Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Symptoms of PTSD fall into three main categories: . . .
. . . 2. Avoidance
•Emotional "numbing," or feeling as though you don't care about anything
•Feeling detached
•Being unable to remember important aspects of the trauma
•Having a lack of interest in normal activities
•Showing less of your moods
•Avoiding places, people, or thoughts that remind you of the event
On May 3, 2011 I was admitted into the hospital via the ER. The lower abdominal pain was becoming increasingly worse. I acquiesced to a transvaginal ultrasound because my new GYN (whom I met over a bottle of champagne at a school fundraiser) emphatically impressed upon me: "you can't go on like this...we have to do something."
The procedure inflamed an onslaught of unrelenting, double-me-over-pain. I was told (as distinguished from "asked") to go to the ER. An exploratory laparoscopy was needed...STAT... BTW, what are your current markers? That was May 3rd.
At 8 p.m. on May 7, I began refusing pain meds.
At 11 p.m. on May 7 I asked my night nurse to inform the gall bladder specialist that I would not be doing the procedure scheduled for the next morning.
At 6:30 a.m. on May 8 I text messaged my husband and asked if he would mind not going to the Navajo Nation that morning, and to come and pick me up.
At 7 a.m. on May 8 my day nurse asked what had changed that I was insisting on being discharged.
At 7:-08 a.m I informed her that: I have been off pain meds long enough to think.
By 12:30 p.m. on May 8, 2011 the attending physician agreed with my decision to be discharged.
Treatment for depression become easy if you obey the following rule:-
ReplyDeleteRegular exercise is a powerful depression fighter. Not only does it boost serotonin, endorphins, and other feel-good brain chemicals, it triggers the growth of new brain cells and connections, just like antidepressants do. Best of all, you don’t have to train for a marathon in order to reap the benefits. Even a half-hour daily walk can make a big difference. For maximum results, aim for 30 to 60 minutes of activity on most days.

Great blogging tips. Have more trouble managing my blog than I do with writing blog posts. This helps out immensely. The hole on the carpenter bee trap mimics the entrance of a carpenter bee nest. No bait or poison is needed. These carpenter bee traps have been extensively tested and is proven to work. After being trapped, carpenter bees will release a pheromone to attract more carpenter bees into the trap. The long-term carpenter bee solution youve been looking for!
