  • 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.

Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. And yes caffeine can definitely affect moods. I used to be very sensitive to it, but it doesn't seem to bother me now unless i over do it.
At one time, one of my daughters was diagnosed as bipolar, but now they think that was not the issue.
How are you doing? Are you taking any medication for this?

Yes, I do take an anti-depressant and St. John's Wart. I've also modified my diet substantially to help control my blood sugar level and my moods. I rely so much upon God and my husband to help me when I need it the most. My doctor recommended I also see a Christian phychatrist for my bipolar, but I haven't done so yet. I'm still praying for God to provide this for me.

ROFL!

Okay, that one is more for me. I am NOT a morning person. Did I mention that I'm not a morning person because I'm not!

Dear little Red Fox, what type of bipolar do you have? I'm not an professional or anything but I know there's bipolar I which is mania with some depression, bipolar II which is some mania and major depression, and cyclothymia which is mild manias and depressions that's low grade cycling of moods but it does disrupt functioning. Then there's also stuff like rapid cycling and mixed cycles to describe it too. My ex was rapid cycling and OY VEY--some days he would go through cycles in one day! My son is also bipolar and it took me forever to see it because he goes through about 3 months of doing better and then about 3 months of doing lousy--well DUR! He's got 3 month cycles! When he's "doing better" he's manic, happy, great to be with, and works hard to get his life straightened out. When he's doing lousy he's depressed, doesn't care about his health or work, and his life starts to go downhill.

Anyway, I'm just caring about ya! You don't have to answer if you don't want to or you don't know yet.
