• 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

:confused:

I have been a member for so long and havent written.. But i need to today. I feel this overwhelming anxiety i have tried to get control of it but cant.. I am an emotional eater who has had boughts of bulimia and compulsive eating and restriction.. It started over 5 years ago and i have prayed and tried to get over it but the cycles continue. I am now 60 lbs overweight and cant get out of this cycle.. I feel i cant eat normal.. I either starve or binge or when i decided i will eat healthy i say im going on a fast first to detox ... Over and over ??? I know this has to do with seeing family over the holidays and yet again being this big :-(

God Help me gain self control. and Self discipline.. Sorry for venting .. I can use prayer.. THanks:bow:

I know i am fearfully wonderfully made.. I know i can do ALL things through Christ and i know i need to walk in spirit not flesh.. Yet this hindrance has me bound... I want to be freee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
