat, probably because, well, since I got sick in January I haven't been the same.

I do it unintentionally, a coughing fit leads to gagging, and next thing I know, well, I'm hugging the toilet.

I feel...disgusting. I want to be positive, loving, and healthy. I'm just, so frustrated and I know it seems this thread has slowed down quite a bit, but I just need to vent about it. I don't have anywhere else to go.

I am sorry you are feeling so bad.
Do you know what triggered this anger? Sometimes finding the root can help to solve the problem.
Have you seen a doctor about this? If it is happening when you cough, perhaps there's a physical cause.

If you need someone to talk to, PM me any time.
And remember, however you feel, God's love for you hasn't changed. You are beautiful and precious in His sight. Try to hold on to that in the difficult times. :hug:
Praying for you.

Thanks ladies!

Criada -- I struggled with bulimia for about 8 months straight and then quite cold turkey for almost four months. In January of this year I got very sick with the flu and had a constant cough which triggered my greatly abused gag reflexes and I started throwing up. There was not and is not any particular way to stop this from happening except that my cough goes away as my vocal cords and lungs and throat heal (which is difficult if you know anything about the weather in southwestern indiana this year so far) which hasn't been easy. Not to mention, we do not have any kind of health insurance, which puts us in a bind.

Lately it feels as though my anger, well, it simply stems from just wanting something different and not being able to attain it. I'm so mad at how irresponsible I've been (w/ thinks like being bulimic also) that I feel like I could resort to doing that same things that makes me angry. It's so darn aggravating because it's the worst when you see the cycle, you understand it, you know how to change it, but you just simply can't -- which makes me even more angry, lol.
