Q: While you may want to try, suppressing or denying the panic attack can make it worse. Accept what's happening by telling yourself, "I'm having a panic attack." Admitting it might feel like you're giving up, but it's an important way to look at the situation logically. By maintaining your awareness, you can work through the panic attack. If anyone is around you, tell them you're having a panic attack as well, and you need some time to get through it. Replacing the negative thoughts and feelings with happier thoughts can help get you through the attack. Think about things that make you laugh or make you happy. Focus on these positive thoughts to distract yourself.If you're at home, try looking at some pictures of your family or pets to cheer yourself up. You can also look at pictures on your phone if you're out.
A: Acknowledge that you're having a panic attack. Distract yourself from the panic attack with a happy memory or thought.

Q: If you have a hard time remembering appointments or your to-do list, write them down! Use one thing to track everything go on in your life, whether it's a calendar app, a paper planner, or just a plain notebook. Refer to it often and check things off as you complete them. If this is a digital notebook or app, having a backup copy somewhere would be a very good idea. If you find you can't remember where you left objects you need every day, assign a place for them. When you first assign everything its place, write them down. That way you'll have a list you can refer to until you get accustomed to where everything is. For example, you could: Install a hook by the door for your keys. Always leave your cell phone and wallet on your desk. Keep your checkbook in a drawer in the kitchen. Everyone has things they need to do every day. Turn yours into a routine, where you do your daily tasks in the same order, at the same time, every single day. Eventually, the routine will become second nature and you won't have to worry about forgetting to do something. While you're getting used to your routine, schedule it in a planner or notebook every day. Note what time you'll get up, make coffee, brush your teeth, make dinner, clean dishes, and get ready for bed. Short-term memory loss might make you feel embarrassed, but most people won't mind repeating themselves if you ask. This way, you know that you won't have to remember things, and some of the pressure will be taken off of you. You can say something like, "please forgive me if I've already asked you this. But would you mind reminding me where the room is for the conference?" This is a great tool for everybody to master, not just for people who suffer from short-term memory loss. Mnemonics is the technique of attaching a word, phrase, or image to an object. This skill can be very powerful, and the memorization will stick in your brain like super glue. Perhaps you've never heard of mnemonics, but ask yourself: "Self, how many days are in September?" Chances are, the first thing that popped into your mind was "30 days hath September." If you meet a woman named Zoe, rhyme a feature on her face with her name. It doesn't even have to make sense. "Zoe, eyes aglow-y," for example. Make yourself laugh with your mnemonic. Make your memory aid a rude limerick, as in "The new boss's name is Vig Ronson, who's rumored to have a...," etc. (Fill in the blanksit's good for your memory!) If you need to memorize something important and you're finding it difficult to do so, separate the information into smaller groups. Try this technique with grocery lists, birthdays, names or other things you want to remember. The most common example of chunking is phone numbersinstead of trying to remember one 10-digit number, most people find it easier to remember two 3-digit numbers and one 4-digit number, like 123-456-7890.
A: Write everything down. Make sure everything has its own place. Stick to a routine. Ask people to repeat themselves. Use mnemonics. Try "chunking" information.

Q: As you might know, lice are little about the size of a sesame seed and can be white, brown, gray, or dark gray. They're most common around the ears and the back of the neck, and feed off of human blood. Nits are much more noticeable on darker-colored hair but lice is more noticeable on lighter hair. The most common symptom of head lice is itchiness in and around the back of the neck. In many children, lice don't produce any symptoms until weeks or months after they've moved in. For this reason, it's important to do regular visual check-ups with a fine-toothed comb in order to spot an infestation as early as possible. Doctors recommend combing for lice after the child has taken a bath/shower, while their hair is still wet. Because head lice commonly affect young children in school, it's important to be vigilant about situations in which children may share certain objects. Although you probably want to encourage your children to share certain things, you probably want to discourage them from sharing the following: Hats Headbands Hair accessories Pillows Combs Any other objects that promote direct head-to-head contact between a carrier and potential carrier. Obviously, although lice are irksome, they're not to be avoided like an infectious disease. Instead, be aware of anyone who may have had lice or is being treated. Knowledge is power. If somebody had lice and was treated, but it has not been two weeks since their treatment, make sure you try to avoid contact with any of their fabrics. You don't have to be afraid of them, but casually avoid situations which involve contact with them, especially head-to-head contact. Lice can commonly occur in schools or summer camps. If your school or camp doesn't give out regular checks, ask the nurse for one every once in a while. If the nurse is unavailable, schedule an appointment with your child's general practitioner to check for lice. Lice is especially common among elementary aged children during winter.
A: Know the symptoms. Teach your kids the importance of not sharing certain items. Be aware of lice carriers. Get checked.

Your doctor may recommend you get some diagnostic tests. While supplements are generally considered safe, they aren't right for everyone.
