Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Organize a night out with your own friends. Take on a new project to stay busy. Indulge your own interests. Change your scenery to help stop obsessive thoughts.

Answer: Part of your discomfort about your boyfriend going out may be because you wish you were doing the same. Manage your jealous feelings about his fun outing by planning one of your own with people you love to spend time with. Getting out and spending time with good friends is a healthy way to lessen your negative emotions. For example, plan a group dinner at a fun restaurant and invite old friends you haven't seen in a while. If your mind and body are busy, you will have less time to focus on your boyfriend going out. Make sure that you have something to occupy your time by starting a project that you are passionate about. This might include: Redecorating your room or apartment Writing a script or short story Hosting a fundraiser Planning a party In a relationship, you may adopt hobbies and interests that you can share with your partner and forget about those that you don't have in common. Take time for yourself to enjoy the things that are uniquely appealing to you. For instance, you can: Listen to music that you enjoy but your boyfriend dislikes. Watch television shows or movies that interest you. Engage in physical activities that your boyfriend does not want to participate in. Read books and magazines that only you enjoy. Changing your environment can sometimes mean a shift in your thought patterns. If you find yourself obsessing about your boyfriend going out, get moving to put a stop to it. Letting yourself worry about what your boyfriend is doing will likely make you miserable and unsettled. If you are obsessing about your boyfriends whereabouts, try going to a walk to clear your head. If you are at work or school and can't stop obsessing about his outing, try getting up to go to the washroom for a quick mental break.

Answer: Research indicates that women are six times more likely to have piriformis syndrome than men. Piriformis syndrome occurs most commonly in people between ages 30 and 50. The higher rate of diagnosis among women may be explained by the difference in biomechanics in men's and women's pelvises. Women may also develop piriformis syndrome during pregnancy. Because the pelvis widens during pregnancy, it can cause the attached muscles to contract. Pregnant women also often develop a pelvic tilt to accommodate the baby's weight, which can also lead the attached muscles to become tight. You may be more likely to be diagnosed with piriformis syndrome if you have certain other medical conditions, such as low back pain. About 15% of cases are due to a congenital or structural anomaly concerning the relationship between the piriformis muscle and the sciatic nerve. The majority of cases of piriformis syndrome are caused by what doctors call "macrotraumas" or "microtraumas." A macrotrauma is caused by a significant traumatic event, such as a fall or a car accident. Macro-trauma to the buttocks, which leads to inflammation of the soft tissue, muscle spasms, and nerve compression, is a common cause of piriformis syndrome. A microtrauma is a pattern of repeated minor injury to an area. For example, long-distance runners expose their legs to constant micro-trauma, which can eventually cause nerve inflammation and muscle spasm. Running, walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting for long periods of time can cause your piriformis muscle to compress and entrap the sciatic nerve, causing pain. Another form of microtrauma that may cause piriformis syndrome is "wallet neuritis." This condition can occur when a person carries a wallet (or cellphone) in his back pocket, which can press against the sciatic nerve, causing irritation.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure and cut the wood for the top, bottom, and sides of the jewelry box. Measure and cut the wood for the ends of the jewelry box. Sand the cut edges. Stain the wood. Make the sides. Make the base. Make the ends. Attach the sides. Use Vaseline to keep the lid from sticking. Make the top lid. Clamp the box to dry.

Answer: For this step, you'll need twelve pieces of wood that are cut to 240 mm and six pieces of wood cut to 248 mm, all about 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch for the height. Use a handsaw to cut the pieces. Make sure that the width and height of all 18 pieces of wood are exactly the same. Try to purchase wood sticks that are already pre-cut to be 1 inch wide and 1/4 inch high. That way you'll only need to worry about cutting the length. You'll need to cut 12 pieces at 50 mm each, with the same other dimensions as the other pieces (1 inch wide and 1/4 inch high). In order to removed the jagged edges left from cutting the wood, you'll need to lightly sand the edges with some sandpaper. To achieve the beautiful two-tone look, you'll need to stain half of the pieces of wood (of all sizes). So, separate each size of the wood pieces into two sections and apply wood stain to one group. Choose any wood stain color you like, as long as it contrasts with the existing wood color. Apply the stain generously and wipe off the excess with a paper towel or rag. You need to cover the surface area of both sides and the ends, but don't worry about getting all of the 1/4 inch side because these sides will be glued together. Let the stain dry completely (at least 4 hours) until you move on to the next step. Take the six pieces of wood that were cut to 248 mm and line them up. Each side of the jewelry box will be made out of three of the six pieces. Use wood glue to glue the pieces together lengthwise into two three-piece sections, making sure you alternate between the stained and unstained pieces to achieve the two-tone look. Wipe off any excess glue that leaks up between the cracks. Make sure the ends are lined up perfectly and then let the glue dry. You can clamp the pieces into place for a more secure, tight seal if you would like. To avoid gluing the wood to whatever surface you're working on, it might be helpful to lay down a piece of clear Saran wrap to work on. Alternating between stained and unstained pieces, line up six of the 240 mm pieces of wood on the Saran wrap to make the base. Glue the pieces together, but instead of lining up the ends, alternate them by 1/4 inch (so that the end pieces will fit inside the gaps). Line up the short end pieces that you cut (the 50 mm pieces), alternating stained and unstained pieces, on each end of the base. Each end will be six pieces long. Because of how you off-set the edges of the base, one piece will sit on the table and be flush with the base, while the next piece will sit on top of the base, and so on. Glue the sides of the jewelry box to the frame that you've made (out of the base and the ends). Let the frame dry fully before you move on. You can use some pieces of wood cut to fit the inside of the box to help the frame maintain its shape while it's drying. Apply a small coat of Vaseline to the off-set end pieces (the 50 mm pieces) to keep the lid from sticking to the frame with the excess glue when you glue it together. Glue the remaining six 240 mm pieces of wood to each other in place on top of the frame. As before, make sure to alternate between stained and unstained pieces. The pieces will fit into the existing slots made by the alternating off-set end pieces. Once all pieces are in place, you will have a perfect rectangular box. To help the jewelry box dry in the right shape, clamp the box on two sides with two hand clamps. Once the glue is dry, your jewelry box is finished.

Answer:
Being busy is a way to prevent negative thoughts from going around your head repeatedly. For depressed persons, the first step is often the hardest, so making yourself do things can be a huge difference in your day and getting you started. Engage in a hobby you enjoy or think you'll enjoy. Immerse yourself in it. It doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. As long as it's interesting it will serve the purpose. Care for pets. The routine involved in pets needing to be fed, groomed, and played with can be very satisfying for a depressed person. This is especially so because pets don't provide a sense of judgment, but only return love and acceptance. Introduce structure into your everyday life. Make a schedule of what to do every day, no matter how mundane, and gradually expand this as you start to feel better. It doesn't matter whether you work or not. A schedule can put some direction back into a day that might otherwise feel empty or aimless. Feeling down feeds on itself and it soon becomes a catch-22 when you convince yourself that you don't deserve to enjoy anything. The antidote is to do things that you used to enjoy or that are fun for people around you "one fun thing a day to keep the blues at bay." As with everything else, do this gradually. One fun thing a day, such as watching a beloved comedy or reading a funny book can give you a sense of fun for a while. Make time to laugh more. This can be watching comedy skits or tv shows that make you laugh, and learn how to take time and enjoy those moments more. Schedule positive events into your life. Go out to dinner, the movies, or for a walk with friends. Take it slowly. If you used to enjoy gardening, plant a single plant. If you used to enjoy a long walk, take a short one. Gradually build up to more enjoyable experiences. of your journey through your depression. Document your feelings somewhere personal and completely private. This will be the place where you let out your darkest thoughts no holds barred because you don't need to worry that anyone will judge you for them. A diary can become your collaborator in the struggle against your depression because it eventually provides you with great evidence of what improves your mood as well as what brings it down. Try to write in it daily if possible. This can be a good way of moving through your depression once it's better under control, and is often an ideal technique to use when your healing seems to have temporarily plateaued. Helping other people going through hardships removes your concentration from yourself and onto others, which can be good if you're prone to too much introspection. Don't overdo volunteering. If you become involved in charity or volunteer work and you feel exhausted or used up, that's a sign you're overdoing it or may not even be ready to help others just yet. It doesn't mean you won't be able to do this, but it does mean take care of yourself first.
