Q: Shame and stigma often lead people with mental disorders to feel very isolated. Help the person maintain a healthy relationship by actively engaging with them. You don't need to discuss DID. In fact, it may be better to spend time together not discussing the disorder. This may help them to feel "normal." Try scheduling a weekly date to make sure you maintain regular contact. Find an activity you can do together to focus your discussion on something other than DID. Support groups are great ways to find others who share similar experiences. Suggest you start attending a support group together to show support. DID is pretty uncommon, so you may not be able to find a support group specific to that disorder in your area. Large cities may have groups designated for Dissociative Disorders but in smaller towns, you may need to look for support groups dedicated to mental health in general. If you can't find a support group in your area, consider joining an online support group. Show the person you care and want to support them by joining an advocacy group. This will provide further education and opportunity for you to feel helpful. Encourage the person to join with you. Participating with an advocacy group may help them better understand their social experiences and overcome stigma.
A: Just be there. Join a support group. Be an advocate.

Q: Read the job ad again, and think carefully about what the most essential skills are. Choose three to five of these that you possess, and use them at the very beginning of your resume to grab the reader's attention. This lets readers see very quickly that you are a good candidate for the position. You can place these essential skills immediately beneath the resume heading, in one line. For the customer service representative example, you might have: "High Call Volume Management / Call Center Customer Service / Call Escalation" After your heading and essential skills, you should have a short paragraph briefly highlighting your basic skills and experience. This is called the summary statement. Make sure that you tailor it to the job you are applying for; include relevant skills, and remove anything that seems not to be applicable. Underneath the summary statement, create a skills section. This should also be tailored for the particular job you are applying to. Aim to include a list of five to ten skills, and no more than fifteen. Be as concise as possible, using only one to three words for each skill. Keeping each skill as short as possible is important; it allows recruiters to review the list quickly. Remember that you'll also have an experience section, which will back up your list and provide further details. In general, it's best to use a bullet format with multiple columns. Use a professional resume template. Adding two or three columns will keep your resume short and professional looking. Below your skills list should be your experience section, the bulk of your resume length. Make sure, in this section, that you back up the skills you have listed with more detail. You should not be sending identical resumes to different companies for different jobs. Taking the extra time to review your resume and add and delete skills to keep it relevant for a particular job is essential to securing as many interviews as possible.
A: Choose a few essential skills to highlight. Create a summary statement. Add a skills section beneath your summary statement. Relate your experience to your skills. Review and edit for each job.

Q: Gather your prescriptions and take a close look at them, noting detailed information about them. Ask yourself: Why am I taking this medication? What is it treating? If you don't know the answer to this, you need to speak with your doctor. Collecting this information will allow you to build a personal medical record that can help you keep track of your medications. Ask your doctor and pharmacist for detailed and accurate information about your medications. Check the labels on your medication containers to learn some details about that medication. Consult any literature that accompanied your medications. Include prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, or any supplements you might be taking. After you have learned the details of your medications you can create a personal medical record. This personal medical record will allow you and any caregivers to know exact details and scheduling regarding your medication needs. List names of medications. Include brand name, scientific name, or generic name. Include physical descriptions of pills, including dosage size (Mg), shape, and color. Mark down how much a single dose is for you. Write the times when the pills need to be taken and any specific requirements such as "take with food". Have a reminder of when you began the medication and when you are to stop taking it or will need a refill. Make sure you know the proper procedure for stopping the medication some require you to slowly taper off, while others can be stopped when you run out. List the reasons you are taking the medication. Include information about which doctor prescribed the medication and how to contact him. Make note of potential side effects. After you have created your personal medication record, make copies of it and share it with family members or caretakers. Providing a copy of your medication record will help keep you on schedule and let family and caretakers help you as best they can to stay on track. Your medical information is your own private information. Share only with those you trust. You may also want to share your medication record with your doctor. Keep your list up to date and share new copies as you create them.
A: Examine your prescriptions and medications. Make a personal medication record. Share your personal medication record with family or caregivers.

Q: Laser hair removal works best on light skin with dark hair. If your hair is too light, the laser won't be able to find your hair follicles (which is how the laser works). If your skin is too dark, the laser might confuse your skin for hair follicles, which could hurt or even permanently burn you. New lasers, like the Nd:YAG, work better with darker skin types, but make sure you call your local laser hair removal location and confirm they have the Nd:YAG laser. The average price for a laser hair removal depends on whether you want a bikini or Brazilian laser hair removal. The average price of a bikini laser hair removal session in the US is $150, but it can be as high as $450. The average price of a Brazilian laser hair removal session in the US is $250, but it can be as high as $500. Laser hair removal requires that hair follicles be intact and inside your skin, and waxing removes hair follicles. Make your laser hair removal most successful by refraining from waxing for at least one month prior to your removal. In order to get the most out of your laser hair removal experience, you need to shave all of your vaginal hair the night before. Avoid using hair removal creams to remove hair before laser hair removal, as the chemicals can interact and cause irritation or pain. You might feel nervous or even mildly wary about being naked from the waist down in front of another person, but don't worry! Your laser hair removal technician is a professional. If you need to distract yourself from the awkwardness, focus on the sound the laser is making. If your laser hair removal technician ever does or says anything inappropriate, end the session as soon as you can and report them to a manager or the police. Laser hair removal generally feels like slight, mildly uncomfortable prickling. If you feel any pain or intense heat, ask your technician to turn down the intensity. Don't worry about "not getting your money's worth" -- if you feel prickling, it's working! Laser hair removal isn't immediately visible. It takes about 2 weeks before the removal starts showing effects, and until that point, your hair will be growing normally. After 2-3 weeks, your hair will start falling out. At this point, it's ok to shave. Laser hair removal can require anywhere from 1 to 10 treatments to fully and permanently remove hair. The average treatment length is 6 treatments.
A:
Don't plan on laser hair removal if you have light hair or dark skin. Budget for laser hair removal. Do not wax for at least 4 weeks before your laser hair removal. Shave (don't use cream) before your treatment. Let go of any awkward feelings. Tell your technician if you feel intense pain. Don't be surprised when your hair falls out. Prepare for multiple treatments.
