Spending time alone

dhigambaram @dhigambaram (1132) • India 12 Feb 07

sydbhee These are great tips justreal. I have been exercising for some time now. There are times when I convince myself that missing one day is OK; until that one day somehow "mutates" into weeks!. I'll adopt some of your tips and see how it goes.

Loving someone with depression

foxyfire33 @foxyfire33 (10005) • United States 11 Feb 07

How do you deal with it and help them get the help they need? Whether it's a husband/wife/bf/gf depression can destroy a relationship. Right now I'm really struggling with the man I've been with for almost 6 years. He can't see...

sydbhee One important thing to understand is that he is not deliberatily being depressed. We used to have our youngest brother affected by depression. At first we used to chide him to "just snap out of it", until he told us that if he could do it he would have done it...

sydbhee You can say that again! These are energy drainers who rely on causing negativity in others to get their highs! Many people actually feel aggrieved by the success of others, in many cases particularly close relatives and friends. This occurs because of a...

sydbhee In one of my country's languages we say "do not eat a witch's brew out of politeness". The main issue here is to avoid eating what may be contaminated. At a service outlet it would be faily easy to walk away without it becoming an issue. However imagine if it...

Mylot compared to other online programs

DocterDew @DocterDew (902) • United States 4 Feb 07

hopeful28 @hopeful28 (1439) • Singapore 7 Feb 07

Should you ever keep a secret...

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 6 Feb 07

sydbhee One has to consider the result of revealing the secret. Secondly doesn't loyalty work both ways i.e. protecting your partner from hurt? I would find avoiding causing pain perhaps greater than the alternative. howevr as in life in general there are no...

Do you trust people?

COLLIS2 @COLLIS2 (479) • United States 6 Feb 07
