Here are the facts. A good friend of mine has been divorced and has lived by himself since 1998. Since 1998 he has had the same ROUTINE EVERY Friday and Saturday Evening. Every Friday Evening he spends a couple of hours in the local laundermat, Every Saturday Evening he takes a bag full of bread and crackers walks down to the local park and feeds the ducks! Based on my DIRCT OBSERVATION of my friends behavior; Riddle me this: (1) What reasonable conclusions can be reached about the state of my friends SOCIAL LIFE? (2) The state of my friends MENTAL HEALTH? (3) Would it be INACCUARATE to say that my friend likes to wear clean underware and that he does not like to see ducks go hungry?
I had my first interview on Thursday for a Mental Health Rehabilitation program. It is an excellent opportunity and i don’t want to blow it. I was called that same day for a second interview on Monday ( they only interviewed candidates for 2 days). What are my chances of getting this job? Does a second interview mean i got the position?
My friends and I are in charge of organizing a mental health and eating disorders awareness week at our high school. We are trying to come up with ideas to get students interested and educated on the stuff we’re focusing on (EDs, self harm, suicide, self-esteem, etc.)
Do you have any suggestions? We are going to have things like petitions and a No-Diet Day, as well as information on resources, but I’m looking for interactive ways to get the school engaged. Thanks!
I find it so hard to fight my depression and I feel like I don’t know who I am or where I am going and I need to seek mental health, but I have 2 school age kids and I don’t want to be sent away from them-does anyone know what the routine would be if I went to a mental health facility?
I am a huge night owl. I have something called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome; I diagnosed myself by reading the symptoms off the internet, I’m not a doctor. It’s a disorder where the person cannot fall asleep before 2 am, like I stay up until like 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning, and really have a hard time getting up in the morning, on my days off, I sometimes don’t get up until 2:00 in the afternoon–so what I’m doing is very very wrong. The good news is that this disorder doesn’t cause me to be late for work or school–I can still get up early when necessary, the only downside is that I lose sleep. You see, I can’t get up early for no reason, but I would like to, hoping that it will improve my mood. My friend says that he gets up early because “he feels like it.” I wanna be that way without feeling weird or tired. My biological clock isn’t normal, which makes me a worthless piece of crap to society, and I would like to change it. I would like to have fixed sleep hours where I go to bed at midnight and get up at 8:00am everyday, so I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to reach my goal in a short period of time. I want to get into this new habit like really fast, like within the next 48 hours or else I’ll lose my mind and get really p*$$ed at myself. Anything I can do to jump start my new habit here? Cause I kept hearing how overtime that having set sleep hours improves mental health? Is this true, I really wanna get better, like fast!! Any suggestions are cool, thanks.
