Birthday Blues

Submitted by Rainbow Dreams on Thu, 19/01/2012 - 15:10

Hi everyone, just needed to express a few things before I completely explode. Its my birthday today also and i'm finding this day really really tough. I feel completely overwhelmed by what I'm not entirely sure but maybe I'll figure that out as I type. I took this week of work for my birthday plus I felt I needed a week off to unwind as things were getting extremely intense in work. But instead of being able to relax things at home are far from relaxing. We have builders in this week, apparently my week off was the only week they could do.

Everything's not wrapped up in a neat little package - some LEARNING from this.

I was upset by a tense situation blowing up into a full-on argument last Wednesday. I felt angry both with myself and two others for handling a difference of opinion very badly. I felt frustrated that time had been wasted on a petty squabble. I felt guilty for not being more mature and rising above others' unfair behaviour. I felt confused about whether or not their treatment of me and the situation was all that unfair.

If you were the Health Minister’s adviser....

Hello Icebergers,
I hope everyone is keeping well and had a good start to the New Year…
Just was wondering about some matters and would like to hear your opinion.
When I was trying to find some interesting program on TV, I could not believe it how many programs are about loosing weight, I watched about r minutes Operation Transformation and had to stop, so sad, using vulnerable people for program like this I feel is very unethical, where will this stop?

What is your opinion about this matter?

Demi Lovato Says Disney Promotes Unhealthy Body Images to Young Girls

Demi Lovato attacked the Disney Channel on Twitter last week for mocking eating disorders and using increasingly smaller stars in their shows that cater to tweens. The network was quick to offer an apology, but experts say Lovato opened the Pandora’s Box about the dangerous effects television shows can have on the negative body image of young women.

I have a difficult relationship with my family. I am not close to any of my sisters and I have a tempermental relationship with my Mother. My Father and me get on really well but it causes jealousy among my three sisters and Mother. That's absolutely ridiculous and its something that makes me very angry. It doesn't even make any sense because out of all my sisters I have achieved the least and made the most mistakes so I don't know why he favors me. At the age of 27, I feel that somehow, things should be different and I at least should feel secure in myself, but I don't.

Question: If you had to name the top five gifts of being highly sensitive, what would they be?

Douglas:

1. Sensory detail

One of the prominent “virtues” of high sensitivity is the richness of sensory detail that life provides. The subtle shades of texture in clothing, and foods when cooking, the sounds of music or even traffic or people talking, fragrances and colors of nature. All of these may be more intense for highly sensitive people.
