Question by Cathy: Depression, I need help. What should i do ?
I am 14. I have been feeling depressed & sad lately. For the past two months. Only my best friend knows about this. I tell her everything, cause i trust her. & i know she wont tell anyone. I have cut myself before. Actually i did it two nights ago for the first time. Though i see now that there is no point of cutting anymore, cause even though it does help to let my feelings out. I see that i should just write it out. Cause there is a very big risk of my family & other people finding out. Though today i found out that my family has a history of having “Clinical Depression”. Since i found that out i looked up the symptoms of Clinical Depression. I found that i have many of the symptoms. It says that teens have Clinical Depression often also. Here are the symptoms I have…
difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
fatigue and decreased energy
feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings
thoughts of suicide,
a sudden switch from being very sad to being very calm or appearing to be happy
saying things like “It would be better if I wasn’t here” or “I want out”
deep sadness, loss of interest, trouble sleeping and eating

What is Addiction and What You Can Do About It?

In my over ten years of working in the field of trauma and addiction recovery, I see addiction as a multi-dimensional condition touching all aspects of an individual’s life.  Their biology, their psychology, their social network, their educational and vocational aspirations, as well as the spiritual dimension of their existence.  I see it has its genesis in the DNA of the individual, predisposing them to its development under certain inter-related psychologial and environmental conditions.  I see it being related to chronic trauma related stress, and the absence of stable and nurturing relationships, particularly but not exclusively with primary loved ones early in life.  I see it being related to the absence of a role model or guide to help navigate them through internal responses to a stressing and troubling situation or environment, and being guided to do so with non-harming strategies.  I see the straining and isolating nature of these experiences sending messages to the brain that lead to the development of psychological and physical pain, as the two are inter-related, as well as to the human need to cope with that pain.  On one level, I see addiction as a conditioned adaptation to unbareable pain that stems from chronically unmet needs.  

Question by mmmk92: What evidence is there that being gay is inborn??
ARGUMENT #1-A: Simon LeVay And the Hypothalamus
DISPROVEN 17% OF LEVAY’S FINDINGS CONTRADICT HIS OWN CLAIMS.

ARGUMENT #1-B: Twins BY BAILEY&PILLARD
DISPROVEN.First, Pillard and Bailey’s findings actually indicate that something besides genes must account for homosexuality. If 48% of identical twins, who are closely linked genetically, do NOT share the same sexual orientation, then genetics alone CANNOT account for homosexuality
, all of the twins Pillard and Bailey studied were raised in the same household.

ARGUMENT #1-C: Genes
is illogical in that it assumes inborn means normal or morally acceptable.That assumption is faulty, for 2 reasons:
First, “inborn” and “normal” are not necessarily the same
Second, inborn tendencies towards certain behaviors (like homosexuality) do not make those behaviors moral. They have also found that obesity, violence, alcoholism and adultery are found to be inborn from parents.Surely we’re not going to say they are legitimate?
TO RAQUEL WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE THAT BEING HETEROSEXUAL IS INBORN.

A Cure for Panic Attacks? What Does Not Work

Copyright (c) 2010 Peter Rubel

If there is a magic bullet to cure panic attacks for you, and certainly there are ways to overcome panic, finding out what works for a given individual may take a little work. Along the way, it may help to know what does NOT work.

I. Avoiding what makes you feel anxious

People with significant anxiety and panic attacks commonly avoid things. Of course there are things one ought to avoid like actual danger or low priority things that distract from higher priority ones. But here we are talking about avoiding normal life events and circumstances like going out in public or various responsibilities.
