Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 ine, do you take naps during the day? Could you be napping too much in the day time? Do you drink alot of caffeine drinks or eat much chocolate? If one drinks too much coffee, colas, or iced tea, or eats too much chocolate -- all this caffeine messes up your metabolic system and your endorphins, etc. This could cause you to sleep badly at night. Just a thought. Love, PJ shreiman@... wrote:Well, I didn't sleep last night again. Just part of my condition.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 ine, this is excellent!! This is exactly what will help beat depression, and or anxiety. Keeping busy, giving service to others helps get our minds off of ourselves. Also, taking good care of yourself -- dressing nice, using makeup, etc. It is very easy to let ourselves go physically when we are depressed or down. It is easy to not wash our hair, not wear makeup, wear sloppy clothes, etc. when we aren't feeling good about ourselves. But, if we overcome that tendency to be lazy, and clean ourselves up, dress nicely, and wear some makeup (even if only lipgloss or mascara), then we will feel better about ourselves, and we will look better as well. Good comment, ine. Hugs, PJ shreiman@... wrote:I find the more I get out the more it helps my depression. Put on makeup, dress nicer. Clean your apartment or house. Do something nice for someone.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 ine, Nola, I understand a person's desire to have a pet. I have several dogs & even though they are a lot of work & responsibility, they are what has kept me grounded these last few months---heck, years!. The days that it's all I could do to get out of bed, because of them, I need to and I do. They rely on me--- & love me unconditionally. So while you bide your time until you are able to bring a 4-legged companion into your life, the second best thing might be to volunteer your time at a shelter or with a rescue organization. It's often hard, sometimes hardbreaking, but oh, so rewarding, to connect with a being that sometimes has every good reason to distrust mankind, but still has the capacity to love. I often think that humans can stand to learn a lesson or two here. Just something to consider. Vicky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Vicky, what a good suggestion! I have also done some volunteer work with animal shelters (with dogs, as they are my favorite), but it is very fulfilling, and very eye-opening to see all that goes on. I truly believe that dogs give that unconditional love that Christ gave, and that we humans so rarely feel that unconditional love in this life. To me, dogs are so wonderful because I can just be myself with them, warts, blemishes and all. And they love me 100% no matter what! Especially this time of year the shelters can use some help, before and definitely the month or two after Christmas. Because well-meaning people adopt a dog or cat, and then after awhile decide it is too much effort or too much money, or whatever. To me it is so sad to see animals brought back to the pound after they were adopted. Thanks Vicky for sharing such a neat thought! Also, I used to find that it was worth " working " to get that rent house so that I could get a dog as a pet. Once when I hadn't been married but about 4 years or so, we had to move into an apartment for awhile, and our puppy was okay there. But, then she grew over the size pound limit for animals in this particular apartment complex, and it really broke our hearts when we had to find another home for Ginger. We can still remember vividly Ginger on top of the backseat by the back window looking at us so sadly as the lady who adopted her drove off. Fortunately, Ginger was to grow even more, and this lady lived on a farm and Ginger followed her everywhere! Ginger had acres and acres to roam and play, and was very happy. However, I don't think my husband or I ever completely forgave ourselves for getting in that situation in the first place. Since then, we have done many animal rescues ourselves, and I much prefer to be on that side of the story!! Hugs, PJ ptnme2@... wrote:ine, Nola, I understand a person's desire to have a pet.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 check out the autism Society of America web site www.autism-society.org This was a list I got from my school district. Keep in mind not all autistic have all the signs. Each child is different. The district told me if your child exhibits 7 or more signs (age inappropriate) then you need to get an eval done. Resists normal teaching methods Inappropriate laughing and giggling lack of speech or impaired speech acts as if deaf no fear of real dangers apparent insensitivity to pain echolalic (repeats words or phrases) spins objects or consentraits on spinning opject not cuddly sustained odd play (does not play with toys correctly) uneven fine/gross motor skills no eye contact standoffish manner difficulty mixing with other children reists change in routine unusual perceptual stimuli (Looking through people) Inappropriate attachments to objects marked physical overactivity or extreme passivity carying tantrums: Extreme distress for no discernible reason My daughter shown 15 of the signs. These are not all of the signs. The autism society can give you some too. I hope this helps Kitty > Hi Everyone > > This was a question posted on another group I belong to.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Sorry I thought you said symptoms. Here is web page listing some of the other syndromes under PDD. Autism is one disorder under Pervasive Developmental disorders, There are others. This page should tell you. SOrry for the confusion.
