  • 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.

    where do you go :(

    Most of my friends do not understand anything about what I am going through. I usually see a psychologist or a church has a counsellor. It all depends on what you are going through. Why are you hurting?

    Afraid of going to church

    I have avoided going to church for over a year for the same reasons. Bullying and other forms of bad behaviour is a big problem in churches that is almost not talked about and even denied. Those who do admit that it is there say to forgive those who wronged you, which is not enaugh for such a...

    Struggle

    See a psychiatrist or a psychotherapist imidietly, I would say. Anxiety disorders do come in the form of such strange intruding thoughts, but can be treated by a therapist. The therapist I think will ask you questions about your past and tell you how that could have led to those fears, give you...

    Need advice about weaning off of Klonopin for Panic Disorder (possible trigger):

    Unfortunately I cannot tell you that. I also go to those cheap clinics. Did you try going to the doctor and asking your question personally? Maybe those side effects have something to do with why they are not to be prescribed anymore. It seems like they cause people to be dependant on them.

    Medication?

    Oh, sorry for not answering your question. An update would be a good idea. I think I will need to increase the dose to a whole pill. The pills worked so well that I had never been able to function so well since I was ten and I almost had no fears, before the last few weeks. How about you?
