• 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.

What should I do?

Ok, well I think that this lady that I work with may be bulemic (sp?). I mean she is real thin (but she is also only 5'0'') and my grandpa (my boss lol) said he noticed she spends alot of time in the bathroom, especially after we eat lunch. Then last week she got sick and had to go to the hospital and the doctor said she had an inflamed esaphagus (sp?) that could be cause from vomiting. So what I want to know is: Should I say something to her? I haven't known her that long, so I don't know if she would get offended if I mentioned it.
Any advice (and prayers) would be greatly appreciated.

I would lovingly speak with her and just tell her you were concerned about her. If you know of any resources for bulimics you could share them with her. If you are also eating disordered, you could confide that to her as well. Let her know she is not alone and that God cares about her as well. If you are not comfortable doing that, you could maybe just give her a card with a little note in it.

It is thoughtful of you to care for her this way.

I'll be praying, and I think that madison's advise was spot on, you cn't bug her about it, but if you show her your concerned and worried, that you care in little ways like that, then she may know that if she needs to talk to someone, you are there for her, and that yuo care!
