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.

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.

Sweetie, you are human and deep down inside you are hurting and you can't communicate it any other way. Get to your doctor and get a referral for treatment. There are girls your age in my treatment group. In treatment we get to the root of our inner pain that is causing us to use food in weird and unhealthy ways. We also learn to love our bodies and nurture them with healthy eating habits.

aww. your eating disorder is no indication of your love for God or your capacity to serve him.
A girl I admire very much for her faith and service to Christ struggles with disordered eating as well.

Your eating has nothing to do with you being a christian or not. I know that is hard to believe. Look at Romans 8:37-39 when you get a chance

God is so important in our lives, but he can't save us from everything. Sometimes we have to battle things ourselves - even though they can be horrible. An Eating Disorder is horrible, but you must know that God is there with you. I read somewhere "Where is God in Bulemia? He is holding back your hair"...
Are you getting help? You may need to start talking to someone if you are not already. Remember, God loves you and He wants you to be healthy.
Unfortunately, loving God does not make you immune to Eating Disorders

Your eating disorder is something that God can help you resolve.

Simply fantastical!
because satan wants to take you away from your Heavenly Father. i didn't realize it at the time i went through my ED, but its true...these struggles make us feel farther away from our God and Savior.
please, don't give up. if anything, satan sees you as a threat if he's trying so hard to take you down. keep praying and talking to God. trust me, I've been there just last year...and His healing is so amazing it sounds unbelievable!
