Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder | Symptoms and Treatment | All Natural Therapy and Self Help
Definition - Borderline Personality Disorder is a defined as a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. The instability of BPD often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self-identity. Originally thought to be at the "borderline" of psychosis, people with BPD suffer from a disorder of emotion regulation. While less well known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 2% of adults, mostly young women or by another estimate, 1-3% of the general population. Some suggest that the name itself, Borderline Personality Disorder, is an inappropriate term for this disorder, or "a misleading label". The disorder has nothing to do with neurosis or psychosis, but rather involves emotional volatility, what one reporter described as "a [very] thin emotional skin". 1. 2.

The Human Experience | Cosmometry
The human experience of cosmometry is as vast as the innumerable volumes of books we've written over the millenia describing what it's like to live in this universe of constant change and epic proportions. Our bodies and the environment in which we live are synergetically united in a continuous interchange of energy and consciousness — "reality" and our "perception" of it. And as with all things in the cosmos, our bodies and awareness of life within us and without us have the same fundamental relationship to the source and to each other, as is natural in a holographic cosmos. What follows is a simple introduction to the human experience of cosmometry. The One Point Ki energy permeates the entire cosmos. In the cosmometry of the human experience, the One Point is the center of the torus of our energetic presence embodied. In Aikido we learn four basic principles: The Hara Line Along with the One Point are two more energy centers, or tan t'ien, on this line.
What are microexpressions?
After taking just one look at someone, why do we sometimes immediately know we don't like him or her? We usually chalk this up to instinct, intuition or a "gut feeling," but researchers have found that there's something more going on that just barely meets the eye -- microexpressions. The human face is a medium, or a sign vehicle, that sends us a message. When we "read" a face, there's quite a lot of data to sift through. One part of the medium is its basic structure and muscle tone. Is it long and angular or round and chubby? Providing more immediate information are the changes in a person's face, such as smiles, frowns or scowls. When we communicate, we try to collect as much verbal and nonverbal information as possible.

Switch in nerve pain medication: Pregabalin to Gabapentin - Recovering from Surgery
Hi all, as some may know I underwent an L4 / S1 PLIF in February this year, and have been making progress in my recovery over the last several months and beginning a phased return to work. I have recently been discharged by my surgeon who was very happy with my progress, but suspect the discharge was more so because my insurer closed my case as their policy dictates having undergone surgery that after 5 months I should have recovered, or else I must be suffering a chronic condition which they don't cover! I am now under my GP's care, although I can always get referred back to my surgeon should the need arise. I have been taking Pregabalin since 4 weeks post op, to combat my nerve pain which if anything has gotten worse as I have pushed my recovery and return to work etc. Appreciate any input, Thanks, Nick
Geometrical Psychology: Benjamin Betts’s 19th-Century Mathematical Illustrations of Consciousness
by Maria Popova “Imagination receives the stream of Consciousness, and holds apart and compares the different experiences.” “What makes a mathematician is not technical skill or encyclopedic knowledge,” Paul Lockhard recently wrote, “but insatiable curiosity and a desire for simple beauty.” But what if this mathematical curiosity and desire for beauty were applied to questions that have perplexed scientists and philosophers for millennia — questions about consciousness, what it is, how it works, and how it shapes our lives? That’s precisely what New Zealander Benjamin Betts set out to do in the 19th century with his unusual diagrams of consciousness, collected in the 1887 tome Geometrical Psychology, or, The Science of Representation (public domain), a predecessor to Julian Hibbard’s geometric diagrams of love.
