My husband, friend and I went out last night to listen to a mutual friend's night on stage. I had a fairly decent time.
My son doesn't see me interact with a lot of friends. When I said we were going out to see a friend, he said yes but that is dad's friend. I explained to him that he was my friend too. My oldest insisted that he was still my husband's frien... -

It has been so hot for the past few weeks, I've been so grumpy. I absolutely hate the heat! Summer doesn't start for another 9 days, but we have had a heat wave already.
Today is cold, overcast and windy. It is supposed to rain too. Great :D
I am taking Chris to a restaurant for lunch. Hopefully it is open otherwise it will really suck.
Anywho, today is the first day without painkillers sin...

I woke up late to get a doctors appointment, i phoned and managed to get one in the afternoon.
We got up quite late and i didn't have time to help Cath before i had my first CAT session.
The session went alright, it was grueling, but he hit the nail on the head when it came to my mother. We started looking at my life from birth. I had to recollect qualities of my parents in the earl... -

'm not sure being rejected or death is worse. When people die, you always wish you could ask them a few more questions. Since my mom is still alive-I have the opportunity to ask why I've been rejected. She hasn't bothered to answer.

Personality Disorders Information
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Because of the inflexibility and pervasiveness of these patterns, they can cause serious problems and impairment of functioning for the persons who are afflicted with these disorders.
Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behaviour that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it. These patterns are inflexible and pervasive across many situations. The onset of the pattern can be traced back at least to the beginning of adulthood. To be diagnosed as a personality disorder, a behavioural pattern must cause significant distress or impairment in personal, social, and/or occupational situations.
There are ten personality disorders, which are grouped into three clusters:
Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders)
- Paranoid personality disorder
- Schizoid personality disorder
- Schizotypal personality disorder
Cluster B (dramatic, emotional, or erratic disorders)
- Antisocial personality disorder
- Borderline personality disorder - BPD
- Histrionic personality disorder
- Narcissistic personality disorder
Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)
- Avoidant personality disorder
- Dependent personality disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (not the same as Obsessive-compulsive disorder)
