In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Whether it is medication for other disorders that often co-occur with DID, such as depression or anxiety, or whether it is making sure that your loved one goes to his appointments with his therapist, you will need to help him with both of these things. Keep track of what medications he is supposed to receive every day and make a schedule for therapy sessions and other appointments he may have. If your loved one is having trouble keeping a schedule, try creating a calendar with his appointments in it. If he has a smartphone, you can add a calendar to his phone that will give reminders of his upcoming appointments. While each person is different, there are some signs that nearly everyone with DID experiences before an episode or personality switch occurs. It can help to detect these signs so that you can prepare yourself mentally to deal with this person's alter. These signs include: Recurrent flashbacks to abuse or bad memories. Depression or extreme sadness. Frequent mood swings. Memory loss. Aggressive behavior. Feelings of numbness. When your loved one experiences a personality shift, memories from his other personalities do not necessarily carry over. This can make it very hard to keep track of important items like wallets, cell phones, etc. Create an inventory of your loved one's important items and place notes or stickies on or inside the items with your name and phone number on them. That way, anyone who finds your loved one's item can call you to return them. It is also important that you have a copy of all of your loved one's important documents, including social security card, medical information, passwords, etc. People suffering from DID have almost always experienced abuse during childhood. Self-harming behaviors, such as suicide, violence, substance abuse and risk-taking, are common in people who have DID. These behaviors tend to occur in those who have suffered abuse because they are used in an attempt to end their feelings of shame, horror, and fear spurred on by past abuse. If you notice that your loved one has started developing self-harming behaviors, call your therapist or the police right away.
Summary: Help get your loved one treatment. Know the warning signs of an upcoming episode. Keep track of your loved one's possessions. Monitor for self-harming tendencies.

Before you begin, make sure the iron is unplugged. Allow it to cool off completely before you start. This can ensure you don't burn or electrocute yourself when adding the vinegar. Plug in your iron again and set it to the steam feature. The heat setting should be at medium to high. Allow it to heat for at least 5 minutes. This flushes out mineral deposits and makes it easier to clean the ducts. Fill the reservoir with one cup (240ml) plain, distilled water. Turn on the iron again and hold the steam button again. This will clear any traces of remaining mineral deposits or vinegar.

One-sentence summary -- Unplug and cool the iron. Heat up your iron. Rinse the reservoir.

Q: If you plan on creating an original design, you might want to take a piece of paper and a pencil to sketch out some concept designs. If you plan on using a pre-made image, like one used by your favorite artist, video game, or TV show, you should should find a high resolution copy of the image. High resolution images will result in crisper, cleaner stencils. Beginners might want to stick with simple designs while learning the basics of stencil printing. A simple line drawing or thick, plain, black text will work well for your stencil. This can be easily done on a computer with image editing software, like Adobe Photoshop or MS Paint. You might import an image from online or your personal image library and make some modifications to it with your editing software, or you might use your own original artwork. If you don't have a printer, you can always look into how to make a stencil by hand. With image editing software, it will be easy for you to move around components of the design until you are happy with it. Text, in particular, will likely require some adjustment for you to get the right placement and size. Compare the size of your design to your substrate, which is the technical name for the thing you'll be stenciling onto later. This will prevent you from creating a stencil that is too large. Some examples of substrates you might stencil your design onto include: t-shirts, backpacks, posters, towels, walls, folders, and so on. You might want to change your image properties to "Black and white" before printing. This will make it easier to identify the parts you will need to cut from your image to make your stencil. You should print your image in black and white on a sturdy piece of paper, like card stock or posterboard. Depending on your printer, you may be able to cut a piece of white posterboard or card stock down to the size of a normal sheet of paper and use it in your printer as you would normally. Depending on your region and printer, your standard paper size may vary. Generally, you can expect most printers to accept paper 8.5 inches (21.6 cm) wide. Sturdy paper will result in a sturdier stencil. Using normal paper for your stencil might cause it to fall apart while stenciling.
A: Brainstorm your stencil ideas. Create your design. Print your design.

Problem: Article: Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to take a 1 to 2-inch (2.54 to 5,08-centimeter) square-shaped section of hair from your hairline. Lightly mist the section with water, then apply a moisturizing hair cream to it. A combination of castor oil and coconut or olive oil would work especially well for this. You can also use any other cream you'd normally use for making corn rows. Purchase some braiding hair or Marley hair. Select a thick strand, find the center, then place it behind the section of natural hair. You will have three strands of hair: a left synthetic strand, a center natural strand, and a right synthetic strand. Make sure that the hair you are using is synthetic. Cross the left strand over the middle one, then cross the right strand over the middle one. Keep braiding, making the stitches nice and right, until you run out of natural hair to braid. You will be left with two strands of synthetic braiding hair. Twist each strand of synthetic hair clockwise form two ropes. Next, twist the two ropes together counterclockwise to form a thicker rope. Do this for a few stitches, then stop. If the hair is very slippery and does not have a lot of texture to it, it may unravel during the next step. Secure it with a small hair elastic. Hold the first 1 inches (1.91 centimeters) of the synthetic strand against your braid. Make sure that the tip of the synthetic hair is pointing down towards the end of the braid, and not up towards your scalp. Secure the strand with a small hair elastic, if needed. Hold the 1-inch (1.91-centimeter) tip of the synthetic strand against your braid with one hand. Use your other hand to wrap the rest of the strand around braid and tip tightly. Start at your root, and continue downwards until you run out of hair to wrap. Overlap the hair slightly as you wrap so that you have no gaps. Hold the first 1 inches (1.91 centimeters) of the new strand against the rest of your hair section. Secure it with a small hair elastic, if needed, then wrap the rest of the strand downward. Keep doing this until your faux loc is the length you want it to be. Hold the synthetic hair you were wrapping with away from the core. Trim the excess hair from the bottom of the core with a pair of scissors. Do not cut the hair you were wrapping with just yet. The "core" is the first strand of synthetic hair that you braided into your hair at the very begging. Wrap the synthetic hair downwards until it covers the core hair completely. Trim it off using a razor comb, then wrap it back upwards until you have nothing left to wrap with. You don't have to use a razor comb, but it will give you a nicer finish. Turn on a lighter and pass it up and down the length of your faux loc. If using fire around your faux hair makes you nervous, use a drop of nail glue instead. This process can take a while, so it would be a good idea to get some help or take lots of breaks. Work your way in sections, row by row, until you are done.
Summary:
Take a thin section of hair, and apply moisturizer to it. Place a thick strand of braiding hair behind it. Braid the two together. Finish off with a rope braid for a few inches. Add a new strand of synthetic hair to the top of your braided hair. Wrap the synthetic strand around the braid. Add more synthetic strands using the same technique. Trim off the excess hair. Finish wrapping the synthetic hair, then trim it off with a razor comb. Seal the hair with a lighter. Repeat the process for the rest of your hair.
