  • 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.

I need some advice and some prayers...

I just got back from the doctor's and it wasn't real good news. I just had twin boys and I also have a two year old. Needless to say stress has been a big factor lately. My husband helps with the kids, to a point. He works full-time too. Well the doctor said my blood pressure is high and i've gain weight, so I'm well on my way to diabetes. He also says, I have depression and anxiety. He gave me some pills to help with this. The problem is, I told my husband and he just doesn't get it. He has taken this as a personal thing against him. Instead of trying to help me remain calmer, he doesn't talk to me. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I don't want to stress you out!" I told him he wasn't the only reason for my stress and of course he jumped on the word "only" as if I was blaming him for all of it. I really could use some advice and prayers. thanks to all :help: :(

Depression sucks. It's hard for someone who doesn't have it to understand it. It's like a springboard for other problems too, like anxiety. It just sucks.
There's not much I could add to this. Meds. I hope you have a good doctor when it comes to them. My doc tells me with the right medicine I should notice a remarkable difference and not to put up with side effects.

For you and your husband: lots of patience, grace, and understanding.
