Only it was one of them fancypants beepers with the tubes and the buttons and the accompanying not-making-insulin pancreas. I reckon it was an insulin pump. Immediately, I wanted to swing mine over my head like a lasso and say “OMG la...

I needed a reminder of them, and I thought maybe you could use one too. 1. Walk Away Know your triggers. If a conversation about global warming, consumerism, or the trash crisis in the U.S. is overwhelming you, simply excuse yourself. If you’re noise-sensitive and the scene at Toys-R-Us makes you want to throw whistling Elmo and his buddies across the store, tell your kids you need a time-out. (Bring along your husband or a friend so you can leave them safely, if need be.) My great-aunt Gigi knew her trigger points, and if a conversation or setting was getting close to them, she sim...

The antibiotics have certainly taken the edge off the illness by putting a halt to the secondary bacterial infection that was starting, and took the pain away that was developing in my chest, but I was left I think with a lingering case of viral bronchitis that wasn't going anywhere fast.Realising that modern medicine didn't have much to offer me I looked into some natural remedies and then went out and bough a big bag of licorice and a bottle of cinnamon leaf oil. Not sure how much effect the licorice has, but I have been surprised at the almost instant relief to my symptoms and also lift to my mood that I experienced from just a drop of cinnamon leaf oil (not to be placed on the skin or tak...

L, who you see comment on here frequently. I’m worn out. The reason I haven’t posted since Friday is that I’ve been at the Ontario AIDS Network’s Leadership Alumni conference (meetings? I’m not sure what to call it). This program had been developed a few years ago to replace for format for getting people with HIV together provincially that wasn’t working out to well. My first visit in 2005 everyone was still trying to approve minutes that weren’t even from that year. Needless to say it was very nice to come to this new body and see so many people engaged with so much enthusiasm. The evening prior I was asked to speak on during the segment on the HIV stigma campaign in which I participated. And usually I went up to the mic on a wing and... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2298727 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:43:26 +0100 2298727 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2272035&cid=t_207470_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F03%2F16%2F12-depression-busters%2F The following piece is the most popular Beyond Blue post I have written. Click here for the gallery version. My therapist helped me to build a personalized “toolbox”: a list of a dozen depression busters to direct me toward mental health, and an emergency lifeline in case I get lost along the way. I consult these 12 techniques when I panic, when I get pulled into addictive behaviors, and as armor in my ongoing war against negative thoughts. Here they are: twelve strategies to take us all to the promised land of recovery from depression. 1. Get Some Buddies It works for Girl Scouts, depressives, and addicts of all kinds. I remember having to wake up my buddy to go pee in the middle of the night at Girl Scout camp. That was right before she rolled off her cot, out of the tent and...

More hours on that bloody couch than I’ve spent in the shower, brushing my teeth, or on the phone with telemarketers, because let’s face it, when I’m home, there really are no decision makers at my house. If I calculate one hour a week for 12 years, that’s 600 hours, which is 25 DAYS. What do I have to show for it? Lots of wisdom and advice. Journals and journals of it. But for your sake, I’ll just list 12. And after you get done reading my shrink insights, I want you to tell me yours, because I’m compiling such pearls for a writing project. 1. Know your triggers. From the first year of therapy: know your triggers. If a conversation about global warming, consumerism, or the trash crisis in the U.S. is overwhelming yo...
