This is personal, I’m sorry mods. But I don’t know where else to turn.
I’m dealing with a lot of health issues at the moment. I’ve developed an eating disorder that I can’t seem to overcome on my own. It’s getting very bad. In specific, it’s ARFID, and a fear of any food I eat causing anaphylaxis.
This was likely brought on because I’ve entered perimenopause and my hormones have gone insane. And my stress has been high since last November because of family health issues (nonvaxxed). Constantly an anxious wreck.
So now I’m at a point where I need intervention. But that’s going to be medicine and I know it. I do not trust hormone pills - when I was on birth control it made me very suicidal. And I don’t trust anxiety medicine either, because…duh lol. Also don’t trust supplements and can’t afford the more trustworthy ones. I need vitamin C.
Frankly I don’t trust doctors, either. Especially with this bullshit second round of Covid.
Im also broke. Can’t afford any kind of treatment except if I were to be sent to the ER and be billed, then I just wouldn’t be able to pay it. I lost Medicaid last month because our Covid mandates ended.
What would you do?
I pray to God constantly about this but it just keeps getting worse.
Serious question? Is it possible God is trying to get your attention about something? Have you tried hands on healing at church? Get on some prayer circle lists.
Contact Floridasharkman.org (medical). He’ll reply and talk to you.
Email Praying Medic and Amanda Grace for personal help and healing prayer. I’ve seen that work.
Hopefully, one of GAW’s natural medicine experts will chime in.
Prayers up for you.
I’ve considered this from all kinds of angles but I can’t think of what it would be. Maybe it’s because I never remember to give thanks for my food at meal times?
I’ve tried looking into local churches that may offer some counseling or help low cost or free but can’t find anything. When I’ve reached out in the past over other issues, they didn’t seem very welcoming or friendly.
Thank you so much for the suggestions! I’ll try reaching out to these people. It would be life changing if someone could help.
And thank you very much for the prayers, too.
I could not get by without my local food bank. They have ground beef every week. I say prayers of thanks constantly.
Op, I’ve been thru some rough stuff. This is what worked for me.
Every time I was in a bad place, God was trying to get me to move. Move something, change something, step out of my un-comfort or painful zone. Try something, volunteer, take some chances, spend more time in prayer and like others have said…must exercise. Get some Christian counseling. Join a group at church. Help someone else.
The worse things were for me, the bigger God showed up. It was exhausting and painful…but also glorious.
Keep us posted. It’s great to see answered prayers.
