Ask the Chaplain

Self-help is useful, but it is not a substitute for professional assistance. Emotional and behavioral problems can be debilitating and dangerous. Please seek professional help: 

if you have thoughts of killing yourself or harming others;
if you feel depressed, anxious, guilty or down on yourself frequently; if you are abusing substances; if your performance or interpersonal relationships are impaired.

"Our purpose is to give information.. We can not, and are not, assuming the role of your physician or therapist in any of our replies. 

We also do not know your other medical problems and psychiatric diagnoses, which usually have a dramatic effect on medication (and other treatment) recommendations. You must make a medical and treatment plan with your physician and therapist(s).

Cheryl has unselfishly volunteered her time to answer emails from consumers or their family members and friends as a Christian Chaplain.

Cheryl says...

"Have you ever wondered where God is when people suffer? Did He cause the suffering? Does He care? If you ever have questions like this, you might want to talk to a Chaplain. 

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the God of the Bible and His working in this world. I would also be willing to disciple those who are Christians who want to walk closer to Him. If you have any questions, or would just like to talk you can reach me here.

I now have a website specifically for Christian women who want to have an authentic walk with Christ through the lens of BPD and other mental disorders. Cornerstone Connection: Above and Beyond. It's www.ccab.us. 

I have finished my M.Min degree in Biblical Counseling and have been endorsed by the Conservative Baptists of America as a Chaplain for Women's Discipleship. At some point I may be going back for my D.P.Th. in Life Issues. (but later). My focus is STRICTLY Biblical...I do not ascribe to the "all roads lead to God theory" because neither God of the Old Testament nor His Son Jesus Christ did, but I do not want to offend or blow away those that happen to hold this view. It is my desire to Disciple those women who are already Christians.

In His Service, Cheryl" (1Peter 3:15)
