But if there’s one thing I’ve learned as an expat, it’s that pangs of homesickness strike at the most unexpected moments. There I was, minding my own business and indulging in a pedicure (like most things in Australia, they cost about 30% more than they do back home), when “Empire State of Mind” came on a TV video channel countdown. As images of New York flashed before me, and Alicia Keys warbled about my adopted hometown’s rejuvenating powers, I suddenly felt very far away, and a lump began to form in my throat. A row of nail technicians stared as my eyes welled up and I began to sniffle; they quizzically swiveled their he...

The first post in the series can be found here. Continuing on with our tips… Forgive the blow-off. Busy people are constantly being approached by those who are coming from a place of neediness. This is why busy people often seem a bit aloof when you first talk to them. Their shields are up. I admit that when I enter new social situations with people who may know me, but I don’t know much about them, I tend to have my shields up. I get approached so often by people who want to vamp something from me that I’ve become pretty resistant to people who approach me on the basis of neediness. I’ve also gotten pretty good at detecting Trojan horse approaches, where the person acts like they’re offering genuine fri...

Joining our popular blog on bipolar disorder, Bipolar Beat, our new blog is called Celebrity Psychings and is written by freelance writer, Alicia Sparks. You may recognize that name, as Alicia was the author behind the blog, Mental Health Notes. I was an avid reader of Mental Health Notes and recognized that Alicia is a great writer, so I asked her to come on over to Psych Central to write for us. After some discussion, it became clear that she’s very interested in the intersection of mental health and celebrities, because celebrities have the ability to reach an audience who ordinarily might not even think about (or recognize the legitimacy of) mental health concerns. While we&#8217...

But then, you ladies won. You two know how drop me a line, so please so as soon as possible and give me your shipping addresses. Both of you each won one “Take The Test” HPV Awareness Bracelet. Once again, thanks so much to The HPV Test who provided this blog and blogger with the give-away stuff (thru Anna Brew, thanks Anna). One more contest coming soon, c/o The HPV Test. Thanks a lot to those who participated. Let us continue to spread the word on t...

The show also received unspecified funding from Lilly. This was reported in Slate and quickly developed into a mud-slinging ruckus - and put NPR on the defensive. We twice rang NPR ombudswoman Alicia Shepard, but she never replied. She has, however, posted an essay on the NPR site and points out that the program should have disclosed some connections. Beyond chastising NPR for failing to list ‘The Infinite Mind’ as an independently p...

There are, of course, a bunch of books on the market. Maybe not quite as many as I'd expected though. (Perhaps T1 parents turn to the web for support these days?) Anyway, there were some clear favorites amongst readers. But be prepared. To get to the good stuff, you will have to sift through tons of Diabetes Cured-Overnight!-style "self-help" manuals.A current bestseller seems to be The Everything Parent's Guide to Children with Juvenile Diabetes by Moira McCarthy and Jake Kushner. Bonus: it's part of the "Everything Guide" series of books, so it's packed with info, yet reasonabl...

It is so different than I thought. I am the new official owner of a new pair of small lemons. Why lemons you ask? Because they look like the implants were put in sideways. Beggars can't be choosy.....right? It takes six weeks to really see what is going on. They had to take scar tissue out and stitch from the inside. It feels sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better with that sob tissue expander out. It still feels like I have foreign objects sewn onto my body but this time I took my medication for pain.
