  • 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

    Depression and anxiety, hopelessness

    Main things I noticed with Effexor were vivid dreams (REM sleep disorder), severe physical symptoms if I forgot a dose (H/A, cold sweats, dizziness...) and lack of sex drive. I was worried about my memory also, but that doesn't seem to have improved since going off the meds, so who knows. I...

    Depression and anxiety, hopelessness

    I'm new here, I had to try to find someone to talk to about my troubles. I've been suffering with depression and generalized anxiety for about 20 years. I've been on several medications, some that worked some, some worked a little better but had side effects I didn't like. I'd been doing well...
