  • 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.

I just want to know how to make it stop.
I have had to fight anxiety.... one thing that helped was to quote a scripture in the book of Timothy.. 2timothy 1:7, God is not the author of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind..... basically reinforcing the fact anxiety is not of the Lord

Yes, think on something that will ease your anxiety...maybe some scripture or a song.

Yes...I know that one well. :) I can't count how many times I've whispered it into the darkness, how many times those words have been the only thing holding me down.

Anxiety/Depression....I hate it.

Maybe it's because your mind is too active...also, you have a great imagination which sometimes tends to make things seem worse than they are.
That's the truth! I've been dealing with that ever since I was little :p

:p I'm guessing maybe Evanescence isn't exactly the best choice?
when you are feeling moody..... change your music to something more uplifting, I listen to upbeat christian music when I am depressed or anxious and it helps center my thoughts away from drifting to dark thoughts.

I've been dealing with terrible anxiety over the past several months. Some days it has felt like I was going to explode.

The only thing that helped for me was to pray persistently that the Lord would change my heart, and focus on Him. I needed to pull Him back under me as my foundation; I was on sinking sand.
