  • 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.

    Starting Xanax

    Hm. Ok, thank you everyone for your help. I can't seem to discern whether or not it was or was not working. It's probably just best to make another appointment as you've all suggested. I have the opportunity to use the Xanax on Friday and so I want to give it one last shot so that I can have...

    Zoloft question

    Hi Jess I see that your original post was from May 1st, which means you started the 100mg in April. Now that some time has passed, how do you think it has been working? Noticing anything different? If you have seen some positive changes that gives some indication that the medication could work...

    Starting Xanax

    Hello to everyone. I have been away after a busy few weeks so I apologize for not attending to the thread. Thus far, I don't exactly know how to describe my experience with Xanax. At first I had concerns that it was making me groggy the next day. However, I hadn't really felt like one .25mg...

    Starting Xanax

    Hi Old Hat Thanks for replying. I was hopeful that Zoloft would help me but unfortunately it made me too tired to continue using. It also gave me vision issues. So now I'm trying out the Xanax. I think I might ask for something else. I want to give it a few more test runs but so far, it...

    Starting Xanax

    I will have to give that a try. Thanks! I had a therapy session today and was feeling really nervous and took one pill again before the session just to see if it would work and I think it did help a little. But when I go back to class on Monday I am going to give the one and a half pill a...

    Starting Xanax

    Thanks for the prayers. I tried one .25 tab earlier and didn't really feel too much. I will have to try two and see. The cognitive piece is what I'm concerned about. I have to be "on" while I'm in class. So I am wondering what it might do. And if this doesn't work, then what?I'm...

    Starting Xanax

    Hi, hearing you say that it will take the anxiety away gives me some hope. It would help me so much if I could just kill this anxiety. I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. I don't get so anxious to the point where I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. Once in a blue moon I...

    Starting Xanax

    Thanks for your input and for sharing your story. I think the fear of it is what has me concerned. I know that Benzos are strong and this is new for me so I am unsure of what to expect. I didn't buck at it too much though because I figure I have two options: continue to feel anxious and...

    Starting Xanax

    Hello all. I was wondering if anyone had any input about Xanax. I have been having some issues with anxiety. I have been trying to "white knuckle" it and get through it but it's not working. I went and saw my psychiatrist today and he suggested a low dose of Xanax, .25mg. So I went and...

    Starting Zoloft

    Hi Jess! Congrats on taking such a huge step to try medications. I have always been anti-meds until I realized how much a help they can be. I think if you stick with it and don't give up, that you have the potential to really feel better. I on the other hand get frustrated and give up easily. I...

    Scar Treatment

    Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone had used any sort of silicone scar sheet treatment for their scars. Last year I was in a very desperate place and began to burn myself with matches. I have since stopped that behavior but am now left with several ugly scars. They are much more...

    Advice About A Friend?

    Thanks for your reply EazyMack. Yeah I suppose there really isn't any advice that can be offered. Maybe I should have just asked for opinions lol. I guess I just thought for a while there I was starting to feel crazy. She got really defensive about it when I tried to voice my opinion. She...

    Advice About A Friend?

    Paternity was the first thing I questioned. They did in fact have paternity established with a DNA test. I think you put it into perspective: They're all wrong. I too think the refusal is warranted. But as you have said, he is denying his own flesh and blood. I think the two children are...
