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.
Prayer request...

Yes. A panic attack is like a massive anxiety attack. Amplified about 1000 times.Greeter said:

I second Debi's sugestion of St. Johns worth. Natural, harmless, and very effective I've heard. THough I'm not sure if it helps in the long run, or instantly upon taking it...

The instant fix is ativan. Or xanax. It's fast acting and out of your system in four hours. I don't have any though, and it gives me a headache and makes me tired.faerieeva said:

After my divorce, followed by the death of my grandfather, who I was extremely close to, and the pressures of graduate school, I almost snapped and was clinically depressed. Finally got up the courage to say "to hell" with the stigma of being considered crazy (like I didn't have other things to worry about) and sought help. They put me on a sub-clinical dose of Lexapro. Between that and both religious and secular counseling, it got me out of that deep, dark wood and allowed me to focus back in on life and rejoice in it. I may still be crazy, but I'm a happy kindof crazy now.Miss Shelby said:

It just depends. They're usually pretty short, but it is a feeling of sheer terror and you have no idea where it comes from. Sometimes they're about a minute, sometimes up to ten.Greeter said:
There is no way to really describe it but the best way I have ever heard it put is to imagine that you are on an airplane and you learn that the engines have gone out and you have about two minutes before you die. It's like what you'd feel in that moment, and more. Compound that with the fact that you have no idea what brought it on and where it comes from.. and well, let's just say that when I said I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, I wasn't kidding.

That's what I need. Some solid spiritual counselling and direction and a plan to carry it out. Sometimes, I think it's the feeling of no control that brings them on. I agree. Happy crazy is much better than sad crazy.nyj said:After my divorce, followed by the death of my grandfather, who I was extremely close to, and the pressures of graduate school, I almost snapped and was clinically depressed.

Priest of the holy smackrament
I have the same problem Michelle. I have meant to talk to my Priest about having my house blessed and him being my spriritual director for months now, and I talk to him all the time, but I can't seem to bring myself to ask for either of those things...Miss Shelby said:
I think I will send him an email right now.

Thanks Aaron. But that would just give me heartburn. I guess if I have the heartburn though, I wouldn't notice that I feel as though I'm going stark raving mad.Aaron-Aggie said:Try salsa, hot suace, jalapeno;s or other spicy pepper products , nautal anti depressents. The hotter the better
