As the Economy Suffers So Do Our Emotions

By Julie July 8, 2008 12:15pm 7 Comments

JulieC

We're living in hard times and I'm worried. Not only about rising cost of gas and food, but the anxiety and depression that often accompanies intense financial pressure.

I live in a suburb of Los Angeles which means that I drive approximately 45 minutes in heavy traffic to work every day. Each morning I either breathe a sigh of …

How a Nagging Mother can Improve Your Mental Health!

By Julie June 30, 2008 10:16am 15 Comments

JulieC

When I was a teenager I used to hide from my mother. From my 15 year old perspective, my mother was no fun to be around and if she managed to capture my attention for more than a minute it was usually to unload a list of undone chores which I would avoid doing as long as humanly possible or until my allowance was held as ransom, whichever came …

CSR

We have a wonderful feature here on DS that allows a member to create goals. It's great that people enjoy setting and tracking their goals and we have seen evidence of that here. For many years I have worked with individuals to help them achieve their goals using Solution Focused Therapy, a well-researched and effective type of therapy to which I …

July Entry!

Thursday, July 24, 2008

It's been a good while since I have wrote in my journal and although I have been soul searching and trying to find the meaning of life etc.. I think a book I am reading called "A purpose driving life" by Rick Warren, has really gave me some insight on it. I am a devoted christian and try to live up to it , to the best of my ability. I may slide every now and then but nob...

Exhausted

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Okay so today I think I'm hitting a lower point, one that I was concerned would come after hitting an optimistic peak earlier in the week. The problem, I think, is some unacknowledged (up to this moment, at least) anger combined with exhaustion. This week has been a grinder, no doubt, and I'm feeling it pretty deeply at the moment. Who do I really take that to? No one, that's the issu...

Thursday, July 24, 2008 | A Rambling story

I am so nervous about tommorrow I dont know If I can handle going back to the partial hospitalization program. I understand that people relapse and that Its good to catch it before it happens but I really dont know If I can do this. Today was a big pain in the ass for me. I had to do an over the phone application for disability and it took almost twenty minutes but I got through it. Also my house...

Thursday Weigh in

Thursday, July 24, 2008

I am a little disappointed this morning. I worked super hard this week to watch what I ate. I have felt bloated and yucky all week though, not sure why. I stepped on the scale and there was no weight gain and no weight loss.
This is what really gets me discouraged. I work really hard all week and see nothing.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

went to the gym this morning, I only did the elliptical for 15 mins. I didn't leave my apartment fast enough and instead prepared veggies for lunch. I also didn't want to workout longer so I could dry my hair after my shower and I wouldn't go to work with wet hair.

I don't even know how I am feeling right now so I'm going to just type and see what comes out. I'm feeling happy. I have accomplished a lot this week. I'm dealing with a lot. I haven't talked to him officially in a week. It is hard because I don't know what to think or do. I feel actually okay. I found out my ex is going back into ...

Career Changes Information

This community is dedicated to the difficult challenges of transitioning from one career or job to a new career in a different field. Especially as we grow older, it can be very difficult to acquire the skills and relationships and take the financial risk to make the transition to another career.

A worker may devote 10-20 years of his/her life to one career and then switch to a related career or an entirely new one. As life-expectancy increases, as retirement benefits decrease, and as educational opportunities expand - workers may increasingly find themselves forced to fulfill the goals of one career and then adopt another. Some view this as an opportunity to expand meaning and purpose into later life, while others see this trend as an unfortunate economic and social reality.
