• 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

Hi, my name is Linda and i need prayer. I have always struggled with weight and i lost <staff edit> pounds. Still have <staff edit> pounds to loose to be in my goal weight. But i am very scared of eating, i weigh myself everyday, today i felt so scared and lost because i don't want this problem to ruin my marrige or life.
I don't know if this is anorexia or bulemia, i don't throw up, i am just afraid of eating. I am new to this. I need prayer, i need God to help me and deliver me.
Thanks so much. :crossrc:

You have people praying for you here, and that is wonderful.
But, you sound as though you could do to see a doctor as well, sweetie, you need to get help before this goes any further - eating disorders are too serious to ignore.

God gave us doctors and medical knowledge, please take advantage of that as well as of prayer :hug:

Please seek professional help. The people who have overcome eating disorders, or at least managed them, without professional help are few and far between. It's pretty much guaranteed that an eating disorder will take control of your life and put enormous strain on your marriage. If this all came on recently, you need to fight this before it progresses any further.
