Although my intention was to avoid another rant on how some aspect of today's media was negatively influencing our children, I'm having a difficult time in doing so as my mind continues to return to an article I recently read in the journal Pediatrics. Well, maybe that and the other bit of news I just heard about an 8 year-old allegedly …

At 7pm the other night I looked out the window of my office to see that night had fallen and it felt really late. At least one night per week I will see clients in the evening. With the time change it feels like I get home very late and have to cram in family time before bed. It makes the days feel shorter, and as if there just isn't …

But, in order to accelerate healing and find cures research is essential and often overlooked when it comes to mental illness. Although I don't usually endorse any organizations, there is one grassroots group that is …

I'm angry

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Even on days when my husband isn't being abusive and I can somehow manage to put the affair in the back of my mind I still have a husband who is neglectful, un-compassionate, and un-understanding. He's completely ignoring my cries for help with a hefty roll of the eye and frustrated sigh. I'm bipolar, I can't help it. I really wish I weren't because I'm pretty sure my life...

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Grandma's going to the public aid office all day to fight for me. I will be home alone all day. I'm scared because I don't ever remember seizing. I hate that this is running my life right now, but it sorta is. Last night I had my longest seizure and it lasted for 8 minutes long. I wet my pajamas all the way down to my ankles. I soaked my bed. Grandma knows though.

Have either of you tried EMDR? Stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Supposed to help severe trauma survivors. A friend of mine is thinking of doing this. Check it out at:

In NZ the soils are deficient in minerals....
I have been doing a little research and what I have found in the healthy living site, that it may be a good idea to look at mineral supplements because insuffient minerals result in problems as diverse as osteoarthristis, chronic fatigue, some cancers, and poor mental concentration...
when people use a good mineral supplement they ofte...

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Information

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for certain psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences that the person experiences as highly traumatic. [1] These experiences can involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity. It is occasionally called post-traumatic stress reaction to emphasize that it is a routine result of traumatic experience rather than a manifestation of a pre-existing psychological weakness on the part of the patient.
