What Are the Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder?

What Are the Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder?
By Nancy Schimelpfening
Updated September 01, 2011

Question: What Are the Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder?

Answer: Millions of people suffer from a biologically based depression during the winter months called seasonal affective disorder. Although these people may feel fine or even "better than normal" during the spring and summer, late fall and winter are an entirely different experience. Beyond depressed mood, seasonal affective disorder - or SAD - often brings a loss of interest or pleasure in everyday activities that are normally satisfying, such reading a good book or listening to music. Other common problems are a significant reduction in work productivity (or immense effort to get tasks done), and withdrawal from friends and family that is hard to explain or justify.

Some of the symptoms of SAD are very physical. Appetite often changes in marked contrast to spring and summer. People can experience uncontrollable cravings for sweet and starchy foods such as cookies, chocolate, pasta and bread, which causes them to put on a few pounds (or more). Dieting seems out of the question. Some notice marked changes in their need for sleep or ability to sleep normal hours. It can become tough to wake up in the morning in time for work or school, and daytime fatigue persists no matter how much sleep they get at night. Indeed, people who sleep the most often also report the most fatigue: long sleep is just not restorative. As the days grow shorter in fall, it is the physical symptoms of SAD - appetite, sleep, and daytime fatigue - that are usually the first to be noticed. The symptoms of depression then intensify (January and February are usually worst) and can lead to truly devastating, unjustified feelings of worthlessness or guilt, loss of concentration, inability to make decisions, and even thoughts of death.

A nonprofit professional agency, the Center for Environmental Therapeutics, offers a self-assessment questionnaire you can download from its web site. You can us this questionnaire, the Personal Inventory for Depression and SAD (PIDS), to help you decide if you should seek professional advice.

------------------
biologically:生物学的に

craving:切望、熱望

 starchy:でんぷん質の

 restorative:回復の、復旧の

devastating:破壊的な、壊滅的な

guilt:犯罪、あやまち

How to Make Your Dreams Come True

How to Make Your Dreams Come True
Edited by Michael Igioh, Puddy, Maluniu, Krystle and 20 others

It has been said that whatever you can dream of, you can achieve.There is no greater time than now to begin to live your dreams. Your dreams are achievable if you will put in the effort needed to make it work. Your mind is such that it can only conceive what it can achieve, whatever the dream is your mind believes it can achieve it, but you have to agree with your mind that you can achieve it, so that when you are in agreement you can work together to achieve your dreams.
---------------------------------
1.Be specific about your dream. The first thing you need to do is to be specific about your dream, at least the one you want to work on now, the way to be very specific about your dreams is to write them in your dream journal
---------------------------------
2.Turn your dream into a burning desire. You will need to turn your dream into a burning desire in your heart. A strong will to achieve your dreams boosts self-confidence and will aid you in pulling through some of the worst stages of life. The way to turn your dream into a burning desire is to believe that your dream is achievable and that you can achieve it.
Once it has become a burning desire you are no longer to refer to it as a dream, because the very nature of a dream gives the impression that it is not real.

His long suffering wife Margrat played by Annette Crosbie struggles to cope with her husbands rants against the world and the bad luck that befalls them.

MLK: A Day of Conscience


 
On April 5, 1968, the New York Times described three ways people saw Martin Luther King Jr. in his obituary. 

"To many million of American Negroes," wrote Murray Schumach," the civil rights leader was "the prophet of their crusade for racial equality." 

For millions of white Americans, he was a "bridge of communication between races." 

And for the world, Dr. King was the "winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a man with access to the White House and the Vatican; a veritable hero in the African states that were just emerging from colonialism."

 Join us on Martin Luther King Day to honor a hero who brought different people together with his dream for equality.

When you're down and troubled

Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud

And take your soul if you let them

A role model

A role model is a person who serves as an example, or whose behavior is emulated by others. The term first appeared in Robert K. Merton's socialization research of medical students.[1] Merton hypothesized that individuals compare themselves with reference groups of people who occupy the social role to which the individual aspires.[1]

Fashion

Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion refers to a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses or to prevailing styles in behaviour. Fashion also refers to the newest creations of textile designers.[1] The more technical term costume has become so linked to the term "fashion" that the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" means clothing more generally, including the study of it. Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.[2][3]

The open-ended nature of social networks add to this. Once signed onto a social network, having answered a few basic profile questions, it is easy to sit back and wonder what you are supposed to do next.

The easiest way to understand social networking is to think of it like high school. You had friends in school, and you knew quite a few people even if you weren't friends with all of them, but it's likely that you didn't know everyone.

If you ever moved to a new school -- or if you can imagine moving to a new school -- you start out with no friends. After attending classes, you start meeting people, and as you meet them, you begin associating with those that have similar interests.

Getting started with social networking is much the same as starting at a new school. At first, you don't have any friends. But as you join groups, you begin to meet people, and you build a friends list of those with similar interests.

How to Have a Great Conversation #1

Ask questions so that the other person can talk about himself or herself.

"What do you like to do?" 

"What sort of things have you done in your life?" 

"What is happening to you now?"

 "What did you do today or last weekend?" 

Identify things about them that you might be interested in hearing about, and politely ask questions. 
People love having a chance to discuss their passions or their subjects of expertise.

Ask questions for clarification. If your conversation partner is talking about an occupation or activity you do not understand, take the opportunity to learn more.


Make sure that your interest appears genuine. 

Maintain eye contact and nod your head or interject comments like, "That's interesting."

Use open-ended questions. 

Skip the simple "yes" or "no" questions. 

Instead, ask a question that will allow your partner to talk extensively. 

"So you love to go hang gliding. What made you get into it in the first place?"

Start superficial. 

Ask more generic questions at first. 

Then, gauge your partner's comfort level. 

If your partner seems willing to open up, then you can ask some more personal questions.

How to Stop a Dog from Digging

How to Stop a Dog from Digging

Click Here to stop your dog digging now!Having a dog that digs up your precious garden or one that digs a hole to escape can be a big problem if not dealt with. In order to find out how to stop a dog from digging, you must first figure out why your dog is digging, and then will you be able to find a solution to the problem.

Some dogs were born with a natural instinct to dig such as terriers while for others, digging just becomes something that they decide to do for many various reasons and in this article we will be discussing the causes and solutions so that you will understand how to stop a dog from digging.

When dogs get bored, they dig:

When dogs are left unattended outside for a long period of time they become bored and lonely, therefore dogs like to dig to entertain themselves and also because it physically feels good to them and they enjoy it.

Solution: Spend lots of time with your dog, take your dog for walks or runs, play sports and games with them such as catching a ball or Frisbee, or give them some challenging things to do to keep themselves occupied like leaving outside various toys and treats such as food cubes or Kong’s which you can fill with treats and your dog must roll the toys around and manipulate the toys to get out the treats. This keeps your dog physically and mentally stimulated and with lots of exercise your dog will be too tired to even bother digging. You can also set out some time each day to teach your dog new tricks and practice them each day.

Separation anxiety in dogs

Separation anxiety in dogs

Separation anxiety in dogs is a problem that can happen to any dog, no matter what age or breed and is a common reason why many dogs end up being given away or ending up in animal shelters.

What is separation anxiety in dogs?

Separation anxiety in dogs is a disorder where your dog will be very clingy to you and needs to always be by your side or very close to you even when sleeping. Being absent away from your dog makes your dog do many frantic things including destroying everything that it can! This is a major problem that you would want to have fixed as soon as possible.

What are the signs of separation anxiety?

Separation anxiety in dogs can be very obvious if your dog is always keeping close to you and by your side anywhere you go in the house and once you have left, within several minutes your dog is causing destruction in the house. If your dog is comfortable not having you around all the time and doesn’t mind you being in different rooms of the house and can sleep soundly away from you at night then your dog does not have separation anxiety.
