What It Means to You

 

Take Action Now… Keep your Mental Health in Good Condition

 

 

 

Everyone around you affects your mental health and you, in turn, affect theirs.

This can be good or bad depending… Do your friends and Family help you keep

Balance and Control in your life or do they help promote the opposite?

Take the time to relax and think about the things festering around in your head.

Talking about the problems you are having also helps a great deal. Finding someone to confide in is very important.

Clearing your brain each evening of all the days’ worries is one way to keep your brain from being clogged with unnecessary bullshit.

Remember…

Your mental health is important.

You will not have a healthy body if

You don’t also take care of your mind.

You have to take care of yourself

To take care of the people who

Depend on you, your strength,

And your well-being.

 

Promote your own mental health

By keeping up with people and

Activities you enjoy.

Find support when you need it.
 

Remember that by caring for your

Mental health and getting help

When you need it, you can

Enjoy life at any age.

Don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask for help…

Everyone needs help at some point.

FIVE TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDERS

  • Posted on May 2, 2009 at 6:41 pm

There are Five major types of Anxiety Disorders:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

 

 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

 

 

Panic Disorder

 

 

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

 

 

Social Phobia (or Social Anxiety Disorder)

Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder. More about Anxiety Disorders »

Divorce ~ A Dirty Way To Win The Battle

Read more about TIFFI

In my opinion, divorce battles these days can turn into one of the most horribly vindictive ways to get back at your spouse. It mostly turns into an outrageous fight for who will get the most material assets and most importantly, MONEY.

In the past, I would say it was “usual” when husband and wife separate, kids usually stay with mom, when the custody and divorce hearings come around the outcome could become somewhat predictable. In most cases, Mom gets the kids, Dad gets to pay child support and only see the kids on the weekends. Well, boy have times changed!

Think about how much money Dad would have to pay for say… 3 little girls. Especially when Dad initiates the Divorce. Hmmm. I guess Dad needs to find a “better way”or should I say “more financially economic way” to get through this Divorce and WIN CUSTODY OF HIS KIDS. Not to mention — NO CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS!! Think about how lovely that must sound to an underminded person who is paranoid that they will have to pay out of their ass for just about the rest of their lives…

Well, I found a document, while searching on Google called HOW TO SEEK A DIVORCE AND WIN IN ONE EASY STEP. This document actually encourages the reader to file false domestic abuse charges against their spouse to use as leverage in the divorce proceedings. These FALSE allegations are actually a solid blockade for the accused party in a pending divorce/custody battle.

Statistics show that, in most cases, it is a woman who is being abused. If she reports the abuse, her abuser would be arrested for domestic violence, and she is then given the decision on whether she would like to file a PROTECTION FROM ABUSE (PFA) order.

If a PFA is filed, the accused abuser automatically:

  • Loses possession of or is evicted from the marital home
  • Temporarily loses custody of the children for up to twelve months. Custody may be permanently lost for two or more years
  • Ordered to pay temporary child support and/or Alimony to the plaintiff
  • Is prohibited from entering or coming within 25 feet (most cases) of the plaintiffs’ residence, school, family, business, etc.
  • Ordered to have no further contact with the plaintiff or her family
  • Ordered to pay ALL of the expenses of the plaintiff, such as loss of earnings, attorney’s fees, medical bills and/or moving expenses
  • Lastly, the accused abuser is restrained from any further abuse


If you think you may need PROTECTION FROM ABUSE please CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or for more information contact A WOMANS PLACERead entire document~HOW TO SEEK A DIVORCE AND WIN IN ONE EASY STEP
