• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

That’s what I do! I like to enjoy the lights and decorations without the hubbub.
If it was up to me, I would hoard the house with Christmas decorations, but I don't have the time or energy for that! ;)

Praying you are feeling better. I think Fide is on to something I've been feeling more anxiety the last couple of years and I have no particular reason that should be so. Prayer, Bible study, devotions help me. I can relate, I have sleep issues, too.

Does your doctor give you anything for it Riley?
I have taken medications for more than half my life. I do not like taking sleep medication because it's been ineffective.

Long story short, my CPAP and good sleep hygiene is the best thing for me.

I hate it when that happens
I'm still working full time too...I hope I cannot be discriminated against because of my medical conditions (anxiety disorder, severe sleep apnea etc). I will explain to HR if that happens.

God bless you.
My doctor wants a sleep study done which hopefully I can do at home. I have a co-worker with sleep apnea and he told me his doctor said as long as he uses The CPAP 4 hours a night. He wasn't using his CPAP,but 4 hours would be sufficient.

My anxiety continues to worsen. Your prayers are appreciated.
I’m sorry to hear that. I just started reading the book Unworried: A Life Without Anxiety by Gregory Popcak. It might be helpful.

It’s a Catholic based psychology book.

My anxiety continues to worsen. Your prayers are appreciated.
FYI:
I'm listening to an online Catholic conference this weekend, and a priest gave a talk about anxiety.

He offered this tip:
He said to imagine Jesus being there with you when you're feeling anxious.


(I'm going to try to remember to do that, the next time anxiety strikes!)
