Write an article based on this "Identify your role in the silent treatment cycle. Reduce anger to avoid worsening the situation. Set personal boundaries. Perform self-care."
article: Once you have got some space to yourself, you can use this time to consider how you play a role in the other person's silence. This is not placing the fault on you, but giving you the power to recognize and change any communication patterns that may lead you to this point. As you reflect on your interactions with the person, try to find common patterns in your own behavior. For instance, your boyfriend was talking and you interrupted him because you assumed you knew what he was about to say. The silent treatment ensued shortly afterward. Your tendency to "predict" his thoughts could be causing frustration that prompts him to pull away. You can minimize your part in causing the silent treatment in this scenario by practicing active listening. Don't cut in on your partner when they are talking. Give them time to fully express their message before you respond. Feeling manipulated can generate anger within you, which can push an already unhelpful interaction into dangerous territory. Recognize that it won't do any good for your relationship to display anger. Use the space you get during the silent treatment to minimize the negative emotions you feel. Try some relaxation techniques such as guided imagery, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or gentle stretching to reduce anger and promote calm. If you need time to cool down, try taking a one hour break or even agree to table the conversation until the following day. Just don't put it off for too long. When you effectively set boundaries in your relationships, you increase the chances of living according to your values. Whether the person giving the silent treatment is a parent, best friend, or lover, you can limit your own feelings getting hurt by this toxic relational pattern by developing personal boundaries. Set boundaries by first thinking about how you want to be treated in your relationships, and what you will and will not accept from those around you. Once you have established these limits, share these expectations with your loved ones. Keep in mind that if you have been abused in the past, then you might feel confused about how you ought to be treated in relationships. Try talking your situation over with a trusted friend first. For instance, you might say, "I care about you and enjoy spending time with you. But, when you suddenly stop talking to me, it makes me feel confused and helpless. If you continue to do this, I will have to get some distance from you to protect my own emotional health and well-being." Regardless if the person means to hurt you, being on the receiving end of the silent treatment doesn't feel good. Spend some time doing things that relax you and make you smile to counteract the negative effects of the silent treatment. Get some exercise. Call a trusted friend. Visit a local park or museum. Light a candle and take a bubble bath. These are all excellent ideas to perform self-care to boost your mental health during the silent treatment.

article: . Getting a diagnosis is the first step in treating any condition. There are no tests to confirm whether or not you have piriformis syndrome, so your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask you to explain all of your symptoms. Your doctor may also want you to have an MRI to rule out any other possible causes of your symptoms. A physical therapist can design a program developed to meet your specific needs and guide you through exercises that will efficiently stretch your muscles and relieve pain. Get started early with physical therapy to get the greatest benefit. Massage and trigger point therapy may offer relief for piriformis symptoms. In some cases, piriformis symptoms might actually be caused by trigger points, or muscle knots. These knots may be found in the piriformis or gluteal muscles, and the pressure they cause can lead to pain at the site of the knot or even elsewhere on the body. Locate a health professional who is trained in trigger point therapy (a doctor, massage therapist, physical therapist) and see if this is the source of your pain. Your doctor may recommend certain over-the-counter and prescription medications to help you deal with pain. For example, some doctors may prescribe a muscle relaxant to help ease the discomfort of your piriformis syndrome. Ask your doctor about taking ibuprofen or naproxen for occasional piriformis pain as well. Some injection treatments have been found to be helpful in cases of piriformis syndrome. Ask your doctor if an injection treatment might be useful in your situation. The two main injection treatments for piriformis syndrome include anesthetic injection and Botox injection. Anesthetic injection. A pain relieving substance such as lidocaine or bupivacaine may be injected into the piriformis to help relieve pain. Botox injection. Botox injections have also been found to be effective in reducing pain and discomfort from piriformis syndrome. Electrotherapy has been found to be effective in some cases of piriformis syndrome. Ask your doctor or physical therapist about the possibility of using Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) or Interferential Current Stimulator (IFC) to help treat your piriformis syndrome. Surgery has provided long-term pain relief for some sufferers of piriformis syndrome, but as with any surgery, there are some serious potential side effects to this treatment. It is best to exhaust all of your other treatment options before looking into surgery for piriformis syndrome.

Take defensive measures. Document all evidence of cyber bullying. Do not blame your child. Report cyber bullying. Consider taking formal action."
article:
For starters, your child should be required to tell you if he or she (or someone else he or she knows) is being bullied online. It's a good idea to reassure your child that he or she will not be punished for coming to you with this problem. If, for example, you respond by taking away his or her electronic devices, you will only ensure that your child never comes to you again. If your child is being targeted online, you need to get involved. Do not dismiss the problem or wait for it to escalate before taking action. If you know who is bullying your child online, consider contacting that person's parents or the school authorities. Be sure to discuss this course of action with your child, though. More and more schools have explicit policies about cyber bullying. Check and see if your child's school does. Whether your child is the target or not, he or she should know not to pass along any messages that qualify as cyber bullying. Insist that your child not reply to these messages or try to "fight back," as this will only exacerbate the situation. If your child is being cyber bullied, have them block or "un-friend" the bullies when possible. Direct any messages to specific folders; leave them unread and do not reply. If possible, block the email addresses and cell phone numbers of cyber bullies. Save all evidence, including messages, pictures, and text messages Let your child know that being victimized online is not his or her fault. Offer your non-judgmental support, and watch your child for signs of emotional distress. Get help as needed. If your child is being bullied online, you should report it to your internet service provider, your cell phone company, and the support teams of any websites involved in the bullying. Get appropriate legal advice, and, using any documented evidence of cyber bullying, think about going to the police. Contacting the police is especially advisable if the bullying involves sexual content, fraud, threats, or extortion.
