• 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.

would love to be of help

 :help: Hello!  I'm new here, but thought I'd post a message to offer help in the area of eating diosrders.  If there are family/friends of ED folks out there who just don't get it, I'd be glad to answer questions. I've been anorexic/bulimic and a compulsive eater, but have been starve/purge free for nearly 7 years.  I understand being in the middle, and the struggles of recovery.  If my experiences can help anyone, I'd be glad to be a source of support/information.  This is an area where God has taught me so much, and I hope to serve Him in this way.   Thanks! :wave:

That'd be great!  I've worked with teenagers (psych hospital and alcohol/drug rehab) as well as been a camp counselor, so anything I can do to help with the teens would be awesome!  (I'm a 39 year old nurse, as well as ED recovery).  Also, if the parents have questions, I"m here!  I've written to parents on other message boards, and tried to give some perspective to a disorder that is really hard for non-EDs to understand.  Also, believe that God is the key to my recovery, and can share some reasons for treating what He has given us with respect!  Gotta share what He's done!!! :bow: Helping others makes the 'all things work together for good' a reality!!!!
