Taking Care of Ourselves - Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally: Apr 28, 10:48pm 5 reviews mental-health, self-improvement, emotional-health, hsp, codependency
http://samsara.ihostyou.com/taking-care-of-ourselves-physically-emotionally-m...; Taking Care of Ourselves
Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually
We take care of ourselves because no one is as invested in our own serenity, usefulness, and happiness as we are. We take care of ourselves because our path is individual and someone else on a different path may be stunted and we do not want to follow them, knowing that if we do, we will be stunted. We gain courage by recognizing that fear is normal when we're about to embark on change but that we can feel the fear and do it anyway! We will understand that sometimes we may feel alone and even often lonely but know that though we may walk our path sometimes alone, we are never truly alone; There are others walking this path too.

We understand that agreements in this life can change anytime we need to; Anytime we realize these agreements have quit working or never did. We acknowledge and get that there will be people in this life who disagree with our path and though it may be disappointing or even hurt, we rise anyway.

That was the conclusion.

Mental Health Abuse-Psychiatric Rape: Apr 12, 7:19pm 1 review health, mental-health, women, emotional-health, abuse
http://www.mental-health-abuse.org/psychRape6.html; Mental Health Abuse in the form of Psychiatric Rape does happen. What can we do to counter this when people with mental or emotional problems go to a Doctor for help? They, in effect, put their entire life and well-being into his hands. So that when it turns out to be misplaced, it can turn out like this...

On February 11, 1998, Missouri psychiatrist William Cone was sentenced to 133 years in prison for sexual and deviate sexual assault of two patients. Cone told the women they had been weaned too early and needed to be "re-parented," which required having sex with him. To convince them, he gave them large amounts of psychotropic drugs to which they became addicted.

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person [HSP]?
A quite thorough set of questions to ask yourself if you may be HSP

I am easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input.
I seem to be aware of subtleties in my environment.
Other people's moods affect me.
I tend to be very sensitive to pain.
I find myself needing to withdraw during busy days, into bed or into a darkened room or any place where I can have some privacy and relief from stimulation.
I am particularly sensitive to the effects of caffeine.
I am easily overwhelmed by things like bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens close by.
I have a rich, complex inner life.
I am made uncomfortable by loud noises.
I am deeply moved by the arts or music.
My nervous system sometimes feels so frazzled that I just have to get off by myself.
I am conscientious.
I startle easily.
I get rattled when I have a lot to do in a short amount of time.
When people are uncomfortable in a physical environment I tend to know what needs to be done to make it more comfortable (like changing the lighting or the seating).
I am annoyed when people try to get me to do too many things at once.
I try hard to avoid making mistakes or forgetting things.
I make a point to avoid violent movies and TV shows.
I become unpleasantly aroused when a lot is going on around me.
Being very hungry creates a strong reaction in me, disrupting my concentration or mood.
Changes in my life shake me up.
I notice and enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, works of art.
I find it unpleasant to have a lot going on at once.
I make it a high priority to arrange my life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations.
I am bothered by intense stimuli, like loud noises or chaotic scenes.
When I must compete or be observed while performing a task, I become so nervous or shaky that I do much worse than I would otherwise.
When I was a child, my parents or teachers seemed to see me as sensitive or shy.

About ADD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Jan 2, 2:19pm 1 review mental-health, self-improvement, emotional-health, a-c-e, a-d-d
http://add.about.com/; Going to sleep at night is God's way of allowing us to have new resolutions every morning we awake. I wish more people would take this vantage as opposed to waiting for the earth's rotation to complete a sun cycling.

Married man: ‘I slept with 13 women this week’ - Getting Personal - MSNBC.…: Dec 20, 2007 11:02pm 3 reviews mental-health, psychology, emotional-health, sociopathic
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22330315/; "What is so very disturbing is your complete lack of guilt, remorse or empathy for the other parties involved. You know intellectually that this is bad behavior, because you are aware you are betraying your spouse and hurting all the other woman you deal with. Yet it seems that you understand this only on a purely observational level."

*Doctor tells a write in male he is a sex addict and a sociopath after he confesses he loves to seduce, sex, and then dump women.

20/20 journalist Lynn Sherr grieves lost husband - The Cancer Blog: Dec 17, 2007 4:47pm 2 reviews mental-health, emotional-health, grief, loss, sadness
http://www.thecancerblog.com/2006/11/26/20-20-journalist-lynn-sherr-grieves-l...; I was in PM with someone recently who lost his dad to cancer not long ago. Something that stayed with me was what he shared that someone said to him at the funeral.

"He's gone now, nothing you can do about it. Pull yourself together, stop crying, be a man and get on with your life".

There aren't appropriate words to convey the sort of callousness this takes. Grief is the most personal emotion any one can go through. It's hard enough to "be there" fully for people going through their process but to lack any common decency is an outright betrayal of the memory of their spiritual center that used to make them human.

So if you're dead inside, please respect the memory of your spirit that is so clearly no longer present, and keep your mouth shut while your friend grieves.
