Someone who has gone through a divorce in the past year may not be ready for a serious relationship. If you're only looking to date casually yourself, this may not be an issue for you. However, if you're hoping for a more serious romance, make sure the man in question is ready to commit to a romantic relationship.  If someone is recently divorced, they may have hesitations regarding commitment. A divorced man may enjoy your company at first, but become nervous if things get serious. He may be afraid of repeating old patterns or mistakes. Going into the relationship, keep in mind emotional intimacy may be an issue.  Think about what you want out of the relationship. Are you looking for a potential long-term partner? If so, someone with commitment issues may not be the best choice for you. However, if you're at a time in your life that you're uninterested in a serious romance, the question of commitment may not be as important. You may be fine pursuing something casual. When dating a divorced man, the relationship may progress slower than usual. Normal relationship milestones, such as meeting the parents and giving things an official label, may happen at a slower pace. Even amicable divorces are painful, and a divorced man may proceed with hesitance.  Understand what your partner is going through. In addition to the pain of a divorce, there may be added scrutiny from family members. His parents or siblings may, for example, be distrusting of a new partner. It's not uncommon for a divorced man to want to take things slow. Try to be patient during this process. If you really like this person, it will eventually be worth the wait. If you get frustrated, try to think of all the reasons you're continuing with the relationship. Remind yourself why you were initially drawn to this person. Navigating a new romantic relationship is always tough. Divorce, however, adds another layer of complication. Do not go into the relationship with specific expectations of how things will progress. A divorced man may be somewhat...

Someone who is high may speak too much or too quickly, or may have problems speaking. Someone who slurs words but does not smell like alcohol might be high. If the person you are speaking with appears to have difficulty concentrating or following the conversation, or if her thinking is unusually paranoid, deluded, or panicked, she might be high. A high person might react slowly, or might be nonreactive to surrounding people and things. If someone appears not to experience pain, he might be high. Physical coordination that seems to be rapidly deteriorating is a sign of drug use.  Someone moving as if he is drunk, but without the smell of alcohol, is possibly high. A drunk person who seems to be unusually impaired might also have taken drugs or have been drugged. Depending on the drug, a high person might be euphoric, relaxed, anxious and agitated, exhilarated, overconfident, or aggressive. Look for an unusual intensity of mood, or a quickly changing mood. If you know someone well, and she is behaving in an uncharacteristic way, that could be a sign of drug use. Sleeplessness and restlessness can be signs that someone is high, as can drowsiness. If you cannot rouse a "sleepy" person, she might have passed out and need medical attention. If you know someone well, you can tell if he is exhibiting unusually high sociability, lack of inhibition, poor judgment, or an increased or decreased appetite or sex drive. Inappropriate laughter and intense snacking are common signs of marijuana use.  Someone high on a harder drug might hallucinate, seeing or sensing things that are not there. Delirious, psychotic, or violent behavior all might be caused by drug use. Some drugged people appear to have undergone a total personality change.

Someone who’s interested in you won’t wait a week to call you back or reply to your text. Typically, people will show interest by responding quickly when they consider you a priority. They will likely give an answer without hesitation when invited to spend time together. For example, if you invite the person to hang out, they will not hesitate or need time to think about it. They will likely be excited to say yes. Someone who is interested in you may offer to walk you home or to your car to provide protection. Or, they may offer to help you study or give you advice about a work problem. This type of attention shows they consider you a priority and want you to be safe and to succeed. If the person lightly teases you, this is a sign that they’re flirting and interested in you. They might bring up something you previously spoke up and gently tease you about it. Teasing isn’t supposed to be hurtful or make fun of you. It’s meant to be light, funny, and flirty. For example, if you say you’ll be late but you actually end up early, the person might tease you about your concept of time. Perhaps you can’t handle the suspense or want to know outright if the person is interested in you. It’s okay to ask the person questions that may indicate their interest. You can also ask outright if they’re interested.  For example, ask, “Are you single?” If you want to be more forthcoming, say, “I’m interested in you and I hope you feel the same way.” If someone is asking you out on a date, it’s likely they are interested in you. They are showing interest in getting to know you better and spending time with you in a romantic setting. If you’re interested in them, say yes.  Going a date can show each of you whether the interest is mutual and something worth pursuing further. If the person doesn’t specifically ask you out on a date but wants to spend time with you one-on-one, this is still promising.

Someone with factitious disorder may tamper with blood or urine samples, inflict wounds on oneself, or otherwise deceive medical teams with illness. Individuals may have an extended medical history with inconsistent details throughout. The most common physical complaints include belly pain, nausea/vomiting, difficulty breathing, and blacking out. A person may try to purposefully infect a wound, go to crowded places in order to pick up a cold or virus, or increase risk of getting an infection. Other behaviors may include purposefully eating or drinking from containers that a sick person has used. The point of these behaviors is to get sick so the person can receive treatment and medical attention. The individual may complain of persistent problems that are difficult to measure, such as chronic diarrhea or stomach ache. Upon testing or medical examination, no symptoms are found to be present.  Other symptoms difficult to measure may include chest pains or difficulty breathing, and feeling faint or dizzy. The individual may report symptoms only when in the presence of other people. The symptoms may not appear when the person is alone or when nobody is around. The symptoms may also only appear when the person is being observed, either in a medical setting or by family or friends. Ask the person when the symptoms are present. Do the symptoms worsen when near family or friends? Does treatment appear to go well until a family member is present? Also, is the person hesitant to include family in treatment? Those with factitious disorder may appear overly eager to receive medical tests, procedures, or operations. They may request certain tests or insist on being tested for specific disorders or diseases. They may appear happy or gleeful when a medical doctor recommends testing or treatment. Note that people without factitious disorder may feel relief at finally getting help, but this is because they want to get better, not because they enjoy the role of being sick. Someone with factitious disorder may have an extensive...

Sometimes a bad mood is like the weather: it just happens. Other times, a bad mood has a specific cause. Perhaps you are stressed out at work, or perhaps you had a fight with a close friend. Take a few minutes to breathe and think about why it is that you are feeling down: that is the first step to finding a solution to your bad mood. One of the most common reasons for a bad mood is feeling lonely and rejected. Rather than stewing when you feel lonesome, consider reaching out to your friends or family members. Write them a letter, give them a call, or schedule a coffee date. This will help you realize that you are not alone. If you do not have friends or family nearby, consider joining a meetup group to . You can also volunteer or attend classes to meet like-minded people in your neighborhood. Sometimes a bad mood can be caused by receiving a compliment when you do not feel worthy of admiration. To make sure that you admire yourself as much as the rest of the world does, undertake self-affirmation exercises. Write down in a journal your talents, skills, abilities, and positive traits. This will help you see yourself in the positive light that others see you. It isn't always possible to just "snap out" of a bad mood. When you get into a funk and nothing seems to be working, forgive yourself for feeling bad. Understand that everyone experiences these moods sometimes: it is not a reflection of your worth as a person. Studies show that listening to music can help improve moods. When you feel a bad mood coming on, put on your favorite album or find a new artist. Sing and dance along to make yourself feel more positive about the world. If you feel stressed out, consider listening to classical music, Celtic music, or Indian raga music. Listening to these types of music for 30 minutes a day can help lower blood pressure and help you feel healthy and relaxed. One common reason for a bad mood is having too much on your plate, leading to stress and a general feeling of being overwhelmed. To get yourself out of a funk,...

Sometimes a dose of reality will stop nosy questioners. If someone asks you about your marriage plans, it’s in your rights to tell the truth without apologizing or explaining:  ”I really don’t know.” ”I’m not sure I want to.” ”I don’t think I’m ready.” If you’re in a relationship, you may feel like you want to defend it. You can do this without bowing to the pressure of marriage. Think of responses like:  ”We’re still getting to know each other.” ”Our relationship is strong, and we don’t want to rush or put pressure on each other.” ”We’re focusing on other things right now, like getting my business off the ground.” Questions about when you’re getting married can be really invasive. Even if a family member or close friend asks you, feel free to tell them to butt out (nicely!):  ”That’s a pretty personal question. Could you please not ask me about that right now?” "I'd really rather not get into that right now." If you prefer, you can more subtly redirect attention away from the topic of marriage. Avoid directly responding to their question, and ask the person about something else. That way, the conversation will naturally move into different territory. Try a comeback like:  "Eh, lets talk about the holiday plans instead. Are you going to make the pie or the turkey this year?" "Speaking of the timing of things, I just remembered Mariah's graduation is next week. Is she excited?"

Sometimes a localized infection can either mimic trigger finger or actually cause tendon contraction. If the joints or muscles of your finger become red, warm and significantly inflamed over the course of a few hours or days, then seek immediate medical care because these signs indicate a possible infection or allergic reaction to an insect bite. Treatment consists of incision and drainage, warm saltwater soaks and sometimes oral antibiotics.  Bacteria are the most common infections of the hand and usually the result of untreated cuts, puncture wounds or ingrown fingernails. Allergic reactions to insect bites are relatively common, especially to those of bees, wasps and spiders. A dislocated finger joint can sometimes mimic trigger finger because it's also painful and causes the finger to look bent or crooked. Joint dislocations are typically caused by blunt trauma, as opposed to repetitive strain, so they require immediate medical assistance to reset or realign the finger joint. Following realignment, a dislocated finger is treated much the same as trigger finger in terms of rest, anti-inflammatories, ice and splinting.  An X-ray of the hand can readily identify a dislocated or fractured finger. Other health professionals (aside from your family doctor) who can treat a dislocated finger include osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists. Sometimes the cause of an inflamed, contracted finger tendon is due to a bout or flare-up of rheumatoid arthritis or gout. Rheumatoid arthritis is thought to be an autoimmune condition that aggressively attacks the body's joints, and it requires the use of strong prescription anti-inflammatories and immune system suppressors to combat. Gout is an inflammatory condition caused by uric acid crystal deposits in joints (typically in the feet, but also in the hands), which can affect related tendons and lead to contracture.  Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects the hands / wrists and can grossly disfigure the joints with time. Your doctor may send you for a blood test to...

Sometimes a simple reboot will fix the audio issues you are experiencing. This should always be the first thing you try when something goes wrong. If your volume controls are grayed out or you see a red light from your headphone jack, insert and remove an Apple headphone plug a few times. This has been known to fix the issue and restore sound.  Note: This is a sign of failing hardware, and you will likely need to do this more and more often until it fails completely. You'll need to have your Mac serviced to get this problem fixed for good. Some users have reported better success by using Apple brand headphones or earbuds for this procedure. There may be a system or hardware update available that will fix the issues you're having. Click the Apple menu and select "Software Update" to begin looking for and installing any available updates. This will restart the sound controller for the Mac:  Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder. Find the "coreaudiod" process in the list. Click the "Process Name" header to sort the list alphabetically. Click the the "Quit Process" button. After confirming, coreaudiod will be closed and will restart automatically.

Sometimes bad memories can overwhelm our thoughts and make it difficult to focus on what's happening in the present. How much time do you spend thinking about bad memories? Do the memories pop into your mind when you're trying to focus on other things?  Focusing on bad memories, or ruminating, can hurt your problem-solving skills. For example, you may feel helpless in the face of a work-related hurdle instead of tackling the problem head-on. Ruminating can also lead to unhealthy behaviors like binge drinking or other forms of self medication intended to stop the negative thoughts.  Ruminating on bad memories leads to negative thinking patterns associated with depression and anxiety. If your memories are associated with a certain person, you may find it difficult to spend time with him or her without thinking about what happened in the past. Bad memories can interfere with your other relationships, too. Ruminating on the past can make you feel isolated from others. Thinking about bad memories can also inhibit your ability to forge new connections with people. For example, if you are overwhelmed with bad memories about a breakup, you may not feel open to meeting someone new. Everyone thinks about the past to a certain extent, but dwelling there too often can impede your sense of hope for the future. If you spend time reliving experiences that already happened, you have less energy to think about what's happening now, and what will happen next.  Repetitive bad memories, especially traumatic ones, can create a sense of hopelessness and make it difficult to feel optimistic. You may feel that since something bad already happened, it is bound to happen again.  This can affect your ability to take good care of yourself and make plans for your own future. Mindfulness is a practice used to switch focus to the present moment, and research shows it can help relieve anxiety. With mindfulness, you acknowledge the bad memories as they come up, then mindfully choose to switch your focus to the present. In this way you can...

Sometimes conscientious party guests will help you clean up before they leave, but if they do not, you may have a rather large mess on your hands after the party.  Try to clean at least one room before you go to bed, and clean the rest of the house the next day. You might want to thank any guest who attended your party, but you should definitely send a note to anyone who brought you a housewarming gift.  Mailed notes are more formal, but even an email note shows a personal touch.  Be sure to thank them for any gifts and explain how/when you plan to use the gift. Mention a specific moment from the party that you found particularly funny or touching to make the note more personal. Make a suggestion for getting together again in the future to show that you enjoy the person’s company. One of the nice things about hosting a housewarming party is basking in the glow of the idea that everyone loved your new home.  Take some time to enjoy the moment, and enjoy your new home.  Remember that this party is going to be just one of many memories that will take place in the home.

Sometimes costs cannot easily be categorized at variable or fixed. These costs may vary with production, but also are necessary even in the absence of production or sales. These costs are referred to as mixed costs. Mixed costs can be split up into fixed and variable components as part of an effort to accurately measure either type of cost.  An example of a mixed costs is the wage expense for an employee that earns salary plus commissions. The salary is paid even if no sales are made, but commission depends on the sales volume. In this example, the commission is a variable cost and salary is fixed.  Mixed costs can also apply to wage earners if they are guaranteed a fixed number of hours each pay period. Regular hours would be a fixed cost, but any overtime would be variable. In addition, the cost of employee benefits might be recognized as a mixed cost. A somewhat more complicated example is that of utilities costs. Electricity, water, and gas must be paid even if no production occurs. However, they may be used in greater amounts as part of production. Splitting these costs into fixed and variable categories requires a more complex method. In order to split up mixed costs into fixed and variable components, you can use the "high-low" method. This method starts with the mixed costs from the highest and lowest months of production and uses the difference to calculate variable cost proportion. To get started, determine which months experienced the highest and lowest levels of activity (production). Record the activity in a measurable way (like machine-hours) and the mixed cost you want to assess for each month.  For example, imagine that your company cuts metal parts with a water cutter as part of a production process. This requires water as a variable cost that increases with the amount of production. However, you also use have a water expense that arises from running your production facility (for drinking, restrooms, etc.). Your water costs would then be a mixed cost. Say that in this example, in the highest...

Sometimes hostas come from nurseries in bags with bare roots. It’s especially important to soak the roots if that’s the case with your hostas, because it will help prepare the plants for transplanting.   Choose a bucket or bowl that’s slightly smaller than the crown of the hosta. Fill the bucket with cold water. Rest one hosta crown on the rim of the bucket so the roots are soaking in the water below. Repeat for each hosta. Soak the plants for at least an hour before transplanting. If you're not transplanting the hostas immediately, leave them soaking to keep the roots moist. Right before planting, remove the hostas from the buckets and use your hands to gently untangle the roots. Use your fingers to carefully comb the roots so there aren't any tangles, and ensure all the roots are facing the direction they're growing in.  Hostas, especially potted ones, are susceptible to tangled roots. The plants can strangle themselves if you try to plant them in the ground with their roots tangled. For each hosta, dig a hole in your prepared garden bed that’s about 2.5 feet (76 cm) wide and 1 foot (30 cm) deep. Place one hosta in each hole, making sure the roots don’t become bent or tangled. Fill the hole loosely with soil, but do not pack the soil around the roots. Make sure only the roots of the plant are buried, and that the entire crown is above the ground.  Water each plant thoroughly immediately after planting. Leave enough space between the hostas to accommodate for their mature width. This will depend on the variety of hosta you have. If you're not sure, leave about 3 feet (76 cm) of space between the hostas.

Sometimes in relationships, you may feel uncertain about where things truly stand because the other person is either resistant to labeling the relationship or doesn’t consistently differentiate his or her feelings for you from others. This might occur when a man or woman is reluctant to call the other his or her “girlfriend” or “boyfriend” – to others, in front of others and to the other. In cases such as this, there’s a good chance you’re being used. This might also occur when, for example, your “best friend” calls several others her “best friend” as well, causing you to wonder about the true nature of your friendship.  Often this happens because the person is happy with the situation as it is, wants to leave his or her options open, or doesn’t want to lose the benefits of being special to you.  If you find yourself in this situation, ask how the other person defines the relationship and, if applicable, where he or she would like to see the relationship go in the future. If this doesn’t align with what you want, you might consider either severing ties or modifying your expectations of the other person and the relationship. You would be wise to question the motives of another person if you find a) that you typically spend time together when the other person is bored or wants or needs something (like someone to listen as your mother-in-law rants about how little she sees your husband), b) that the time is generally spent alone (like late at night), or c) that it’s time spent to fill a spot (like as a date to an event or as a last-minute bowling partner).  In doing this, the other person’s needs and wishes not only disregard yours but also dictate one of the most fundamental aspects of any relationship – when you see the other person.  If this is the case, you must decide if what you’re getting out of the relationship compensates for this, assuming it upsets you. And you must choose whether or not to discuss your feelings and/or your decision with the other person. Conversely, pay attention to when you’re not...

Sometimes it can help to create a physical tribute to your grandparent by making a memorial. This could be a collection of photographs of your grandparent or a drawing or painting you make of your grandparent and frame. You could then hang it in a special spot in your home or your room so you always remember your grandparent. Take time out of your day to spend some time at your grandparent’s grave. Bring flowers or sentimental items to place at his grave as a form of tribute and acknowledgement. This can also give you the opportunity to “talk” to your grandparent at the grave and share any emotions or feelings you are experiencing. Often, visiting the grave can act as a form of comfort during the grieving process. Another way to create a tribute to your grandparent is to sit down and write a personal letter or story about your grandparent or dedicated to your grandparent. You can then store the letter in a safe place and read it whenever you are feeling sad about her death. Expressing your emotions by writing them down can help you to process your grief and cope with her death. Another way to pay tribute to your grandparent is to keep his memory alive by sharing memories and stories about him with your family. This could be a funny story from his childhood that was relayed to you by another family member or a memory you have of a time you both spent together while he was still alive. You may make this a habit around the grandparent's birthday or on the anniversary of her death to remember her and pay tribute to her. Having a consistent day or days where you remember the grandparent can help with the grieving process.

Sometimes it is hard to motivate ourselves when we're unclear about where we want to go. Make a clear, actionable end goal that you can achieve.  For example, if you're in school, your end goal might be to get into a certain college or to get a specific internship. If you want to own your own company, decide what type of company it will be. Do you want sell a product, consult other firms, or provide services to the community? Be specific with your goal. For example, if you want to travel the world, where do you want to go first? Do you prefer backpacking or would you like to take a cruise? Do you want to see the world all at once or do you want to break it up into several smaller trips? Don't let goals distract you from other important aspects of your life. Make sure you make it clear to yourself how much effort should be going towards each goal you create. Once you know specifically where you want to end up, give yourself smaller benchmarks to achieve along the way. Write down a series of steps that will help you achieve your goal. This makes the goal much more manageable, thus helping you accomplish each task.  For example, if your dream is to own a house, you might have smaller goals to save money, build good credit, apply for a mortgage, and find a home in a certain neighborhood. If you want to quit your job to sell handmade goods online, you might need to set up an online shop, create enough inventory to sell, and advertise your goods. If you know someone who has achieved the same goal before, try to follow their example. Use their story to give you extra motivation to keep going.  A role model can be someone you know in real life, such as a family member, boss, professor, or mentor. It can also be a famous person, such as a business leader or scientist. If you know them personally, ask them what they did to get there. If they're a famous figure, try finding interviews or biographies that can show you the way. You might keep a poster up on your office wall, stick a post-it note to your bathroom mirror,...

Sometimes it is more difficult to deal with someone who doesn’t even seem to know or care you exist, as opposed to someone who seems directly interested in being hurtful.  Take time to think about possible reasons for their seeming indifference toward you.  Modern technology has brought us the dreaded “person-who-never-texts-me-back,” and this version of being ignored can be quite frustrating to some.  Consider, however, whether this thoughtless person may just in fact be very busy with work, family, or something else, or simply not a gung-ho texter like you.  Sometimes, what appears to be indifference is really just the result of a misunderstanding.  Maybe your grandmother doesn’t seem to care about your acting on your dream to become an internet entrepreneur because she has no idea what it is you are doing (and thus how important it is to you), even though you explained it to her. Before turning a blind eye to someone who seems to be doing the same to you, think about ways to resolve the situation favorably for both parties.  Raise your concerns tactfully.  Don’t accuse or blame the person (“You’re a phony,” or “You’re self-centered and inconsiderate”).  Instead, let them know how you feel. For instance, say “I feel unimportant to/ignored by you” or “I’m sad you’re not interested in friendship with me.”  If necessary, however, establish your limits:  “I’m going to stop initiating contact with you.”  The other person may not respond favorably even to a tactful approach; if so, remain calm and reiterate your view, then let things end at that.  Feel secure that you have done what you can. Not caring what someone else thinks (or doesn’t think) about you requires a conscious decision and ongoing effort on your part.  Not caring, however, is not the same thing as being uncaring.  You can stop being concerned about someone’s actions or views without losing your compassion for their well-being as a fellow person.  You’re doing what you need to for the benefit of your own health and well-being, not to harm or punish...

Sometimes journey dreams involve you moving under your own power, such as when you walk, run, or fly. Other journey dreams involve you being moved by a vehicle such as a boat, car, or train. Take a few minutes to consider whether you were moving yourself or whether something else was moving you. Ask yourself whether you were the one in control or whether someone else was in charge of your journey. For example, many flying dreams involve a feeling of confidence, control, and freedom. On the other hand, a dream where you are in the caboose of a train might indicate that you feel behind in life. This can help you decide whether your journey is a positive adventure that you chose or an unpleasant decision that you are forced to make. The state of your vehicle might make a difference to the interpretation of the dream as well. A decrepit vehicle might indicate uncertainty or low self-esteem, for example. Think about whether your mode of transit reminds you of yourself or of anything important in your life. If your pathway is rough and your destination blocked along the way, this is an indicator that something is obstructing your path in life. You may be anxious about not achieving goals in life and you may lack faith in your abilities to get you to your destination. After waking, if you find that the obstacle is still looming large in your memory, you may need to make a change to your life to enable you to move on. If your pathway is clear and smooth, you may feel optimistic about new possibilities ahead. If your path involves a fork or a crossroads, that can mean that you have to face a decision that has several facets. Each probably has good and bad aspects and only you can weigh the consequences to see where the decision might lead you. Ask yourself how you feel about your ultimate destination. Are you excited to get there? Scared? Uncertain? Are you confident in the location of the destination, or is your journey taking you to new and strange territory? Answering these questions can help you interpret how you...

Sometimes lymph nodes swell in reaction to an allergy or a short-lived infection caused by a bacteria or a virus. If that's the case, they'll usually return to normal within a few days. However, if your lymph nodes remain swollen, hard, or sore for more than a week, it's important to see a doctor to determine the cause.  Even if you have no other signs of illness, you should see a doctor if swollen lymph nodes persist. If you have hard, painless, and inflexible lymph nodes that are greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in size, see a doctor as soon as possible. Swollen lymph nodes could be a sign that your body's immune system is fighting off a serious illness. If you experience swollen lymph nodes in conjunction with any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away:  Unexplained weight loss Night sweats Persistent fever Trouble swallowing or breathing While not all symptoms signal a serious illness, letting your doctor know about all of your symptoms will help them diagnose you. Some common symptoms that that often show up alongside swollen lymph nodes include:  Runny nose Fever Sore throat Swelling of several lymph node areas at the same time If you come into your doctor's office with swollen lymph nodes, your doctor will feel the nodes to ensure they are swollen. Then they will need to test you for bacterial and viral infections that could be causing the swelling, either by testing your blood or taking a culture from an area of your body, such as your throat. It's likely you will be tested for the most common illnesses that cause lymph nodes to swell, including common viruses like strep throat. Your doctor will likely assess the health of your immune system overall. The doctor could order a variety of tests, including a general blood analysis, which will gauge your immune system's activity. This will help them determine whether you have an immune system disease, such as lupus or arthritis, that is causing the lymph nodes to swell. Diagnostic tests will allow the doctor to assess how your immune system is functioning,...

Sometimes people aren't necessarily depressed, they're simply going through a difficult time of life. However, if a friend shows signs of depression, you may need to pay close attention to make sure that it doesn't get worse.  Do they exhibit persistent sad, anxious, or empty moods? Do they present feelings of hopelessness or pessimism (nothing will ever get better; life is terrible)? Do they have lots of feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness? Are they fatigued, have decreased energy? Do they have difficulty concentrating on things, remembering things, or making decisions? Have you noticed insomnia, or oversleeping? Have they lost or gained significant weight? Are they restless and irritable? Have they mentioned or talked about thinking about death or suicide? Have they made or talked about making a suicide attempt? This could show by them saying something about how the world world be a better place if they weren't in it. Remember that their pain and feelings of hopelessness and helplessness are real. Validate the fact that they feel these negative feelings and then do your best to turn their attention elsewhere.  Depressed people may respond to distractions. You don't have to make the distraction super obvious. If you're taking a walk, for example, pointing out the beauty of the light on the water, or the color of the sky can turn the conversation. Going over the same negative feelings again and again can actually make things worse, because it encourages a depressed person to remain in that negative place. When someone is depressed they often have difficulty connecting to anyone on an emotional level, because of what they are going through. Taking it personally will mean that they will have a more difficult time reaching out.  A depressed person might lash out by saying something hurtful or angry towards you. Remember that this is the depression not the friend who is saying those things. This doesn't mean that you need to take abuse from them. If your friend is becoming abusive, as well as...

Sometimes scarlet fever may occur with a streptococcal skin infection called impetigo, and not with a sore throat. Impetigo causes redness, bumps, blisters or pus in the skin, usually on the child's face, around the mouth and nose. The characteristic sign that strep has evolved into scarlet fever is a red rash. It will look like sunburn and feel rough to the touch, like sandpaper.  If pressure is applied to the skin, it might briefly take on a paler hue.  The rash will typically begin around the face, neck, and chest (most common on neck and chest), spreading to the abdomen and back, and, less often, to the arms or legs. Along the skin creases in the groin, armpit, elbows, knees, and neck your child might develop lines with an ever deeper reddish hue than the rest of the rash.  It is common to have a circle of pale skin around the lips. This is caused by the enlargement of the taste buds on the tongue. At first, the taste buds will be covered with a white coating. After a few days, the tongue will generally develop a red, bumpy appearance. As the red rash begins to fade, your child's skin may begin to peel as if after a sunburn. Be mindful; that does not mean that the illness is gone. You should still seek medical attention. You should take your child to a doctor whenever he or she develops reddish skin accompanied by a fever and/or sore throat. Although scarlet fever is easily treated with antibiotics, if it is left untreated, it can cause an array of complications. Untreated, scarlet fever can cause kidney disease, skin infection, ear infection, abscesses of the throat, lung infection, arthritis, heart problems and problems with the nervous system (rheumatic fever).

Sometimes scary movies you watch can leave a lasting impression on you. As a result, you may develop chronic fear that is difficult to get over. If you began watching scary movies as a child or teenager, you are more likely to have long term anxiety and fear. Addressing your fears helps you develop courage and feel safe.  Write down exactly what you are afraid and everything that is related to that fear.  For example, if you are afraid of the dark, you may write that you are afraid of the dark, afraid of going to sleep, and are scared of having nightmares. One way to overcome your fear is to expose yourself to what you are afraid of. You should expose yourself in a safe, controlled environment. This teaches you to move through your fear and allow it to pass.  For example, if you are afraid of Freddy Krueger, you may watch the movie every week. To control your environment, you could watch the movie in the daytime with some of your friends. The more you expose yourself to something, you will develop more control and the movie will have less of an impact on you. If watching the entire movie is too scary for you, start small and work your way up. Watch the movie for 15 minutes one week and then 30 minutes the next week. Continue to build until you can watch the entire movie. You may experience physical symptoms (e.g. racing heart, sweating, difficulty breathing, upset stomach, lightheaded, etc.) when you are afraid or anxious. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and aerobic exercise (e.g. walking, running, dancing, swimming, etc.) can help you feel calm and gain control.  Try to find time to do relaxation techniques every day. You will see the best results if relaxation becomes part of your regular routine. You can practice multiple relaxation techniques or stick to one that you really enjoy. Fear can cause you to have negative and irrational thoughts. It is important that you replace these thoughts with positive thoughts. If you do not counter these thoughts, your...

Sometimes strong emotions come up, and you may have no idea what triggered them. However, by paying close attention over time, it’s usually possible to learn what your triggers are. This makes it easier to work with them.  Take time to reflect after an incident involving strong emotions. Where did those feelings come from? Write down what you felt, your reaction, where you were when the trigger took place, who you were with, and what you were doing at the time. Journaling like this is a great tool for keeping track of your triggers. Review your list and identify those emotions that evoked strong and intense reactions, otherwise known as the "fight or flight" reaction from feeling threatened in some way. Emotions help us communicate to others. They prepare us and motivate us for action, and they can be self-justifying. Sometimes emotions arise in relation to an outside event, but they also happen in relation to internal events, like thoughts and even other emotions. Following are six of the major emotions:   Love  Happiness  Anger  Sadness  Fear  Shame Your body reacts to your emotions. For instance, your heart beats faster when you feel scared. When you're angry, your body tenses or feels hot. By recognizing the cues given by your body, you'll be able to identify the emotions you're feeling. You'll then be able to address those emotions and control them before they control you.

Sometimes the best treatment doesn't just focus on OCD symptoms. The thought content may disturb you to the point that it causes significant distress. A therapist can help you work through feelings of depression, shame, guilt, and depression in treatment. While addressing OCD may be the main treatment goal, it can also be important to target how the OCD makes you feel. With a therapist, create a hierarchy of situations or thoughts that cause you shame. Then, rank them from causing least shame to causing most shame. The therapist will help you face each situation and emotionally work through each situation that has caused shame related to OCD. This type of exposure can lessen the emotional reaction of shame and help you realize that you can face challenging thoughts and feelings. For example, you may feel shame around eating in front of your family and arranging the foods, doing simple tasks in front of others, and having thoughts about violence toward your sibling. Now, arrange the situations in order of severity of shame, then discuss each situation with your therapist. OCD is often treated with medications. Medications can help to lessen the severity of your symptoms. Medication can help decrease OCD thoughts overall, which can help decrease feelings of shame. Talk to a prescriber, such as a psychiatrist to discuss medications. Antidepressant medication is often tried first, and some people benefit from antipsychotic medication. Your prescriber may try several medications  to find the best fit for you. It's unlikely to find a medication that does not cause side-effects and that takes away all symptoms of OCD. When considering medication, it's important to note possible side-effects and risks associated with medication. When taking medication, make sure you do so under medical supervision. Family therapy can help families to understand OCD better and respond to the individual's needs more effectively. Especially if the person with OCD lives with the family, it can be difficult for the person and the family...

Sometimes the main culprit that causes hair to thin is the shampoo you use every day. Hair cleansers, conditioners, and styling products often contain chemicals that wear down the hair, dry it out and cause it to fall out more easily than healthy hair. Immediately improve the health of your hair by making the following changes in your bathroom:  Swap shampoo with sulfates for sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are harsh cleaners that are effective at stripping away the oils in your hair. The problem is that without the protection of natural oils, hair gets easily damaged and frayed. Choose a shampoo made with oils and natural cleansers that won't be too harsh for your hair. Replace commercially-manufactured conditioner with something made with natural ingredients. Conditioners can contain sulfates, too, and they also contain other chemicals that can be hard on your hair. Replace your conditioner with one that is made with coconut oil, aloe, and other natural conditioners. You can also try  substituting an apple cider vinegar solution - it makes hair soft, supple and shiny. Toss out hair sprays, gels, and pomades containing a lot of chemicals and alcohol. Applying these to your hair can dry it out and damage it over time. Use them sparingly or replace them with hair products containing natural ingredients. Styling tools like hair dryers, straightening irons, and curling irons are tough on hair. Use them sparingly or forego them altogether. If you absolutely must straighten or curl your hair, try  straightening without heat or using sponge rollers to curl it. Bleaching, highlighting, and coloring your hair can cause it to fall out or become dry and brittle. Chemical straighteners and permanent curls are also extremely damaging to your hair. Embrace your natural color and texture to promote hair growth and preserve the health of your hair. Trimming your hair gets rid of dull, damaged ends and adds new life and volume to your hair. Shorter cuts and layered cuts, especially, can make your hair appear to be thicker...

Sometimes the problem will be provided without an image and you will have to diagram it yourself to visualize the proof. Once you have a rough sketch that matches the givens in a problem, you might need to re-draw the diagram so that you can read everything clearly and the angles are approximately correct.  Make sure to label everything very clearly based on the information provided. The clearer your diagram, the easier it will be to think through the proof. Label right angles and equal lengths. If lines are parallel to each other, mark that down as well. If the problem does not explicitly state two lines are equal, can you prove that they are? Make sure you can prove all of your assumptions.  Write down the relationships between various lines and angles that you can conclude based on your diagram and assumptions. Write down the givens in the problem. In any geometric proof, there is some information that is given by the problem. Writing them down first can help you think through the process needed for the proof. When you are proving something in geometry, you are given some statements about the shapes and angles, then asked to prove why these statements are true. Sometimes the easiest way to do this is to start with the end of the problem.  How does the problem come to that conclusion? Are there a few obvious steps that must be proved to make this work? In order to make a solid proof, you have to make a statement and then give the geometric reason that proves the truth of that statement. Underneath the statement column, you will write a statement such as angle ABC = angle DEF. Under the reason, you will write the proof for this. If it is given, simply write given, otherwise, write the theorem that proves it. There are many individual theorems in geometry that can be used for your proof. There are many properties of triangles, intersecting and parallel lines, and circles that are the basis for these theorems. Determine what geometric shapes you are working with and find the ones that apply to your proof....

Sometimes the simplest questions are the most complex. How does a bird fly? Why is the sky blue? These are the kinds of questions that drove Leonardo Da Vinci to his innovative genius and scientific study. It was insufficient for Da Vinci to hear "Because God wills it," when the answer was much more complicated and much less abstract. Learn to form probing questions about the things that interest you and test them to obtain results.  Exercise: Write down at least five questions about a subject that fascinates you, and that you'd like to know more about. Instead of doing a cursory wikipedia search of the topic and then forgetting the matter completely, select a single question from that list and sit with it for at least a week. How do mushrooms grow? What is coral? What is a soul? Research it at the library. Write about it. Draw about it. Think about it. When you've started to form your own opinion about a particular topic or question, when you think you're getting close to a satisfactory answer, determine what criteria would be sufficient to either accept or reject that answer. What would prove you were right? What would prove you were wrong? How can you test your idea?  Exercise: Come up with a testable theory for your probing question and set up an examination, using the scientific method. Gather some substrate and grow your own mushrooms to learn more about different methods, techniques, and varieties. The scientific thinker interrogates ideas until all avenues of thought have been prodded at, examined, verified, or rejected. Leave no avenue of inquiry untouched. Regular thinkers often get attached to one of the first pleasing options or answers, ignoring the more interesting or complicated questions that might be more accurate. If you want to think like Leonardo Da Vinci, leave no stone unturned in your search for truth.  Exercise: Practice mind mapping. A powerful tool that can help you combine logic and imagination in your work and life, the end result of mapping should be a web-like structure of words...

Sometimes the situation may call for a more low-key type of energy and humor, while other situations may really need someone to be very lively. Try to learn which situations call for what. Listen to the mood of what is going on around you. This will take some practice, but being aware of the feelings of others will help you learn.  For example, a formal dinner party is not the time to be dancing around and telling jokes loudly. While you can still be energetic and lively, you can do it in a more subdued way, by laughing quietly and showing interest in the people around you with a smile on your face. If you are at an outdoor barbecue, you can probably be a bit more lively and energetic. Especially if there are kids around, who can match your intensity. People will see you and the children enjoying yourselves, and will probably want to join in the fun. Being emotionally intelligent means being able to perceive the emotions and mood states of those around you. If you are going to be the funny and energetic person, then it is important that you can read the feelings of others so you don’t overdo it. If you have just met someone, you can help yourself identify how they are feeling at the moment by chatting with them about something neutral, like the weather. This will give you an idea of their baseline behavior. Then, after talking for a few minutes, try telling a funny joke, or do something silly. Watch carefully for their reaction. Do their eyes light up? Do they smile? Or do you notice a more negative reaction? Do they lower their eyebrows, or glance away nervously? If so, this person is probably not in the mood to be entertained by silliness and jokes, so stick to a more subdued tone. In some situations, you may find yourself in the presence of someone who is more energetic and funny than you could ever dream of being. In this case, there is little point in trying to be the funniest, most energetic person in the room. Instead, let this person take the lead, and simply enjoy being in their presence.  If the...

Sometimes there is a sense that everyone has a best friend, but that is not true. This message can give the sense that if you don't have a best friend, there is something wrong with you. The reality is that there may be many reasons you do not have a "best friend", and that can be perfectly all right.   Some people have a variety of friends, none of which are extremely close, but are nonetheless supportive, fun, and meaningful. Friendship takes time. If you have just moved to a new town, you will not suddenly be surrounded with friends. Friendship--whether BFF status or not--takes time. Again, that is not a reflection on you. Your school community might not be a great match for you, but that does not mean there is something wrong with you. When you can truly choose your community (such as going to college or moving to a city with a vibrant LGBT social scene), you might simply find many more like minded individuals.

Sometimes unusual items will be perfect for your personal look.  For the crafty person, making your own jewelry is the perfect way to show off your unique taste. Wearing Grandma’s old cardigan or brooch may not seem unique, but few people wear older accessories like these anymore. And bonus, older items are generally of great, lasting quality. Pick a type of item to wear with every outfit that will make people think of you.  Maybe you always wear a ring on your pinky, or a scarf around your handbag. Just choose an accessory that you like and run with it. Try giving yourself a manicure to have totally unique nails. Blue nails with purple polka dots? Clear polish on top of natural nails? Why not? Glasses are a great way to customize your style. Try some cute frames like a vintage cat-eye shape, or frameless lenses. You can also experiment with different types of sunglasses. A smile is your most natural, unique accessory.  Nobody else has your unique smile, and it is a totally free, attention-grabbing accessory! Remember to have fun when choosing your unique style. A smile lifts your mood, and anything will look good on you if you are happy and confident.

Sometimes we take things personally and blame ourselves for a person’s bad behavior. For example, an upset and emotional child may yell at you, “You ruined everything!” because the wrong cake was chosen for a 12-year-old’s party. It is important to assess the situation and acknowledge the preteen’s mean behavior is most likely due to hormones, life changes, or their own inability to regulate their emotional responses when expectations are not met. It probably has little to do with the actual cake choice or parenting. Sometimes, we might read too much into a situation based on previous experiences or assumptions about people. This causes us to exaggerate a situation without honestly looking at the facts. Try to look critically at the situation.   Don’t jump to conclusions. Don’t catastrophize the situation. This is the idea that it’s the “end of the world.” Are things really this bad? Stay away from thinking that things are “always” and “never” happening. If you hear a comment that you find offensive or rude, think about asking for the person to clarify what they mean. They may have misstated what they meant, or you may have heard incorrectly.  "Could you please clarify? I'm not sure I understand." "I'm not sure I understand what you just said." "I might have misheard that. Could you repeat it?" If you have a habit of taking things personally, it means that you're apt to assume someone is directing some form of aggression towards you when they could be just joking around or having a bad day. It might be your instinct to react emotionally, but pause for a second. Maybe it's not about you.   Think back to a bad day you had before. Is it possible that this person is having a day like that today? Recognize that they may consider the event a mistake. We all say things we regret, and this could be one of their regrets. You may have certain triggers that you’re very sensitive about. For example, you might feel really sensitive about your clothes because your mother always criticized what you wore when you were...

Sometimes you have to make changes to avoid someone you don’t want to talk to. If you know this person is going to be at a party or gathering, don’t go.  Unless you’re in a situation where you can’t excuse yourself like school or work, you may have to choose not to attend a function to avoid someone. Tell a close friend that you aren’t going to be attending the event. Be honest with your friend as to why, but don’t be rude. If you are somewhere and you see someone you want to avoid talking to or interacting with, see if you can move elsewhere. If you’re at a party or bar, you may be able to go to another area and avoid running into this person. If you really don’t want to interact with someone but are having a hard time avoiding this person, ask people for help. You can get help from your friends, parents, your boss, or a counselor.  If you find that you can’t avoid this person because you have class or work with this individual, consider talking to someone who can help like your boss or a counselor. Calmly explain why you can’t be around this person. Perhaps this individual makes it hard for you to complete your work because you are uncomfortable. Maybe you can’t focus in class because this person won’t leave you alone. Tell an authority figure why you need to be removed from situations where you interact with this person. If you are able to, be upfront and end the relationship. If you have an ex that you don’t want to see or talk to anymore, or someone that might be in your larger friend group, you can simply cut ties with this person.  Establish your boundaries once and don’t apologize. Your health and peace of mind are the most important. Though it may be hard, tell this person that you won’t engage in any sort of contact anymore. Stick to your convictions. Some people may not easily leave you alone. But if you’ve stated your intentions, your job is done. Don’t engage anymore. It’s ok to outright say that you don’t want to talk to or see this person again. Sometimes if you are blunt and a little harsh,...

Sometimes you may be at the receiving end of bossing or nagging due to things you've done. This isn't to excuse any manipulatively controlling behavior. Rather, it's about keeping things in perspective and acknowledging that there may be times when you have exasperated someone! Be honest in your self-assessment if you really want to get to the heart of the bossing. Here are some things to consider:  Have you done anything (or failed to do something) that may have provoked the controlling attitude? For example, if you fail to meet deadlines regularly or you never clean up your room, you shouldn't be surprised if someone responsible either for your upbringing or your pay-check gets a little bossy with you. Bossy people can often ramp up their bossiness in face of what they perceive as unhelpful. In particular, bossy people find passive-aggressive behavior similar to a red rag to a bull — it simply causes them to become even more controlling because they're frustrated at the underhanded response. It is better to be open with your discontent and to assert yourself than to seek the undermine the bossy person. Nobody is a saint when it comes to being bossy — each of us has a tendency to boss others around at different times in life. It may be when you know something in great detail, it may be because you're in a position of authority, or you may just feel a little pushier than usual due to anxiety or pressure, but there will be times in your life when you get bossy. Use your memory of this experience to help you understand the constantly bossy person a little better and perhaps see the reason behind their behavior. Try to be more sensitive to other people when you feel the bossy trigger — notice their reactions. In doing so, you learn a lot about handling the emotions controlling people feel a lot of the time. You can possibly do this by discussing the matter (privately) with a third, uninvolved party. Be sure to choose someone who can be trusted with the information, who understands how to deal with similar...

Sometimes you may not want to talk to certain people because you feel uncomfortable in your surroundings. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you are an enjoyable person to be around. Remind yourself that you are entitled to your boundaries and it’s ok to voice your feelings to feel comfortable.  Focus on what you want and what will make you happy. Then, try and find people that have a similar attitude as you. Instead of trying to avoid people, which is a negative, focus on surrounding yourself with people like you who make you feel comfortable. Your thoughts contribute to your mood, and even your actions. Smile and take a moment to tell yourself that you are where you are meant to be. Having a positive attitude will help you to attract other positive people. You won’t always like, or want to talk to everyone everywhere, but doing activities you enjoy is more likely to surround you with people you are comfortable engaging with.  If you’re in school, join a group or club that interests you. Whether you’re introverted or extroverted, there are plenty of extracurriculars for every type of person. From theatre, to the track team, you can find an activity and a group of people that are like you. Not only will doing something you like give you confidence and let you get to know people like you, but it will give you a way to stay busy and avoid situations and people you’d rather not be around. Instead of worrying about other people, and how someone may react to you, focus on enjoying yourself. Know that if someone is being mean to you, or trying to make you feel bad, that it’s always not your problem.  Oftentimes people will take out frustration on someone else due to personal insecurities. Putting your energy into enjoying what you are doing can make it easier to avoid someone. You won’t have time to deal with someone who isn’t helping your experience. Whether you’re in a social setting, at school, or at work, surrounding yourself with people you get along with is a great way feel more comfortable.  If you...

Sometimes you will set expectations for a spouse, partner, or child. If you are in management, however, you likely will set expectations for myriad diverse people. When setting goals in those instances, work to appreciate each individual’s personality, work patterns, hobbies, and passions. By having a sense of the person, you will be better able to set realistic expectations. Ask the person:  What work tasks makes you concerned? Which work activities give you energy? What are your work goals? How do your work and personal goals jive with our expectations here?  How can I help you work towards your various goals in a strategic, effective manner? Make sure contracts explain duties thoroughly and the employee's specific role in your organization. Convey job responsibilities to employees. Outline the person’s responsibilities, duties, and purposes.  When making a new request, check whether your request is realistic. Ask yourself whether you can visualize your employee doing what you desire. If the person has done the task previously, your request is likely realistic. When the assignment is something new, consider whether your employee could complete the task with the available time and resources.  If possible, help make the task easier. For example, if you need your employee to write a very important report, give her a quiet office where she can work on the report. Be concrete in your expectations but be flexible in your timeline. Craft a timeline that works for both of you. Offer your assistance when it is possible as well. Meet with your employees to set regular goals. Split projects into smaller sections with each section having its own goals. Set regular meetings at which you can review progress. If people are not meeting your expectations, have an open dialogue with them. People cannot read your mind. In some cases, your expectations might be too high. In other scenarios, it is possible you did not transmit your expectations clearly. Either way, it is best to check in with people regularly about...

Sometimes, Excel documents created on older computers or versions of Excel become unstable on newer versions; similarly, Excel documents can be saved in many different file formats. By changing the Excel file format to "xlsx" (or "xls" for older programs), you can fix this problem. Click the blue, face-shaped app icon in your Mac's Dock. Go to the folder in which your Excel file is located, then click the Excel file that you want to recover. This menu item is in the top-left corner of your Mac's screen. Clicking it prompts a drop-down menu. It's in the File drop-down menu. This will open a pop-up window. If you don't see any file name or extension below this category, click the triangle to the left of the "Name & Extension" heading to view the file's name and extension. Replace whatever comes after the period at the end of the file name with xlsx and then press ⏎ Return.  For example, if the document was named "Spreadsheet1.txt", you would change it to "Spreadsheet1.xlsx". If the file extension already is "xlsx", try using "xls" or "html". This will confirm your decision and change the file type. Double-click the file to open it. If the file opens in Excel (or, if you selected "html" as the extension, a web browser), your file has successfully been recovered.  If you chose the "html" extension, you can convert the webpage into an Excel document by dragging the html file onto the Excel icon and then saving the file that opens as a new "xlsx" file. If the file still won't open, proceed to the next Mac method.

Sometimes, a bird will simply fly into your home through an open door or window by mistake; there will be very little you can do to prevent this from happening. But you should still consider adding sturdier screens onto your windows and avoid keeping large entrance ways (like sliding glass doors) open to the outside. When a bird randomly flies into your home, you can view that as just a single, strange incident; but having a nest of pigeons or other birds move into your attic is another crisis that requires a very different approach. Birds that like to nest in homes tend to prefer areas such as chimneys, gutters, eaves, and laundry vents; you should make sure that these areas are properly sealed so they cannot enter your home. If you have a woodpecker who continues to bore into the side of your house, hang a shiny object -- like an old CD or DVD -- near the site; this will deter the bird from remaining in that spot. Wind chimes are also helpful in discouraging woodpeckers. Many wildlife removal experts specialize in using objects that will prevent birds from nesting on or in your home, such as bird spikes, avian sound machines, tape, glass and other materials. If you sense that birds could become a problem for your home, go ahead and contact a professional to help you prevent this from happening.

Sometimes, a sore vagina is caused by something obvious. If you've recently given birth, or had rough sexual intercourse, that may be the cause. However, vaginal pain with no clear cause should be evaluated by a medical professional. This is especially important if you notice any of the following symptoms:  Vaginal discharge with an unusual color or odor Redness, itching, or irritation Bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause Any kind of unusual mass or bulge in your vagina Any blisters in or on the outside of the vagina Over-the-counter pain medications usually do not lessen vaginal pain. You will have to talk to your doctor about prescription medications.  The antidepressants amitriptyline and nortriptyline may soothe vaginal pain. Your doctor may prescribe these medications if he or she believes it would help with your vaginal pain. They may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, and weight gain. This is a last resort after ruling out all other causes of vaginal pain Anti-epilepsy medications can also ease vaginal pain, but may cause similar side effects. Vaginal pain can be a symptom of a variety of STIs. Getting tested is important. If you have an STI, the sooner you treat it the better.  Many STIs can be cured with a simple round of antibiotics. If you have an STI, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. Take all your antibiotics as prescribed. Some STIs, like herpes and HIV, do not have a cure. You will have to talk to your doctor about the best treatment option to keep symptoms and complications in check. Vaginal soreness may be caused by certain cancers, vaginal cysts, or other medical problems. However, most causes are yeast infections, allergy to a laundry detergent, herpes outbreak, endometriosis. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may want to run a series of tests to rule out such conditions. Talk your symptoms and medical history over with your doctor. He or she will determine what tests, if any, need to be conducted.

Sometimes, especially when the narcissist is someone you love (a significant other, a parent, or a child), you may want to consider staging an intervention. This can be very difficult, as it can be very hard to convince a narcissistic person that they have a problem. The best time to stage an intervention is after something very life-changing has happened to the narcissist (like an illness, a job loss, etc.) where the things that are feeding their ego are damaged or removed. You'll need a neutral and experienced party, as things can get emotional and stormy during the intervention. They can also help you plan the intervention and give you some idea of how the intervention might go. Try to get the advice of someone such as a behavioral therapist, psychologist, or licensed clinical social worker who has experience dealing with narcissists.  A professional can discuss different therapeutic options with you. Individual psychotherapy and group therapy both have their benefits and have been shown to help narcissistic individuals see other people as individuals who are as important as they are.  Look around in your area and ask some people whose opinions you trust who they might recommend. You want to make sure that you have the right person for the task. These need to be people who are close to the narcissist in some way, or people who have been hurt by the narcissist but are willing to see them get the help they need. Make sure that these people aren't going to warn the narcissist ahead of time and aren't going to spread gossip around about what is going on. An intervention is not a spur of the moment thing. You'll need to plan out where and when and what you all are going to say and do. The professional can help you here with some of what you might expect from the intervention. These are the main points that you want to stick to during the intervention. They can be things like how the narcissist's issues are hurting the family (give specific examples) and why you're having the intervention (they've become...

Sometimes, it helps to get your confidence up before approaching your crush at all. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel good– wear a new t-shirt, spend a little extra time doing your hair, or pump yourself up with your favorite song. Embrace those days when you just feel great about yourself, and strike up a conversation then. If you feel good, you’ll exude that confidence.  Wearing a lucky shirt, standing up straight, and visualizing a great conversation in your head are all additional ways to give yourself that boost of confidence you need. If doesn’t matter what you do to feel good, just do it! No matter how cute, smart, funny, or cool your crush seems, they are a person just like you. They feel awkward sometimes, they want to be liked, and they want to make friends just like you do. Try not to put them on a pedestal, because it will only make talking to them even more intimidating. For all you know, they’ve been admiring you from afar this whole time. You owe it to both of you to try. No matter how anxious or shy you may feel on the inside, it’s important to look like you’re calm, cool, and collected. Flash them a big smile and try to look at them when you speak. Show them that you’re sure of yourself, and they will automatically be impressed.  When you speak to your crush, make sure that you're facing them, speak loud enough to be understood, and use a friendly tone. You can also lean towards them to better hear what they're saying. If you look terrified, they’ll most likely feel a bit awkward. Camouflage your nervousness and summon up all of your confidence. You are a smart, capable, and charming person. Think of your best qualities, and all the wonderful things you have to offer the people around you. Love and appreciate your strengths, and that's all that matters. Your crush will either see that and be grateful to speak with you, or they will be silly and it's their loss. Go forth and conquer! Also, try to calm yourself down right before you talk to your crush. Whether you listen to some...

Sometimes, it is the little things that count the most. Think about what sorts of things your boyfriend likes, or how his day is going, and try to incorporate that into your actions. For example:  Bring him a cup of coffee or his favorite beverage in the mornings, or buy his favorite snack for lunch. Do something nice for him when he’s having a bad day, such as cooking his favorite meal. Wear his favorite outfit of yours, or surprise him with a Saturday trip to his favorite place. Kissing and hugging are two ways couples nonverbally show their feelings for each other. You can also hold hands, cuddle, or touch each other as you talk.  It's perfectly normal for things to cool down after you've been together for a few years, but don't stop the affection, or he might think you're losing interest in him. Even if you've been together for a while, don’t stop hugging or kissing him before you go home after a date. Continue to cuddle on the couch as you watch TV. You should be affectionate and buy your boyfriend cute things on special occasions. However, you should avoid acting extremely lovey-dovey or buying him things for no reason. Showing him that he's the only one doesn't mean smothering him.  Going overboard with affection may make him think that you are making up for something you feel guilty about. There is a time and place for everything. Some people are comfortable with public displays of affection while others aren't. Be mindful and respectful of others. . If your guy is like most modern guys, he appreciates a smart and confident partner. When you let your confidence shine, you remind him of why he fell in love with you in the first place. You also show that you have the self-esteem that many unfaithful partners lack. Express your confidence by speaking up for yourself (calmly) when he’s hurt you. Being a doormat is not part of true love and loyalty. Unforeseen circumstances are one thing. If you had to break tonight's date because you developed a migraine after lunch, that’s understandable. On the other...

Sometimes, people demonstrate their worst traits around us because we unwittingly provoke them. Are you always turning in assignments late or asking for additional time? Your own “I’ve got all the time in the world”, laid-back attitude could be contributing to this person’s edginess. Do you need to change?  While your laid-back approach to life may be a part of your charm, it can be frustrating for co-workers or friends who are depending on you. It might be time to think about how you can work on being more mindful of their needs as well. This can be as simple as opening up better lines of communication so they know you are open to change. We all have tendencies that may seem annoying to others. Just as you hope those around you accept you for you, the same is true for accepting the best and worst of those around you.  You may have to get used to people getting impatient if communication isn’t your strong point. A big part of becoming impatient is often the unknown, so if you find those around you becoming a little short it might be useful to figure out why this is happening to you specifically.  If you find in the work place or at home there are certain people who are almost always impatient with you, try asking them for feedback about what makes this happen. If they see you as being disorganized for example, ask them for feedback to take small steps to change that. This can go a long way to not only change your behavior but also tells them you are open to doing better. Empathy really means stepping into the other person’s shoes to see how they might view the situation. Instead of having an emotional response about their impatience, stop to think about where it could be coming from and consider the other person’s role in the task or situation. A big part of empathy can be tied to clearly understanding how your part of the assignment or task at hand affects others. For example, if your coworkers have to wait for your part of a report to start theirs, it might make sense that they are impatient if they do not...

Sometimes, people just want to be heard. You can acknowledge them and their “advice” without making a big deal or getting upset. When they speak, look them in the eye and listen. Don’t interrupt them. Allow them to speak and say what they want to say, then respond in a way that shows that you've heard them. Without saying anything more (or arguing), let the person know you’ve heard them. For example, say, “I hear you saying you’d use different materials” or, “Okay. Thanks for that feedback.” If someone is behaving inappropriately at work, it’s okay to say something. Take a calm and professional tone and say something short and succinct. Avoid making a scene by remaining polite. For example, say, “I know you would do it differently, but this is my project.” You might want to say how their behavior is affecting you. If you do this, stay away from blaming and stick to “I” statements. Let them know how their behavior is affecting you and that you want it to stop. For example, say, “It bothers me when you step in and take over my job.” Or try saying, “I feel like you don’t trust me to do a good job on my own.” Be consistent and firm in asserting your own boundaries at work. If someone wants to boss you around, respond in a similar manner each time so that they understand that you’re fine on your own. Assert yourself and your needs so that the person knows your boundaries and not to cross them.  For example, say, “No, I’m planning to do it this way” or, “Thank you, but I’ve got this covered.” If you want to be extra clear, say, “I hear that you want to help, but it’s not necessary. Please respect my work and let me complete it on my own.” If someone is quick to offer advice to you on your work, take a different approach when discussing their work. Give them an appropriate alternative and interact with them in the way you’d like them to approach you. When talking to co-workers around the bossy co-worker, model a similar behavior. For example, say, “Would you like some input?” or, “Is there any help you’d like?” You...

Sometimes, people may have unrealistic expectations of a relationship. If you're feeling disappointed with someone a lot, look at your own expectations. Can you see where your expectations may not be particularly realistic?  Oftentimes, we may have expectations that seeped in from past relationships. For example, say your last girlfriend moved to a city to be with you. She did not have a lot of friends there and, as a result, hung out with you a lot. Your new girlfriend has been living in this city for a while. She may go out more and be less reliant on you for entertainment and socialization. If your expectation is that social events should always be done together, this may be a leftover expectation from your old relationship. It's not really reasonable, considering your new girlfriend's situation.  You may also have expectations that are unrealistic in other ways. For example, your girlfriend may give you a "maybe" if you ask her if she wants to hang out later. For you, a "maybe" might come off as a "probably" or "definitely." You may find yourself consistently disappointed when your girlfriend lets you know she can't make it that night. Maybe your expectations are unrealistic. Many people, especially people with busy schedules, may simply be unable to commit some days. You can start seeing a maybe as a maybe, and expect that you may have to find something else to do that night. If your expectations do seem unreasonable, work on reframing them. Sometimes, future disappointment is less likely if you learn to accept certain things about another person.  Let's return to our above example. Your new girlfriend is clearly more independent. She has her own life, her own career, and her own social circle. She may not be the type of person who needs a significant other to feel complete. In this case, try to reframe what you expect of a romantic relationship. In this relationship, you may not spend all your free time together. Your girlfriend may go out with just her friends a few times a week. Try to accept this is...

Sometimes, small changes can make a big impact in how much time you're spending online. Simply rearranging the desktop on your computer can help. Get rid of shortcuts that take you to games or websites you enjoy. Keep your laptop or computer out of your bedroom so it's not the first thing you think of in the morning. These are minor changes, but they can help you avoid temptation. Any small thing you can do to delay gratification can deter you from using your computer. When you're not using your computer or laptop, turn it off. If you know you have to wait for it to power up again before use, you may be less likely to spend a spare 10 minutes online. If you have a smart phone, it may encourage the temptation to use your computer. Checking the internet and your social media profiles might tempt you to open up your laptop. Simply scheduling some time away from the phone can help lessen your computer usage.  Make a rule about no phones out during mealtimes, even if you eat alone.  On occasion, go for a walk without your phone. If possible, attend a social event and leave your phone at home. Oftentimes, big commitments are hard to maintain. Change takes time and you may not go from being a computer junkie to spending 2 hours a day technology free. If you're struggling to make a transition, try making small 5 to 15 minute commitments.  Promise yourself you'll take a 15 minute walk 3 times a week. Try to honor this commitment no matter what occurs. This may feel more doable than a goal like, "I'll spend an hour a day working out instead of using the computer."  Scheduling tiny pockets of time can add up. You may find you enjoy your 5 minutes away from your laptop and you'll begin to naturally desire to spend more time offline.

Sometimes, starting the conversation can lead you to a solution. Be polite when you tell you're parents that you are interested in getting a new phone, and really listen to what they have to say. If you can respond to your parents reasons and excuses for not getting you a new phone in a convincing way, they'll be more likely to shell out for your brand new mobile device. You might ask:  "What can I do to earn a new phone?" "Are there any other chores I can help with to prove I'm ready for a new phone?" Stay calm throughout your talk with your parents about your phone situation and keep your cool if you hear a "no" in response. This is an opportunity for you to show your maturity and to earn points with your parents. Instead of getting upset or frustrated, ask your parents:  "What can I do to change your mind?" "What can I do to prove to you that I need a new phone?" This can be tricky, especially if you're too young to work. If you have birthday money saved up, you can offer to put that toward getting a new phone, or you can offer to do more housework in exchange for an allowance.  Offer your services as a babysitter to friends and family who have children that are younger than you who need supervision. You might be able to earn money around your neighborhood doing seasonal chores, like mowing lawns in summer or shoveling snow in winter. When you want something badly, sometimes it's all you can think about. However, asking again and again can irritate your parents, making them less willing to get you a phone. Instead of asking the same question repeatedly, ask in a roundabout way that highlights your recent effort. You might say, for example:  "How does the kitchen look? I've been trying to help out by doing dishes. I thought that maybe if I helped out around the house more, we could talk again about getting me a new phone." "I know you've been busy with work lately, so I vacuumed the house for you. Is there anything else I can help with? I was thinking that if I contributed more, I might be able to get a new...
