Take the letter to your parents if they are still alive and to the pediatrician. Both steps will assure that your sister will get the help that she needs. Also, see if there is a support group at school for self esteem or some other related topic. See if you can get her friends to go 'check it out' ...

Research Direction from the world Before This One

I do not know if I can prove this. However, in 2003 I took several psychology classes at NIU and the professors shared what they were working on and what was in the forefront of discussion. One of the biggest was Violence. Violence was going to be the next DSMV or DSMVI mental illness and personalit...

My mom had a bad car accident and my grandmother had a nervous breakdown and I was abducted by a christian cult (our version of ISIS except without guns) and the stress of it all made me have a full out nervous breakdown to the point where I could no longer write in English or see reality at all. I ...

Love the ones you are with

I'm not talking about emotion. I am talking in terms of good communication, word and deed. It's Valentine's Day this weekend. And while it is a busy day for our family as we have an obligation at a church, my husband and I are taking time that day to go out, just the two of us and enjoy each other a...

Discrimination

Certainly, the world of the 1900s had more than its fair share of discrimination. The list is longer than most people would have the patience to read. But today, we are still fighting some real discrimination that is hurting people on a regular basis. 1. Women:single mothers, women on the streets, o...

Mind Body and Spirit

Even the medical advertising talks about mind body and spirit. I personally do not think we can get very far without acknowledging that there are three components to our being and when one of them is not doing well, the other parts of ourselves start to not do well either. All a person has to do is ...

Know When to Evoke Companionable Silence

Sometimes, I will say something that I heard on the news, and my husband will tell me it's not possible and that's not the way the world works. Now mind you, I just read it in the news, so obviously that is the way the world works, but rather than argue with him. I will tell him, well I saw it in th...

You know, I think that a bit of heaven is with you. I think a bit of heaven is with all of us. I see it all the time too. Pink fluffy clouds in blue skies and soft white clouds in soft blue skies and glorious sunrises and even more spectacular sunsets. I used to have fireflies, but they all went awa...

Living with an Insecure Person if your are Depressed

For the last 7 years my husband, not knowing how to deal with changes in the family makes sure that I am beaten down regularly emotionally by yelling and getting defensive even over me saying "Hello" when he comes home. Last night by the time he was done I found myself curling up in a ball...

YouTube IT!!!

When I have severe anxiety as well as at times physical pain, the depression hits. One of the tools I use to combat this is Youtube. Yesterday, I was going through a rough day and started looking at pet rescues. Dogs and cats NEVER deserve to have the horrible things done to them that some mean peop...

I live in a suburban area near Chicago and I hear wildlife all the time. Owls, birds, ground squirrels, and coyotes. In the summer time, near a pond that I dug out, i can hear frogs. These are comforting sounds that says you are not alone. Pets are amazing persons. They helps so much for people who ...
