    Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Back in the 80's I read a book by Joyce Landorf called "Irregular People". It fit the person in my life perfectly, who I have since come to realize is very narcissistic. It is still available but perhaps as a used book. She gives a good insight into people with this personality.

    coping skills for obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders

    I have anxiety disorder and panic attacks. I am prescribed a medication for the panic attacks and have been on it for several years. I know the Lord takes care of all things and has never let me down, but there is still fear inside when something goes wrong. I've had several situations that...

    Are you happy?

    I don't much enjoy my life at all. It's not a horrible life but things have just not gone the way I would have hoped. I had a lot of responsibility put on me as the oldest child, and then married somebody who turned out wanted somebody to take care of him. Then we had children and are now...

    "Bank Accounts Should Be Combined In Marriage." So How Do You Feel About Combining Debts?

    I could not be married to somebody that wanted to keep our incomes/accounts separate, but as far as debt goes it would depend on what the debt was. Was it necessary and intelligent or bad money decisions? The state I live in does not have community property, so I would not be responsible for a...

    Single Parenting

    God is your husband. I was a single mom for 15 years; my ex had court ordered no contact with the children. I only made it with God, financially, emotionally, mentally, etc. He knows your special needs and will not let you down. And strive to be in forgiveness for whatever wrong has been...

    LASIK eye surgery should be taken off market, ex-FDA adviser says

    There are probably lots of surgeries that have negative effects but we don't hear about them, including plastic surgery in particular. I personally wouldn't want somebody messing with my eyeballs but I know people who are very glad they had lasik

    Is boxing or martial arts an acceptable sport for conscientious Christians?

    Boxing has long term affects that are not so good. Martial arts is a discipline and you almost never hear of people using it to go after somebody unnecessarily. My son took one type and it was taught it is not for attack, it's for defense. It could be useful if you are attacked, but even then...

    Would you marry you?

    I would marry me. Somebody who has gone through serious hard times with the Lord and learned much from it is more down to earth than a person who has had a good life and doesn't have understanding of problems and pain. I've learned to live with plenty and learned to trust God for the next day...

    How has God helped you through trials and suffering?

    I'm sorry you're going through that. My parents are elderly and I felt the Lord wanted me to get a part time job and take my social security early to be around more for them. It can be frustrating on my end because they are slower and forget things and get confused, but they can't help it. I...

    When or why are you sad?

    I can hear a song from a time when life was better and that will bring tears. I've gotten rid of most objects I didn't need that would remind me too much of my past. As time goes on I realize the sad periods are fewer and farther between, or don't bring the sadness they used to. I still have...

    Drawing the Line

    I'll feed somebody by bringing them food but won't give them money or let them get in my vehicle. We have a lot of highway exits where I live where people stand with signs saying they're homeless. It's the same people every single day all day long all summer long. I feel conflicted about them...

    Knickers in a knot...or panties in a bunch!

    When people park crooked or too close to the line on one side, then everybody else has to follow suit or else park farther out. Also in winter when you can't see the lines so they park 5 feet from the car beside them and it's not a big enough space for a car to fit in, so you run out of spaces...

    Halloween...

    I never saw it as a way to celebrate the dead. It was a fun time to dress up and go out to get candy, or go to a party with games. My kids participated in the fun part, not the gruesome, evil stuff that is out there. It was fun for them to be a character from a cartoon or movie like Toy...

    Stalkers

    I met a man in my church years ago after my divorce that eventually did a 180 on me and I said we're done. That's when he started following me everywhere and calling not only me but my kids as well. I immediately started keeping a log of when he called (and got my phone number changed) as well...
