  • 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.

    Are You High, Low or Level? (4)

    Falling. I can feel myself falling lower. I think I'll be alright though. I just need more energy right now.

    Are You High, Low or Level? (4)

    I'm really up again today. I thank God for my mania yesterday. If it weren't for it, I doubt I would have made the right choice and decided to change my life for the better in the face of adversity. I am so thankful for my decision and much happier than I ever thought I would be. Hugs to...

    Gerry, I'm so sorry you're struggling. I'm praying for you. I'm so up right now. Definately high. The people were so rude in church this morning but their words didn't phase me. I'm so up and bubbly and happy. I haven't felt like this for a while so this is great!!! (Don't worry, I'm safe guys...

    Thanks. I've listened to Evanescence for a while and recently got a lot of Nigthwish stuff. Evanescence might have been an influence a little but not Nightwish directly. Then again, I have done things and later found songs that seem similar to them.

    I'll post it here though it's old (April 11, 2007) It's short. I wrote it on a school bus, all alone, fighting back tears. I still remember it. I had the music in my head all this time until last month. I sing, know a little piano but not enough to help me out much. Besides that I know a little...

    Are You High, Low or Level? (4)

    I'm sorry to hear that this holiday was rough. Hopefully the next one will be better. To answer your question: December as a month is the hardest month for me every year. There's so much negative associated with it for me that I'm scared. My family is decent, anxious and a little tense but it...

    Very beautiful April. It reminds me of one of my own that I recently turned into a song. I've felt those feelings before and you captured it so realistically. Great piece. :hug:

    Are You High, Low or Level? (4)

    Level. I had a panic attack last night that knocked away the mania but I'm not depressed. I feel a little better, just tired and blah.

    Evil parts

    You're welcome. It's kinda funny. When I was typing to you the first time I was in the middle of a panic attack and all alone. It'd been a long one, about an hour, but after I finished typing to you, it kinda faded away. I think the advice I gave was also for myself. If that makes any sense. ^_^...

    Evil parts

    I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling. My boyfriend has DID. He didn't tell anyone for a long time. I discovered it by accident and for a good while was the only one who knew his secret. He later told some trusted friends though. Do you have someone you can trust that knows about this and you...

    How do you enjoy life?

    Overall I don't enjoy life. I feel like I'm stuck in a cage created by the expectations of my family, society, my peers, etc. Every time I tell someone this, they tell me shallowly to get over it, because my life is so wonderful. That just makes things more frustrating because I want to tell...

    Ok...this is my first time posting some of my more natural writing here and my first time posting anything I do in this part of the forums. I'm a little nervous. I have a poem from a little while ago (Nov 14). It's about the depression part of bipolar disorder. I'm sure all of you remember that...

    April....I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Hang in there. :hug: Gerry, I'm sorry to hear things have been wacky lately. I hope you're ok. As for me, I'm super hyper. I feel like I could fly (not literally). I'm so excited and happy. I know not to be irrational when I'm like this so...
