  • 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

    Two Years Later, and it's Been A Rollercoaster...

    My strategies are somewhat helpful but sometimes might not work. Plus one of the things my counselor told me to do was not give in to the compulsions, but that in itself is strenuous. On top of that I have so many things going on that it stresses me out.

    Two Years Later, and it's Been A Rollercoaster...

    Sorry, I have been gone for so long I have had so many things to do such as working and schooling. So many “more-adult” responsibilities I’m figuring out. But yes, it is the same theme as it always has.

    Two Years Later, and it's Been A Rollercoaster...

    I joined around 2 or 3 years ago, I was 14; (which is against the rules, I was naive), however everyone on this forum had helped me so much! Everyone helped lead me the right way. I was diagnosed with OCD by my doctor and went to therapy. Everything went smoothly, until this year. I had...

    I want a therapist but can’t get one!

    So just talked to my pastor about this. And let me tell you that this helped a lot, he gave me many ways to cope with my anxiety and overall give me hope about this.

    I want a therapist but can’t get one!

    One of the things I think I fear is, how this anxiety isn't going away. I feel like after a year this should be gone. Any thoughts?

    I could try there. Would they give me healthy tips on recovering an OCD? Will they know if what I’m going through is OCD?

    I want a therapist but can’t get one!

    I have tried that, but so many things have happened to me like sleep problems and panic attacks and way more that have scarred me and I have an anxiety condition now through this. Or like OCD where I get an intrusive thought, or I get and urge to do stupid things.

    I want a therapist but can’t get one!

    I can’t get a professional, my Dad won’t let me... I told my Dad about the problem and all he did was judge me.

    I want a therapist but can’t get one!

    I went to my Dad and talked about how I need some professional help... ANYBODY! He then lectured me... told me I’m lazy and don’t spend any time with God. I have been though... everyday... he doesn’t know my pain. We came to an agreement and said that I could talk to my pastor. I don’t know...
