  • 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

Oh, boy.

I called my doctor yesterday and asked if anything could be done about my medication that I have to take. It has driven me crazy for too long and I want it to stop! It makes me lazy, grouchy, and greedy. That is, I want food all the time and only certain types! ARG! I also am hard to live with. I get on my mother's nerves all the time.

Well, the nurse listened to me and passed on the message to the doctor. So, the good news is: I am going on a smaller dose. WHEW!:)

But the bad news is: The nurse who listened to me is required to make me see a shrink if she feels I have serious mood issues. But my mood issues are only due to our poverty, combined with a summer of hard work instead of fun.

So, please pray that I can explain to them that I am not in danger or anything. I am only stressed by my pill.
My family knows me better than the nurse and they agree that I am not crazy or unstable.
We can not afford a shrink and I really don't want to see one. :eek:

They are just trying to avoid lawsuits. If they think I am in danger, they will try very hard to make me see a shrink.

UPDATE

I am on a new medication now. I feel better, but it has a problem and I wish it didn't. (I can't spell it out, it is much too personal.)

I wrote a 3 page letter to the doctor and nurse explaining how I felt and that I didn't think I needed to see a shrink.

My prayer request is: pray that this unpleasant problem would resolve.

Thank you all for praying. The problem has gotten better. I was worried that I would never adjust to the new medication. But I have.

Glad to hear it, Mindalan!

(you look so cute as a mermaid!)
