Women Personality and Mental Health

Response to the challenges and problems of life which in turns determines the success we navigate this life. Yeah, right. Living people are always overwhelmed with problems. Just when the baby is born crying. Whether anyone knows why the baby was crying. But clearly, people said, the baby was crying because he was (as if) to know that when she was born into the world, he must be ready to face any problem. Although in this case the baby is still dependent on parents. Living people crying because a lot of problems, but the dead are just silent, lying rigid, perhaps with a smile, or fear, or surprise. Depending on how he died. But if someone died, he was the one who actually mourned. It seems people live just weep or cry. Between active and passive. People who are still alive must be active, but the dead must be passive because he could not do anything.

God created man with free will. Free human choices. Therefore, frequent expression of life is a choice. In the face of everything people are always faced with the choice. Not just one, two, but maybe a lot. While humans may have to decide one of the most good. That decision will affect the next life step. We did not get to choose what was born as (mean male or female). But we have a choice for the future: would be like if ourselves? Men who mediocrity or a great man. Women who are mediocre or great lady? Read more!

There are people in the world who don???t realize about their own condition. They always think that they are okay although other people around them say that they have changed and sometimes act like someone else. Actually they hide themselves and avoid admitting that they have problem. It is because they want to run away from their problem and they don???t want to face it. It is not good for them and other people around them. They may get depressed easily if they continue avoiding solving their problem.

Symptoms of depression are quite clear and visible. If people start getting anxious without any reasons and their mood keep changing every now and then, they may have already got depressed. They may need a therapy to give them courage to face their problem and solve it. Read more!

A bad boss or thoughtless friend can sap your energy. Take charge with these mend ‘em or end ‘em strategies.

A few years ago, I landed the job of my dreams. But just days after I started, my boss began making jokes at my expense; soon she was brutally shooting down my ideas and undermining my authority. Every morning, I swore that this would be the day I’d turn things around, but each evening I’d leave exhausted and discouraged.

“This is the classic toxic scenario,” says Lillian Glass, Ph.D., author of Toxic People: 10 Ways of Dealing With People Who Make Your Life Miserable. Read more!

If you’re tired of trudging through the day in a fatigue-induced fog, take heart! Here are 14 tips to help you get the shuteye you need and deserve.
Can’t sleep? You’re not alone. Forty-seven percent of adults would like to improve the quality of their sleep, and 37 percent feel that they do not get enough rest, according to a recent survey conducted by the Better Sleep Council (BSC).

Part of the reason that sleep seems so elusive is the demands of the workday world. Back-to-back meetings, heavy meals, and high doses of caffeine from 9 to 5 all can make it more diffiicult to get that restorative shuteye. Read more!

Everyone has stressful days, weeks, even months. But according to the American Institute of Stress, for 43 percent of adults, stress is so severe that it causes physical and mental problems (it’s been linked to heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, obesity and hypertension). Many women feel particularly stressed because they’ve got so many responsibilities: caring for kids while juggling a job and personal commitments. But how do you distinguish normal, everyday stress from the kind that can actually make you sick?

Mankind has been pondering its origins since the beginning of time. Why are we here? How did it all begin?
If we could go back to the beginning of time, what would we see? There are two different sides debating the beginning of the universe, science and religion.

Science would have us believe that due to natural selection and pure dumb luck, everything fell into perfect place for life to begin. The odds of this happening are so great that it would take several massive hard drives to hold all the zeros, but since it is not mathematically impossible, we will not dismiss it.

Do you have moments when being a ‘nice’ parent just seems impossible? For example, your toddler is still running around the house, refusing to sleep and it’s already 11pm. Or when you’re tired and they decide to reward you with more whining and a temper tantrum? And how about times when you are late and they still prefer to move at a snail’s pace?
‘Monster Parent’ moments are when your anger gets the better of you. You scream and yell, maybe even hit or hurl abusive words at your children. You look at your children with daggers coming out of your eyes and your idea of discipline at that moment is to inflict pain and hurt.

I would dare say that having occasional ‘Monster Parent’ moments are quite common among parents. After all, we are only humans and we have good days and bad days. But beware that these occasional ‘Monster Parent’ moments do not become too frequent. Read more!

The primary struggle for those with bipolar disorder is with mood regulation. Read more!

Especially in primarily Christian countries, most of us grow up with the idea that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and that’s all there is to it. But in fact, this is far from being the full story.
Indeed, the modern festival we celebrate under the name ‘Christmas’ has it’s roots in three festivals, two of which dating back to well before the birth of Jesus Christ. These festivals, and many of the traditions and customs pertinent to each, have become entwined and have evolved to the point where they have mingled together as part and parcel of one big festival.

One of those festivals is of Roman origin, Saturnalia, which was named after the Roman god Saturn. During Saturnalia, people gave gifts to one another – a tradition that has endured to this very day. Read more!

In 1997, 22 year old Heidi Gunther died of a heart attack during a vacation trip with her family. She was at the time a ballet dancer for the Boston Ballet. Heidi suffered from an eating disorder called Anorexia Nervosa.

Anorexia is a life threatening psychological condition where a person believes he or she is too obese, never thin enough, resulting in self starvation and excessive exercising to the point of malnutrition. This condition seems to be more prevalent among teenage girls and young women but not exclusively. Cases have also been found among men, young children, and even some women as old as sixty. It is characterized by extremely low body weight, and a distorted sense of self perception.

The most common eating disorders are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia. Eating Disorders are not solely disorders of eating. They are often described as an outwared expression of internal emotional pain and confusion, which is disruptive to your physical and emotional well-being. Although eating disorders are on the increase, we still know very little about their causes.

Individuals with eating disorders are obsessed with food, body image and weight loss. Eating disorders are more prominent in women, but male eating disorders are more common than many think. It may be harder for men and people of color to acknowledge or get help, because eating disorders are often seen as a “white woman’s” issue. Eating disorders are much easier to prevent than cure, and parents are in the best position to do that work. Read more!

Human beings are like the reed that grows at the water’s edge. We bend in whichever direction the favorable winds blow. Yet, throughout the history of mankind, God has chosen men of “reed”, broken them, and shaped them into men of “rock”.

Two very prominent instances come to mind. One was Simon Peter.
When Simon first encountered Jesus, on the shores of Lake Galilee, he was a struggling fisherman. When the Lord asked him to cast his nets in deeper waters for a catch, the “reed” in him had his doubts, but he did as he was told. His obedience was rewarded with abundance of fish, and when called to be a “fisher of men”, Simon left everything behind to follow Jesus.

Massage therapy has been around for a long time. Ancient cultures in China, Egypt, India, Greece and Rome used massage as part of their medical and health procedures.
Massage has been used to treat all kinds of medical conditions and disorders. Massage can be used to treat stress, it can help you relax and it generally promotes a feeling of well being. Massage therapy works to help all aspects of the physical system – the muscular, nervous, circulatory and immune systems.

Quite apart from the undoubted physical benefits of massage therapy, much of the benefit is psychological; it has to do with the feel-good factor of intimate contact with another human being. Read more!

Autism, or Autistic Spectrum Disorder, is a developmental disorder that affects the way a person communicates with and relates to the people around them. It is usually first noticed when a child reaches the age of about three and is basically identified by considering the ‘triad of impairments’. These are three areas of difficulty for the autistic person and are social relationships, communication, and imagination and planning.

The autistic person may appear aloof and indifferent to those around them. They may be sociable with one person, but unable to function in a group. Communication difficulties include no understanding or use of verbal or non-verbal communication. A common characteristic is an unwillingness to look people in the eye. Impairment of imagination may lead to limited, repetitive play, copying others or problems discerning between fact and fantasy. Read more!
