• 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.

No, no, no becoming invisible. Maybe to the outside world, but not to us. :hug::hug: We care about you, love. Hang in there.

* Soulwings sends Arnold over to snuggle with Bec and make her feel better with his pandalicious hugs, and then settles down by the fire to write some poems for a little while before it's time to get busy with the day.

:sigh:

I understand, love. I've wanted to be invisible too... in fact, have felt invisible... and it's not really a pleasant feeling. Why do you want to be invisible?? :hug::hug::hug:

Can I get you anything to drink??

...

Two thousand nine is almost here!! :swoon: I can't really believe it... it's ridiculous!! This year went by wayy too fast. Any highlights from it, anyone? good, bad, funny?

...

:hug:s for all.

Ooh hullo, Katey. :hug:

Thanks for tidying up!! It was getting to be a bit of a mess. Is there chai around? I'm hankering after a mug of peppermint chai, actually... or hot chocolate. :yum:

* Arnold thanks Katey for the treats by giving her a pandalicious squishy hug. :yum:

Happy New Year's... I hope that oh nine will be better than oh eight was... not much hope for that, though. Grrrr.

* Soulwings snuggles up by the fire with a fleece blanket and dozes off. :yawn:

April, ill get you a mug of Peppermint Chai right away there plenty on the go.
:hug::hug: know what your mean about not much hope. i dont get what all the whoha is about new year nothing much changes, like i said, other than the date!!!

Hope your all doing ok, ive found a new room in amonst all the mess that was piled over by the cool area, its a stress relief zone.( sounds random i kno but bare with me) you can use it whever you feel the need to destress or anything, its completly safe (and sound proof if u feel the need to scream and shout!) there foam walls with bean bags and soft toys to chuck around and pillows to scream into. could do with one of them in in reality, but hey heres just as good. hope you all like it, it can be whatever you need it to be x

hun in here everyones welcome you done have to be invisible, no matter what you think. its not true. remember we dont see what other people see, but we also struggle to listen to other people telling us good things, or the things that they see.

dont bang your head, honestly hun it wont help it just gives you a really really bad headache.


anyone like a drink??

Bec, love, you may indeed disgust yourself - but that by no means means that you disgust others. I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of people out there who think you are beautiful. I know that you are beautiful, because I know the "inside" Bec... you're kind, gentle, caring, loving, and encouraging/supportive. :hug: I hope and pray that someday you will be able to see the true you... the God-created you... not the twisted and warped view that your ED has given you. :hug:

And Katey is right, banging your head will do nothing except give you an awful headache. And I'm not sure if I've got any Tylenol in my purse... maybe there's some in the kitchen cupboards?

...

Katey, I think the stress relief zone is a good idea. I might just be using that in a bit, if things keep going the way they are. Yey someplace to scream that is soundproof!! ^_^

Thanks for the peppermint chai, it was tasty!! :yum: Yesterday actually I went to a coffeeshop in town with my sister and I had a chai latte... not peppermint, though, although they do offer than as an option. :yum: It was really good. Right now I'm drinking Irish Creme coffee, so I think I'm set - but do you want anything to drink??

...

Today should be an okay day. Jarrod and I may be doing something together, since he's not working... but I don't know what. He may take me somewhere but I don't know where; he says he wants to keep it a surprise. At least, that's what he said last night. Not sure if it holds true for today or not. I hope so!! hehe. 'Cause that would be exciting.

I can't believe that it's a new year... but yeh Katey, you're right, I don't understand somewhat just why so much is made about the year changing... but oh well. I guess a new year is a time to start fresh or something... I don't know. I'm going to try to make this a better year than last year was. Hopefully it won't be that hard... :sigh:

* Soulwings snuggles up with her coffee and a book by the fire and reads for awhile, til breakfast - pancakes!!

* Arnold wants to snuggle with someone, but he's too sleepy to move... he ate a lot of those treats... :( ...but they were oh so good!!! :yum:

Bec :hug: You're weak and cold cos you can't remember the last time you ate, sweetie. :hug: You should know the pattern by now. :hug: Try and eat something, even if it's small. You're risking gaining weight if you don't eat... if you do eat you'll be fine.

* Soulwings fixes herself a chai latte and Bec a mug of hot raspberry tea, and sends Arnold over to snuggle with Bec and keep her warm til she eats something.

ive havent felt this bad before from not eating... so i didnt even think about it... but i actually have the flu... so that is also not helping...
everytime my mum has seen me in the last month she cant believe how much more weight i have lost... i cant see it though... i jsut cant see it... my clothes still feel the same size... i cant see my bones anymore than i could before... i still feel gross...
but i have eaten a little so dont worry... im eating...

my mum is also saying that i have to have at least two weeks off work before i go back to college because of how sick ive been and apparently i look worn out... but because i have just bought my first car and im still paying it off, i cant affor two weeks off. because i cant go back to college with an empty bank account... especially when i cant work for the frist two weeks because of preparation and orientation week in which i am heavily involved in...

I'll be praying, Bec. I don't have many words to say right now about much of anything. :hug::prayer::hug:

...

My best friend and I made chocolate chip muffins yesterday, and took a load of photos of us just being goofy. Who said that people our age have to be grown up? Haha......
