• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am very worried too. I never do well with lots of food. I am going to pray to God a lot the night before and hope somehow I will be ok.
Wish you the best and remember.....the whole point of thanksgiving is to be thankful for everything you and your family and everything. Hope you have a good and fun thanksgiving.
Take care.

Just eat what you can, sweetie. You don't have to stuff yourself, but you should try and eat something. :hug: I understand how overwhelming it can be though. :hug:

I was worried but now I'm not so much, because it'll just be me and my parents and we're not really having a huge meal. I wish you both could come join me!!

:hug:s

Thanks big sis. *:hug:s back*. I'm going to try and eat, but like I told you over MSN earlier, I'm not the best. I don't want to think things are as bad as everyone is saying tho.

I hope tomorrow goes ok for you sis, you'll be in my prayers. :hug:

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Bethany

:hug: How'd it go for you both?? :hug:

Bethany, I apologise if the comment I left in your blog sounded a little harsh. :o I just want you to know that ... well, that I'm worried about you. Things are worse than you think they are. They were worse for me than I thought they were too, and it didn't help me that my parents were treating it really lightly. So I totally understand ... I hope you don't think that I don't get where you are right now. 'Cause I so do. :hug: I love you, lil sis. And I want the best for you.

I got really stressed before the meal ... really bad ... and that was really frustrating ... but I got through it okay. It's not good though, 'cause I've gone today barely making my meal plan. I just feel too big to eat much. I hate how Thanksgiving has become all about the food. I hate it. It's a day to give thanks. Not to gorge yourself on food. Argh.

Hehe oops :sorry: That was a little rant.

Hope you are doing okay this evening!!

yeah, I got through today ok. Was a little rough it spots, but I made it. And don't worry about the comment, I would rather you were honest with me sis. So really, I appreciate it more than you know. I'm sorry I have you so worried. I don't want to worry anyone.

I'm sorry you day was rough too. I agree with you tho, Thanksgiving has become to much about food. *hugs* I love you sis.

Yey, you made it! :hug: I'm glad. :hug:

I'll try to make the comments shorter from now on, lol. I should've put that one in an email, I didn't realise that it was going to be about as long as your entire entry!! :p

I think we should abolish Turkey Day and make it instead a Day of Thanks. No more Thanksgiving. But a Day of Thanks. Same day. But no big meal. Just coffee and cappucino and hot cider and a bit of food here and there, sandwiches or something, so it's not like an ED holiday :p. How's that sound? :p
