I have a degree in Business Management/Marketing, but hate sitting in an office all day. I also sold media. The job was very lucrative and I functioned well in that capacity, however it was to much pressure and I was never home (family is important to me.) I went to school for teaching, but after a year I decided that the job market and salary would not meet my needs. I am very artistic. I love to draw, read, write, decorate my home and bake. I enjoy helping and taking care of others when they are sick or listening when they need advice. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and although I know nothing about automobiles, I have no problem opening up the hood and trying to figure out what is going on (my husband does not appreciate this). I really like to garden and plant flowers. I get bored easily and enjoy variety. Unfortunately, most of the jobs that I would like do not pay very well. Most people do not understand why I would rather make $5/hr deliveri

According to all of the so-called prefesionals depression is a chemical embalance that can be correted with the right medication, not a feeling of circumstance that you can just snap out of.

Well i was in an accedent in Aug. where i broke 14 bones in the left side of my body. I was laying in a hospital for a total of 5 weeks and couldn't walk around til just a week ago(still need a walker)... The second week in the hospital a psychiatrist came to my room to put me on zolof even though i wasn't irrationally depressed... i was ticked off because i 1) couldn't talk - so how could she tell i was depressed, 2) when the nurses would change my sheets they would constintly role me on to my left side which had those 14 broken bones plus chuncks of muscle torn out of my leg and skin graphs on the leg and arm - i think i had a reason to be upset by way of extreme pain

ill write more in the aditional details...

remembering the right letters for spoken words, or remembering the right names for things?

The person I'm speaking of has a problem with acronyms like VCR or DVD (they will call it VCV or DVC or VRC...).

She also has problems with names like restaurant names (the restaurant will be called "el palacio" but she constantly calls it by every other mexican restaurant name imaginable).

It seems vaguely like dislexia, but not quite the same... Is there a name for this problem? And if so, is there a way to treat it or make it more managable?

Some one tells you something that you don't know, then you see it everywhere the next day. Last night, I was waiting for my friends to get out of the theater. I was smoking in front of a toy store in Tucson called "Mrs. Tiggy Winkles." I had never heard of her before. Today, on Yahoo answers, some one asked "what kind of animal is Mrs Tiggy Winkles?" This, from my staindpoint is a very obscure reference. What do you call this kind of coincidence?

for about a month i have been on a product called st johns wort. i take 2 in the morning. sometimes one in the evening around 4 or 5 if i think this may be more of a highly charged day. for some of us we can self talk our way into feeling better. for people like me i have to fight to self talk myself. it shouldnt be that hard. sometimes the stress wins over all the self talk and we crash. now i by no mean am i trying to shove a pill down all your throats. this is coming from someone who has lived enough to know that some things are out of our control sometimes. like our minds.
i came to a point in my life where i couldnt afford the medication that helped me. so for a while me and my mind have been at war. then recently i heard of an herbal extract called st. johns wort. i was like right, how can a vitamin make me feel better.well it did. right away. it quieted my mind down totally. i can go with the flow now when before i would have been uncomfortable. try it. ill bet youll like it

Anyone in Canada knows the details of study required to become a Child Psychologist in Ontario, Canada, in terms of what specific qualifications need to get? If any information or pointers, in whatever details, is so much appreciated. The reason I ask is I am looking at BA(4-year) Child & Youth Care program at Ryerson Unviersity, and thinking of doing Master Degree after that, then PhD. I want to avoid the BA of Psychology program in whatever university, as the program usually is just theoretical for 4 years, without any internship or hands-on practice. So I'm not sure if BA in CYC can allow me to move on to become a Child Psychologist eventually. Have asked Universities, but can't get advice much from them.

Can u explain behavior of my 55 years old mother because it is weird. When she see on movie two couples kissing, she does not like that? why?I know for one fact that she is extremely devoted to catholic religion. It is so very important for her to go to church, but it does not matter whetver it brings good outcomes that proves that she is really good catholic. She is very intolernat. and for example she doesn't like when young people at church don't sign. But the point is u can't force someone against his/her will to do something. IF someone doesn't want then don't. It is voluntary. And today I let her to lend my cell phone. I gave her, as she talked she is gonna talk only 15 min. Well I agreed, but I am expecting someone to call me. And when I came to her room to ask for phone because I expect call, she ignored me and still continued to talk for long time. Personally I receive this as rude and selfish. What should I do?

It's healthy to vent, whine, and get worked up over the the everyday hoops we all have to jump through.

It's the start of a new week, christmas is right around the corner, winter is coming, and we're all realizing this past New Year's resolutions were wishful thinking.

Here's your opportunity to let it all out. What really bugs the crap out of you?
