我遇到了一个年轻漂亮的生物。然后我跟说生物调情,是我的习惯。最后,她问我一个问题对当地政治。一个完美合理的问题,一个假设。只有一个问题,我不知道任何关于当地政治。这是因为我拒绝看新闻,因为我发现这令人沮丧的,我告诉她。她说她理解。然后我们打算去看电影。她问我选择这部电影。我选择其中一个动作悬疑片类型,然后我没有机会成为情感上激活一个愚蠢的电影。 Nope, no romantic movies on a date with me. And then we discussed the showing to see. I have to see the early show because I turn into a pumpkin at 9:00 PM. And really, I prefer to see matinees because they disrupt my sleep cycle less which disrupts my bipolar less. Poor girl, she had no idea what her flirtation had waded her into.

这个消息令人兴奋:一项研究发现,那些患有精神分裂症的认知仍有改进的空间,可以把结果。和更好的:这些结果可以实现程序的帮助下教社会和认知技能使用电脑游戏。记者昨天叫我评论之前,她完成了她的文章,当然,它也让我反思我的儿子本,以及他是如何-慢慢开始显现出更多的“成长”。One of the very first "aha moments" for me, when I finally began to learn about schizophrenia and its symptoms, came with the information that it is a "double-edged sword" of positive (added to personality) and negative (taken away from personality). I also learned, in NAMI's Family-to-Family course, about the concept of being "frozen in time" for many affected by mental illness.

首次诊断出患有精神疾病,许多人觉得有点——很多愤怒和困惑。我们可能不知道我们做错了什么,应该受到诊断耻辱和没有绝对治愈。也许我们感觉我们永远不会从精神疾病恢复,它将跟随我们一生,像狗一样咬我们的脚踝,我们不介意踢。这是正常的,这是人类,没有一个人在这个地球上,我冒昧的假设——有不会很难接受诊断。在第一位。所有这一切放在一边,把你的精神疾病,它的诊断,在角度是很重要的。污名精神疾病和精神疾病污名。

是的,控制问题可以导致焦虑,但它比这要复杂得多。焦虑让我们觉得我们是“失控。“这是它的一个最大的技巧对我们继续执政。对我们来说是很重要的看看它让我们感觉“失控”,因为一旦它是可见的,我们能做些什么。

昨日上午,鲍勃说一些我从未听过他说:“我要见我的医生。”(He was referring to his psychiatrist.) I asked why, and his answer was clear: "Because I can't sleep." I felt awful for him, he looked almost near tears. He's not the only one. Every morning, as we inch closer to Spring, I find it more difficult to get to sleep (and stay asleep), and more difficult to awake and rise in the morning (What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder [SAD]?).

“我并没有失败。我只是发现了10000种行不通的方法。”~ Thomas Alva Edison Having lived most of their lives with the inconsistency, unpredictability and undependability of life with ADHD, it is incredibly common for adults with ADHD to view themselves as “failures”. Because the executive function of their brain is not always fully activated, it is in fact normal for them to fail at least sometimes, if not frequently. Beginning in early adolescence, these typical failures can become a permanent obstacle to future successes for those with ADHD as it undermines their confidence and willingness to take future chances.

疼有边缘型人格障碍(BPD),尤其是当创伤是一个因素。然而,人们可能会导致所谓的二次伤害——也就是说,他们可以通过他们的反应伤害一个人当他/她向他们寻求帮助。在她的书中我不能克服它,阿佛洛狄忒Matsakis博士写道“一些受害者报告说他们的二次伤害的经历比原来更痛苦的和毁灭性的创伤事件。”

我最近的帖子问父母和孩子应该看到相同的精神病学家。的共识是一个响亮的“不”。(Honestly, can't you people make anything easy?) Admittedly, upon giving the situation further thought, I'd rather preserve my flawless appearance with Bob's psychiatrist and let someone else be privy to my hot-messiness. And so the search begins. (Sigh.)

自言自语是我们都做。他们称之为心理学与自己内心的沟通或沟通。可能是你的母亲的声音在你的脑海中告诉你“夹克”或一个老情人的声音告诉你,“你很胖”或简单的基督教青年会的歌词背诵了一个小时。但是你做了,我们都有一个内在的声音无论多么无意识的可能。

在我的上一篇文章中,我谈到了失眠和它对心理健康的影响。我谈到了睡眠的重要性在我们的复苏。它可以促进感情,我们可能会缓慢接近复发。通常,失眠就是失眠。但是睡得是不同的。很多不同的。昼夜不同——原谅可怕的双关语!
