death

644988 tn?1236364548 Psychiatry is learning to understand different cultures and how they interpret dreams and different cultures in general. I have a copy of the DSM-4 from when I took an "abnormal psychiatry" class and it has a whole section on that, how what may appear to be abnormal is just a cultural difference and should be appreciated as such.

Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.

Avatar f tn for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???
Avatar f tn I'm not sure. It probably depends on the reason they're doing the culture. The best thing to do is probably to just call the doctor's office and ask. They usually have a nurse-line where you can leave a message and then they'll call you back with an answer. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I had my first son, Jeremiah, 3years ago. My husband and I really wanted a girl, but when we found out it was a boy, I actually found myself to be UPSET. For a while after I found out, I walked around wishing I wasn't pregnant with him. Of course I love my son to death, and can't imagine life without him. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm having this mothers instinct that its a girl. But I don't want to go through the disappointment again.
Avatar f tn My grandson comes out in a rash every time he was taken to the swimming pool in my town, but not when taken swimming at a different pool in the next town. I enquired about the chemicals that are added to each, and they were in fact different. It is right that the health department has got involved and that the chemicals in the water in the pool is checked.

Avatar m tn Its a virus that enters a nerve either at the oral area from deep kissing with an infected partner or its contracted in the genital area and again through a nerve from sexual contact with an infected person. In both areas the virus travels through the nerve and resides in the base of the spine or with oral at the top of the spine avoiding antibodies. It comes to the surface mostly as blister type or razor type sores.
Avatar n tn If I were you I would try to find a relaxing place and get away from all the negative feed back in your life. That only adds fuel to your misery.. As far as dealing with it alone yeah you could try but I would try to find a group that could relate with me. Once you do that you can talk and people understand exactly what you are saying and going through. I know its tough especially when family says Oh be quiet its in your head!
10962624 tn?1421804372 I should add, there's nothing actually special about the New Year. It's an arbitrary thing -- different cultures don't even share the same date. Just have fun with it, it isn't real, it's an artificial time to have a celebration and clear your slate to start over.

732810 tn?1232129554 Hi, I am having a very difficult time dealing with family without having modd swings. I am trying to go to meetings, but my schedule and family situations are keeping me from doing so. Funny, I could have gone to bars and just neglected family in the past, but now, I am dealing with family situations and trying to be present. However, my children and my husband are DRIVING ME CRAZY. I keep serenity prayering and it helps for a little bit.
Avatar f tn In October I had raised bumps near my genitals. They never scabbed; just went away. I went to the dr anyway and he said herpes and gave me a blood test. The blood test results were igm negative and igg . 98-eqivocal. The dr said I was positive. I went on my own to a lab (BBB approved) three months later and their results were igg and igm results were .91- negative. I went back to the dr recently for an open sore on the perineum and around the anus.

If there is anyone out there going threw the same thing it would be great to hear from u, even someone who has a heads up on what I will be all going threw would be great too.
Avatar f tn It's basically a form of inflammatory bowel condition that they can't pin a definitive 'name' on. Some of the wording sounds like the pathologist was leaning toward microscopic colitis, but didn't have enough parameters to go on. They appear to have ruled out collagenous colitis, however. All-in-all, you're dealing with an inflammatory bowel problem, and it probably should be treated as such. If your doc is leaning toward the idea of M.C.
