Question: My husband and I met while we were both on the rebound and were both doing a lot of partying which continued far too long into our married life. We both did quit our bad habits however in the following years I focused on the kids and their activities and he worked more hours. Now all the children have moved on and I continually feel alone in a house with 2 people. We don't share any common interests and I think the love has gone out of the relationship for me. I am

All of us want to be successful. All of us have big dreams. We all try very hard to achieve them. But on our way to achieving those dreams, if we face a failure, we just break down totally. Sometimes we don't even feel like trying the same job again just because of the failure we faced in the previous attempt. And if we get up and start doing it, we are not able to put our 100% in it. Consciously or unconsciously, the fear of failure affects our performance. Students put so m

There is the pain that pulls us toward loneliness and emptiness. And there are actions we must do to leave this negative feeling from our lives. If we can do it we will be able to live the life of happiness and joy. rnDo you find yourself in a situation wherein you felt alone and abandoned? The feeling of being unworthy of love and attention makes your life lonely. No matter how you look for a patch for the emptiness you felt still the pang of loneliness pulls you down. You a

You may be wondering how you can heal your fear of abandonment.n nStart by giving yourself a break. This is one of the most universal and painful issues there is. Could I survive alone? Probably not. These intense feelings around abandonment are unconsciously linked to survival abandonment issues.

Sometimes we can feel unhappy in certain rooms or areas of our home, but can’t really come up with a logical explanation as to why this is. The reason behind your mood changes and depressed emotions could, however, be due to the lighting in your home. Why not update your current lighting solutions in order to avoid some of the affects listed below? Poor lighting can cause eye fatigue and headaches, which make us feel depressed or ill in the space constantly. Poor natural li

Chronic fatigue syndrome and nervous breakdown are often thought of as a condition that is one and the same. However, these two are entirely different from each other. Here we differentiate the two by looking into their definitions, signs and symptoms and other pertinent information. Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disorder that affects a lot of people, a condition wherein the fatigue does not have a known cause and it occurs for a long period of time, for six months or even l

Sometimes the causes of your abandonment issues are painfully obvious. But even if you weren't literally abandoned, fear of abandonment is said to be the first fear of all infants. nnAnd then there is life itself: nn "Life is full of orphaning experiences, and some n people have more than their share of them. Many n orphans live in what appear to be intact families, n but the children are not cherished, nurtured, or n guided and do not feel emotionally or physically n safe."

You hear about it all the time. First impressions are lasting impressions, you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Nobody will know how good you are unless you make a good first impression on them. Unfortunately most people see themselves as not good at making a first impression. People have insecurities about their looks, their speech, whether they say the right thing, and whether they committed a gaffe and blew the opportunity. This happens in job interviews and when meeting people for the first time. Most people don't feel confident that they made a good impression.

Many people who try antidepressants to relieve their depression find that the antidepressants just don’t work. Living with depression is painful and can even become debilitating, and those who live with it know that depression can rob them of energy and motivation. Those who suffer from depression are more likely to have physical health disorders that those who do not suffer from depression.nnWhy do antidepressants sometimes not work to alleviate depression? Some types of a

Everyone defines Personal Growth in his or her own terms. It is amazing how many people refer to it as a journey, while others look at it as an evolution. A group of individuals and industry leaders have generously shared what personal growth means to them. There is so much wisdom in each and every one of their statements—a richness of experience in life that helps us understand who we are and why we are here. Here are some of them:

Emo and Cutting nnCutting is something that has come to many people’s attention in recent years for the wrong reasons. Although people have been engaging in self-harm behavior, such as cutting, for decades, it has only recently been thrust into the spotlight, usually under the guise of an act carried out by people who like emo music or are part of the emo scene , so much so that the idea of an emo kid cutting is a huge stereotype. The truth, though, is cutting and emo a

I remember the days when it took everything I had to get through the next second of my life. I was so far down into that deep dark hole that nothing, not friends, not love, not money, not even my son could pull me out. All I wanted to do was to die, but it was not because I did not want to live, it was because I wanted the “pain” to go away. To try to describe the pain is nearly impossible. No words can describe the feelings and emotions that one feels while living in tha

Freedom from DepressionnBy Shaun DavisnIt is estimated that more than 3/10 have suffered or will suffer from depression at some time in there lives, the problem with low grade depression is that often those suffering from it don’t actually know that they have a problem and therefore don’t seek help. Which is a great shame. The good news with low-grade depression is that it can often be successfully treated. nAre you feeling down, for no specific reason?, or are you unable

Ridding yourself of anger may sound easy to some people however it takes a lot more than reading a book or taking a class to truly live anger-free. No one can do it for you, so one mustn’t look outside themselves for solutions but search within instead. The biggest problem is that anger is a vicious cycle. Let me explain. If an individual is angry, odds are that person does not want to try anything new. They blame others for things that are their own fault and believe they know all they need to know. (I was one of these people for decades).

It's easy to think that having depression is something that will affect you for the rest of your life, especially when you're going through a really bad episode. I know because I've been as low as it's possible to go with depression. I also know that things don't have to be like that forever. With the right diagnosis and the right treatment you can look forward to a happier life, even if it doesn't feel achievable right now. Four years ago my life was a complete and utter me

The recent Tsunami and earthquake in Japan left many people in a state of shock, sadness, fear, and anxiety. Many survivors are still looking for missing family members and friends. It is inevitable that many people in Japan will develop Post Traumatic Stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of this natural disaster. In addition, it is common for trauma survivors to have symptoms of depression, anxiety and insomnia.

Depression affects over 121 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Depression takes on various forms from mild to severe and women are twice as likely than men to be affected by depression especially during childbearing years. Most of us have heard of or know of someone with severe depression such as when someone takes to their bed for days or months on end, unable to go to work or care for their family.

I was diagnosed with a mental illness last year. A mild mood disorder called dysthymia. I wondered how will people see me now that I’ve gone public with dysthymia? Will they think I’m crazy?

I was recently interviewed for an upcoming production that will address bipolar disorder and pregnancy. As a result, I thought it would be an appropriate time to share my thoughts on bipolar disorder and pregnancy. The pressing question is can a woman with bipolar disorder have a successful pregnancy and postpartum period? I believe the answer to this question is yes but there seems to be debate over whether or not a woman with bipolar disorder should even become pregnant let alone have a successful pregnancy.

Some of us are perplexed when we hear the term “Unipolar” Depression. This is a term used to describe “Major Depression” which is different from Bipolar (Manic). This mental state is more understandable if we think of a mood that occurs on a regular basis. For example: Good (Up) or Bad (Down) and in some cases the mood remains in a neutral state. Someone suffering from this disorder can experience a serious impairment which stems from shifting between up and down moods, such as having Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Disorder: A seesaw back and forth between moods. “Bi” meaning two.r

o many people suffer from such severe dis-ease that they lose their will to live. They live with constant "pain" never believing that life could and can be better. I know this to be true because I used to be one of them until I made the choice to embrace life and all that it is. Easier said then done right? Right. Wrong. It just depends on you and how badly you want to feel better. Some people do not want to feel better because they are in their comfort zone. There is fear of

Since October is the Mental Health Awareness month I would like to join the cause and spread the word about problems related to mental health. But first things first. What is it all about and why it is important for everyone to maintain good mental health? When people are in a condition of good mental health they are capable to work, study, and engage in various activities without any difficulty in particular. However when they have a mental disorder it becomes reflected in t

Recently, one of my relatives stated that Dysthymia is nothing more than a mild depression, that I should do my research and I was making a big deal out of nothing. Nothing? Depression is nothing? Here’s why I wrote Born Mad on this rarely talked about disorder:

Allergens such as dust, viruses and other pollutants cause colds and flu. Some of the symptoms displayed by people known to the sneezing, runny nose, cough and headache and flu symptoms, body and muscle aches, chills and fever are increasing dramatically. How and why have they created?

I believe there needs be greater understanding about the actual cause of depression, as the majority of the information available concerns the symptoms and how to deal with them. The problem with trying to deal with the symptoms rather than the cause of depression, is that you are just fighting with shadows. Because depression is NOT the problem , that is merely the symptom. So today I would like to discuss the TRUE cause of depression . I hope that this will help those who a

Ever felt that you are stuck in a rut, burnt-out or feeling depressed? Everything you try to do is an effort, you become fearful, or you start losing your self-confidence then your self-esteem goes. You find that it is a battle to get out of bed in the morning. You become very negative, and everyone with whom you come into contact irritates you. I am sure you have been there, at some stage of your lives.

The middle dementia stages can be regarded as as being the most problematic stage for the caregiver and even those individuals that suffer with this ailment. Individuals who suffer from dementia struggle with uncertainty along with discouragement particularly when he/she also have intellectual deterioration. Their loved ones, especially their care providers are going to face numerous day by day issues, for this reason, they need to have a wide understanding regarding this dis

Of course, we are all participants in our own lives. But sometimes we live life from a distance, watching it go by without making any vigorous moves to keep from getting stuck, or to reach a goal that requires some extra effort. It is almost like we are a spectator of our own lives, just thinking or talking about ourselves, but not being aware of the physical connection to our issues. To be a full participant in our lives, we need to include the body. There is a physical root to most conce s, even if they may seem to be mostly on the emotional, mental, or spiritual level.

A romance gone wrong, a death of a loved one, a disappointment in your endeavours are just a few of the reasons why we become sad. Sadness and grief are normal. It’s just how the body reacts and cope to some of life’s stressors. Typically, most people will heal and then revert back to their natural selves. However, if these feelings of sadness and grief do not go away, and they start to disrupts with the person’s daily life, it is no longer normal. It becomes a mood disorder,

Learning how to control anger is a difficult challenge. Once you’ve overcome the first test, which is recognizing that you need help with your anger issues, you still have a long way to go. And it helps if you’ve got some folks to help you out. If you’re trying to decide between individual therapy and group therapy, here are some benefits you can get from anger management groups that may help convince you that having a support group is more effective.

Beating depression takes a lot of determination and patience. I recently read an interesting but daft article - yes daft - that stated that people who have severe conditions and illnesses suffer from depression. Well it does not take much to work out that if you are in a lot of pain, or cannot walk, are blind, deaf or have some other distressing health problem this will lead to depression. There is a chicken and egg situation here because most of these people would not end up

We all know that there are many different methods to stop smoking, some a lot more effective than the others. This article is about stopping smoking all by yourself. Whether you have tried before or you are doing so now for the first time, the following techniques makes it both simple and easy.

Anxiety is a common complaint among people of all ages. The sources of their anxieties varies with each person. Some are anxious about everything, while others are anxious about a specific, narrow life issue such as job and money. Anxiety is generally not negative as long as (1) it’s mild and; (2) the patient is conscious of their thoughts. Here I am talking about anxieties that do not arise from some kind of trauma.

With all the recent talk about gun control and mental health, I decided to take a look at how far America’s mental health system has changed (or not changed) over the past few years. First, I must state that when I wrote a blog about Mental Illness and the Law, the research shows that those with mental illness are no more violent than the general population when substance abuse is not involved. In fact, according to an overview published in the June 2003 issue of World Psychiatry, one of the findings was:

Everyone has felt sad or down at some time in their life as a result of life events such as a move to another city, loss of a job, medical reasons, etc. This is a normal part of life and it happens to all of us.

Hypochondriasis some times called health anxiety is an illness in which patient is preoccupied with fear of having a serious disease. This type of thinking persists despite all negative investigations and reassurance. He misinterprets various normal bodily sensations or mild physical symptoms as signs of serious disease. Patient often involves in self examining behaviour e.g. monitors pulse rate, blood pressure examining skin lesions or body parts. Any body area may be involv

“It will get better.” This is the common statement to victims of bullying, often made by celebrities – celebrities who were once bullied themselves. And there is also this common belief that once a victim leaves high school and moves onto college, it’s over. It’s Not Over

The road was long, dusty and rough. It went on winding through the forest and was strewn with rocks and ruts, which was hard on the feet. A lone pair of soft leather slippers worn by a tired peasant trod along its path.

Have you ever seen a pouting six year old child? They may have their lower lip puffed out. You might hear them saying things like "Leave me alone mommy" or "go away." Then their parents may try to talk to them a bit to see if they can coax them into a better mood. If that fails, they may just let the kid be for a while until they return to a better mood. But what does your depression and a pouting six-year old's behavior have in common? As it turns out, both of you may be pu

Life is hard at times. Everyone experiences emotional pain over the course of their entire life. Our pain comes from various crisis. A crisis may be “situational” and “maturational" or "developmental." Situational crsis refers to a sudden, accidental, frightening, and often catastrophic event that one can’t anticipate or control. Examples are physical illness and injury, loss or death of the loved one, assault, fatal accident, natural disaster, war, terrorist attack, separation/divorce, the loss of your job and severe economic depression to name a few.

Endogenous depression is classified as a mood disorder and is believed to be genetic. It is also believed to affect people from birth. When you have this disorder, you become prone to depression during traumatic events or under a lot of stress. This type of disorder normally goes undetected or under treated in children and young people. You may not be aware that you have it until you start experiencing physical and emotional difficulties. The depressive episodes can happen at

If you feel depressed, you may have an unhelpful inner critic who holds you to unreasonable standards in your everyday life. Your inner critic can create cognitive distortions by repeating unhelpful statements in your mind every day. You may directly experience your inner critic’s statements as your thoughts. However, these thoughts can run through your mind so fast that you may not even be aware of they exist. Rather the inner critic can affect you subconsciously.

As you begin to decide on the logistics of your support group, one of the first things to consider is who you would prefer to actually attend. For example: - Will this be a group for men as well as women, adults, and possibly teenagers? - Will your group serve those have recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness, or those who have lived with illness for many years? - Will seniors who live at home independently find it to be of value, as well as those who are currently living in assisted living facilities? - Don't forget to include people who are single who live alone, as we

In the first part of this article: Mental Health, Depression And Positive Mental Health Habits I discussed some general facts about what mental health is, why it is important and provided a short, simplified description of depression. In this part I would like to focus more on the healthy habits that could eliminate the possibility of a depression episode. Healthy Mental Health Habits Depression can be avoided even in the worst of all situations like deep grief and loss, just

Almost all of us wish to have long, lean legs that seem to be going on for miles. However, few among us have those supermodel-legs, keeping those who don’t thinking of ways to add a few inches. While most use Photoshop to make their photos look better, what to do in the real life? The answer is simple enough; a few styling tricks can actually create the illusion of long legs, making you look tall and slender. 1. Selecting the Right Shoes

Many people over the years have claimed to have found the secrets to happiness. Not many of them have had any sort of formal training in the understanding of human thinking and behaviour. Yet many of these have made lots of money selling products and services which have not always proven to be of great benefit. I very much hope you read the following because I’m confident it will work for you.

Are you stressed out and tired of not being happy? Perhaps you are not paying enough attention to yourself. While many stress reduction techniques are available, I would like to discuss weight training as a stress reduction technique. The payoff for a regular weight lifting routine is enormous benefits to your body and mind. This includes increased muscle tone and optimal body functioning. Here are three reasons why lifting weights reduces stress and negative thoughts.

I recently learned from my routine annual blood test that my thyroid is hyperactive. Since getting the results, questions have been running through my mind as to what could be causing my thyroid to overwork. My thyroid has been checked regularly over the years and the results have been fine so why am I having the problem now?

I distinctly remember the day that my life changed forever. After a few weeks of intense swelling in various parts of my body, my doctor called to give me the lab results at my place of work. She said the rheumatoid factor was positive and that this most likely was due to the fact that I did indeed have rheumatoid arthritis. I took a deep breath and asked, "On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being normal, what can I expect my life to be like from now on?" She tried to avoid the question, not wishing to discourage me.

Do you have trouble remembering your schoolwork? Do you get overwhelmed when you look at the material you need to study for an upcoming test? If this describes you, this article can help.

Depression is a medical condition. It is not just on one's mind. It is not an imaginary illness. It is a real disorder that requires to be diagnosed. Hence, a person who suspects himself or herself of being depressed must undergo depression test to confirm the existence of the said disorder. Eventually, depression is like any other illness that demands for treatment. Medical practitioners and mental health experts usually conduct several depression tests to diagnose whether

Quite a few people experience depression after surgery for a number of reasons. The effects of general anesthesia can last well after surgery as it affects people in different ways. There is no way to predict depression but there are a number of life circumstances that can cause it. Many people may experience depression at some point in their lives. People who experience depression after surgery can easily overlook their symptoms as part of their general recovery. Having majo

Occasionally we make the mistake of believing in stereotypes simply due to the fact legends, books, movies, television and other forms of media tell us that they’re true. Santa Claus is a perfect example. The Victorian-age poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” tells us (little kids, in specific) that Santa Claus can be a happy, jolly, nimble, and had a belly that “shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.” Only an obese adult would wonder why Santa is so jolly, and how he manages to slinker down all those tight chimneys.

Depression the Illness Depression is an illness that can affect anyone at any time. The symptoms are not always recognized as Depression, because you might be feeling a bit low on energy, a bit emotional, getting up in the morning is an effort, self-esteem seems to have flown out of the window.

Depression affects nearly 16 millio Americans annually, and a large portion of those people take antidepressant drugs. While antidepressants have been shown to help those with moderate to severe depression, they are usually less effective for those with mild depression. If you don't respond to antidepressants (or even if you do), you may want to explore nondrug remedies to lift your depression. Exercise Exercise can relieve depression, possibly by altering the mood-regulating brain chemicals norepinephrine and serotonin.

Self Acceptance is a major part of self-esteem and is a great place to start to improve self-esteem. Self acceptance is made of two parts. The first part is the acceptance of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sometimes we can become very embarrassed about how we have acted or felt in the past. To stop that embarrassment we deny or disown those moments. Every time we deny or disown ourselves we are saying there is a part of ourselves that is just not right. What is importan

In modern society, teenagers are faced with many challenges which oftentimes can be difficult to overcome. Academic pressures, social pressures, acne and other problems can pile up and can become exacerbated by the hormonal changes taking place during adolescence. Oftentimes, these pressures can lead to conditions such as depression, attention deficit (ADHD), low school performance or social isolation, especially when left untreated. The first thing that all parents should d

Women suffer from depression twice as often as men. This statistic has been shown to be true, not only for American women, but for women in eleven other countries as well. This high statistic for depression among women exists regardless of racial and ethnic background or economic status. Can depression in women be prevented and treated? Of course it can, but we need to shift our thinking away from medications and talk therapy toward more workable solutions. We need to make th

America’s young boys may look like they are in control of their lives as they hang together in groups and swagger down the streets, but in truth they are under tremendous pressure today. Violence by teenage boys in the nation’s schools has focused attention on why these adolescents developed such extreme behavioral problems. A recent survey points to one potential reason: a high percentage of boys have experienced violence themselves. According to a Commonwealth Fund surv

We do not have a brain: according to Maclean, who first proposed the model of the triune brain, we have three brains, the Reptilian, the Mammalian and the Thinking Brain, stacked on top of each other in the order they have evolved. The oldest and the most primitive of the brains, the reptile brain remains basically unchanged since it first appeared in reptiles. It’s main “concern” is to keep our body alive and reproduce. It does not “think”, it does not have emotions, it only “acts in a cold and uncalculated way.

Anger is a completely normal and healthful emotion. It helps us focus our awareness on situations that require our attention, and helps us rouse the energy needed to protect ourselves from harm. But when anger is frozen into cynical hostility or resentment, it robs us of our natural capacity to give and receive the love and social support that protect us from the emotional (chemical) surges that can contribute to heart disease. Hostility can use up a great deal of energy and make us miserable. Healthful anger is flexible, controlled, and specific.

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. On top of that, it seems as though there haven’t been enough hours in the day to accomplish all that’s on my “to-do” list. Absolutely, I’ve been pushing myself to the max in recent weeks. And I can feel it mentally, emotionally, and physically. Have you ever been in the midst of such circumstances? Perhaps you are right now. Coping during such times becomes a genuine challenge. And for me it becomes a personal game. Just how much can I heap

Core beliefs are found at the hub of every depression and can be thought of as nuggets of self-hatred. They develop as a result of experiences that you believe define who you are. In brief, all your suffering is caused by identification with experience. As an example, picture what happens when a child is raised by psychologically immature, alcoholic parents. They elect to spend their time going out drinking in the place of raising their child. The child makes meaning of that

Do you think you have postpartum depression? Don’t worry because there is nothing wrong with you. Postpartum depression affects most mothers, especially new moms. It is also commonly known as “baby blues” and it is caused by the sudden changes in your hormones. Most women experience the symptoms of postpartum depression for about a week; however, it can also last longer in some women. Before you learn about how to combat postpartum blues, it is very helpful for you to learn

The power of depression It was like being trapped, it was like I knew I’m lost and I can’t do anything about it. I know everybody says the same things about depression: It’s feeling of hopelessness, people think you’re lazy, you have no energy, you see no point in doing things, you see no way out. It all is true, but for someone who has not suffered from depression, these are only words. It’s like you can’t imagine what it feels like to be a bird, you can only spe

Depression is one of the most awful things to get a handle on because you can be feeling dreadful yet to the outside World you look alright. You may have been feeling fine six months ago and now you are telling them that you wish you were dead, you are suicidal, you cannot get any enthusiasm to go to work, get washed and dressed, you have trouble sleeping and you have gone off you food. On top of that you find it hard to concentrate so life is pretty grim. At least one of the

Self-Esteem – How Does One Acquire and Maintain It – By Sarah Hongerloot © Sarah Hongerloot March 2011

I had an epiphany watching Tiger Woods play in The Masters recently. It was the last day of play and he was in the zone, playing like his old winner self and moving up in the pack. But then he made a mistake, and another, and another. He began to grimace, obviously upset with himself. His frustration only tightened the grip of this losing self that had taken over. He was playing against himself. It became clear to me that the real Masters game of life is to become aware of th

Are you tired of the Christmas ads yet? You know the ones that show happy families together for the holidays, having the best time of their year, not a care in the world, and surrounded by those that they love and love them. Unfortunately, this is not the reality of many people during the holiday season. Many will be alone, hurting, and depressed. The holidays only seem to magnify the emotional pain that people live with. Why is this, you may ask? It's because the commercial

Medical reports from patients plus clinical findings implicate antidepressants, like Zoloft, in several serious and even life-threatening side effects. Among the harmful effects of antidepressants that have come to light is the probable risk for autism in a child, based on a July 2011 CNN report. A research conducted by Lisa Croen, Ph.D., director of autism research at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, found that infants who were exposed to antidepressants during the fir

I believe that a blog can have a very positive effect on most people, and maybe especially those fighting depression, unemployment and boredom. It will not solve all problems in a minute or two, but it can for sure help people take small steps towards a brighter future. There are tons of articles on the Internet dealing with how you can make money on your blog. In fact, I have written some similar articles myself. But when it comes to growing in your personal life, purpose i
