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.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

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.

hey your best idea is to tell somebody - it's not good if she hasn't eaten for a longtime.

I would just talk to your friend about it, try to help her as much as you can, if you really aren't getting through to her then maybe tell someone but you might be the only one she can talk to and telling someone might destroy that trust

I'm going to risk being flamed and disagree. Because I've been there. When my friends 'told someone', my parents started watching me like a hawk. All that did was make me more secretive about my behaviours, and I got really, really good at hiding the fact that I wasn't eating.
The best thing you can do is talk to your friend. And be there for her. If she isn't ready to recover, nothing will make her...and she most likely will have a hard time trusting you in the future. Her parents or other authority figures may intervene, but if she's serious about not letting go of her ED (if she has one in the first place), she will find covert, secretive ways to get around anyone else's "help." I know that from experience.

I totally agree! My friends told my mom and I freaked, got worse behind my parents back and then it was when I was ready that I got better, my parents took me a counselor, but I didn't care, I was diagnosed, but 5 months later I opted to do it all on my own. My professionals still know that there are some days that I dont feel like getting better, but I still push through.
