  • 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

    Would Appreciate Prayers - I Saw My Dad Tonight

    Howdy All, I just wanted to ask for prayer. I just saw my dad for the first time in 3 years and it was a total accident. Due to manipulation, abuse, and significant history, we (meaning I with my dw's blessing) decided to cut off all contact with him and not allow him to see dd at all...

    I Got a Psychologist!!!

    I saw my new psychologist for the first time today. It was a basic introductory visit, so we didn't go too in depth. He agreed that most of what I need is to learn some new coping skills. The only problem that I had with him was a statement regarding my attractions to other guys (yes...

    I've Been Binging...

    I've been binging on food for 2 days. Yesterday, about an hour before church, I started having anxiety. I made it to church and lasted the whole time, but since then, I've been eating like there's no tomorrow. I'm not hungry, just eating to help curb the anxiety, which it's not really doing...

    Some Good News

    Howdy All, I thought I would share some good news. Since I couldn't get into see a psychiatrist until September, I finally decided that I needed to do something. I called the psychiatrist's office yesterday and found out that they also have a number of psychologists on staff. I was able...

    Are Your Concerns Ever Blown Off B/C of BPD?

    Howdy All, Just a question/vent and I didn't know where else to go with this. My wife and I had a fight tonight. It was a situation where she did something wrong, and when I voiced my problem with it, I got dismissed. Her attitude is one where she believes that because I've got Borderline...

    Positive Actions!

    I too am a "runner". I use a run/walk method and it really helps me out. Yesterday morning, I was in a pretty lousy mood. I went out and did 5 miles and felt better for the rest of the day. My wife & daughter are going out of town this weekend (they just left 20 minutes ago). I'm planning...

    Prioritizing Behavior Changes

    Howdy All! I'm looking at a bunch of different behaviors that are caused/influenced by my Borderline. I realize that the Borderline says, "Try to fix them all NOW." But I also realize that this is not really healthy or doable. So, I thought I'd throw out this question, how do you figure...

    Introduction & Ministry Help - Long

    I just wanted to say thanks for the input. I'm praying about the responses and trying to figure out where to go from here. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist, but I can't get in until September. I also started an anti-depressant this week. It's making me a bit tired, but hopefully...

    Introduction & Ministry Help - Long

    Howdy All! I'm a stay-at-home/homeschooling dad who was diagnosed with BPD about 9 years ago. I've really, really struggled with it and quite frankly, I've been losing. I spent 5 years in therapy, but have been out of therapy for about 4 years now. I've actually got 8 out of the 9 symptoms...
