  • 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.

What's on your mind?

I’m going to count this as “day one” for some goals. So this is like early new years day. ^_^
I guess I should make some solid goals now.

It's Christmastime. I should be happy and feeling festive. Just a week ago, I was really happy and getting excited for it. But now I've been feeling so down for the last few days for some reason, and just can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit as much as I usually do.

I think I'm just frustrated with and tired of how my life has been more recently. There are so many things I'm not happy with and that I want to change but can't (yet) for one reason or another.

I think I'm spending way too much time online, especially on CF. Usually when I'm not on CF I can't wait to get back on. When I'm on CF I spend lots of time looking around the site even when nothing is going on. I never get enough done offline or anywhere besides CF. Whenever I start a non-digital project it takes me forever to finish. I rarely do much of anything on other sites either, but I don't know how I can get myself to spend less time online when I have such a hard time getting myself away from CF sometimes.

I've been doing most of the things in my life on a daily schedule that I pretty much made myself for several years now, and I'm tired of it, but I can't seem to get myself out of it. The problem is that even when I try not to do it, I just end up going back to it. If I change up my schedule at all then that becomes a new schedule that I can't get out of. All of this makes me realize even more how fast time goes and how quickly my life is going to go by...

And well, growing up I had the typical plans when I got older: learn to drive, go to college, get a job...but then anxiety struck when I was a teenager and messed up my life for several years. Now I haven't gotten any of that accomplished, and sometimes it really gets me down.

Oh, there are at least a few other things too, but I don't want to write a book here. I know I should be thankful for what I do have because it could be much worse, and overall, it probably was worse last year. I'm just having a hard time feeling grateful these days.

...Sorry, that was a lot. o_O If you've read this far, thank you. If not, that's all right.

Welcome to having a Saucy in your life. You start out happy and full of life, but as you get to know your Saucy, suddenly you find yourself drained and ready for death. It truly is a burden to know one of us.

Sales have picked up tremendously and I think I'm finally ready to invest in that set of wheels. I'm still really optimistically careful though. Just been trying to seek some advice today from my closest advisors. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have a truck!

Maybe just start by taking a weekend off from logging in to CF and other sites. See how you feel. I have taken several long breaks since I joined CF to focus on other things. The break can be helpful sometimes. You don't even have to take a complete break. Just limit yourself to logging in once a day ( that way you can still connect with everyone, but not have the forum drain all your free time).

I also find it helps to break your tasks or goals down into smaller more manageable tasks.

You should also remind her that you missed me so terribly, you rejoined as fast as you could. I understand your pain.

If it makes you feel better, I didn't get my drivers license until I was 22 (I think....may have been 21 or 23). It's never too late to do that. I've heard of women who got their license when they were in their 40's or 50's. Don't compare yourself to others or what they have done. If you want to get your license, go to college, or get a job then do it. Don't beat yourself up, it's a journey and a process.:hug:

Thank you, that is good advice. :hug:

I mainly feel frustrated about that because I think my parents expected me to do those things sooner, and it makes me feel bad when they bring it up. It gets frustrating having to wait for them to take me places because they often don't have time.

I'm glad you understand, though. I know exactly what you mean.

I just found out that Pastor Burton Seavey died back in 2014. He was the most influential person to me in my time at Bible college, it was because of him that my relationship with God deepened. I have never met someone as powerfully gifted in the prophetic as he was. He actually prophesied in class once to a fellow student i knew, it was amazing. His testimony is still stuck in me. RIP man of God, may we walk in the same passion and anointing as you did.

It's finally happening. I'm going to my first mental health appointment on January 8.

I hope I can fix this because my eating habits have gotten out of control, my self esteem is down the gutter, I'm basically doing nothing with my life right now, and my overall physical and mental health is slowly sinking to rock bottom.

Thank you all for your prayers so far. I love you all very much for pushing me to the right direction. The internet can truly be a godsend for social hermits like me.
