Making a major life change, from ending a long-term relationship to switching careers, is usually only terrifying because you don't know what is coming next. That uncertainty can paralyze you if you don't take the time to figure out where exactly you are going. You don't need to know everything, no one ever could, but you do need a vision for how you are going to change. What do you want to eliminate from your life? What do you want to add? Where do you see yourself 1 year after you've made your change? What do you want, more than anything else, to spend your time doing? Once you have a good idea of where you are going, you need to figure out how to get there. This is often the hardest part of changing, but it becomes much easier if you think of it in reverse. Say your goal is to become a famous author. To make this change a reality, think of the steps that would lead to becoming a famous author until you get to one you can work on: Goal: To Be a Famous Author. Get a book published. Find a literary agent. Write and edit a book. Write every single day. Draft up ideas for books. If you don't have an idea yet, you would start here. If you do, it's time to write every day! Making a big change in life is a lot easier if you have a safety net to fall back on. You're more likely to take a plunge when you know that failure doesn't mean the end of the world, so save up a little extra money. This will allow you to focus on changing your life, not on paying the bills. Open a savings account and start putting in a small percentage (5-10%) of your paycheck in it. Many financial advisors suggest having enough money to cover at least 6 months of living expenses before making a large change, like a move or career change. You never want to make a major lifestyle change without some knowledge of what you are in for. If you want to start a new career, going back to school is often the best way to get on track, as the specific knowledge will prepare you for a life in the field you desire. Even those looking for more "off-beat" changes, like traveling for a year or becoming an artist, need to study to get the most of their lifestyle change. Look up autobiographies of similar people. While you don't have to follow in their footsteps, they offer valuable advice about what to expect as you change. Spend time researching your new change what kind of equipment do you need? Do you need to move locations? What are the negatives of your new lifestyle, and do they make you want to change any less? Once you've made the decision to make a change and you are confident it's time to start, you need to cut your old ties. This does not mean that you will never see people from your "old life" again. Rather, it means that you need to take some time away from the routines, habits, and lifestyle to truly change things. Never burn bridges with cruel goodbyes or anger. Instead, let people know that you are ready for a change and would love their support as you go through with this. You need to commit to your new life fully if you ever expect to change. Sometimes this is easy if you want to travel for a year you need to get on a plane and get out of the country. But sometimes this requires daily discipline. No matter how you cut it, for example, you need to write every single day if you want to be a famous author. Remember, change is about choice. Make the choices that bring about the change you desire.

One-sentence summary -- Draft up a concrete image of what you want to become. Plan specific ways to change your lifestyle. Save up. Get educated. Get out of your old life quickly and respectfully. Work on making your new change a reality every day.

Problem: Article: If your meningitis is caused by bacteria, your doctor will start you on antibiotics. Often, you will stay in the hospital and antibiotics will be given by IV. Oral antibiotics may not be strong enough or fast-acting enough to treat bacterial meningitis appropriately. Your doctor may start you on "broad-spectrum" antibiotics immediately, even while waiting to see what bacteria grows from your spinal tap. These are antibiotics that fight a wide range of bacteria. Then once results return, your antibiotics may be changed to specifically target the appropriate bacteria causing your illness. You may also get treated with corticosteroids to minimize the chance of complications like seizures and brain swelling. Most cases of meningitis come from viruses, not bacteria. Viral meningitis is usually less severe than bacterial meningitis. It usually requires no treatment and should clear on its own. Stay home from work or school, get plenty of rest, drink fluids, and allow the illness to pass. Over-the-counter pain medication can help to temporarily relieve uncomfortable symptoms. Your doctor may want to give you a course of steroid treatment to prevent brain swelling, and maybe anticonvulsants to prevent seizures. If the herpes virus is causing your meningitis, you may be prescribed an antiviral medication. Chronic meningitis when symptoms develop over a course of 2 weeks or longer occurs when a slow-growing organism, like fungus, causes the infection. This requires hospitalization and treatment with antifungal medications. The symptoms are similar to bacterial meningitis, so seek care and diagnosis when you have any meningitis symptoms. If someone around you has meningitis, your doctor may recommend that you take antibiotics as a prophylactic, or preventative, measure. This can help keep you from getting the illness, especially if you live with someone who is sick or you have a weakened immune system. Discuss this option with your doctor.
Summary:
Get antibiotic treatment for bacterial infections. Take it easy if you have a viral infection. Seek immediate medical care for chronic or fungal meningitis. Ask your doctor about prophylactic medicine if you're around sick people.
