Re: #63507 - as god is my witness, I'll never go hungry agai

This is something I'm working on. I used to not date anyone who couldn't spell. It drove me nuts when guys couldn't spell and was one of my requirements that they be able to spell. I equated spelling to intelligence. I know that that is not always the case but I am a weird spelling fanatic. One time...

Re: #63550 - Holy Holiday Observance (Vacations on the Sabba

I grew up with going on vacations not doing anything different on Sundays than any other vacation day. My family's philosophy was that we were only on vacation for a certain amount of time so we should do as much as we can in that limited time. In fact, every other LDS family I knew growing up did t...

Re: Polygamy

I decided to google cognitive dissonance so I was getting a better picture of what it meant. Here's the link I found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance Yes, it is from wikipedia so keep that in mind when reading it. But I found it very helpful.

Re: My best friend

Thanks for the idea. His birthday is in may, four days away from mine so I might talk to his friends and see if we want to do that. We did have a wake for him on Monday but that involved a lot of crying as we all miss him so very much. I think I'm also going to ask his mom or brother if I can see hi...

My best friend

My best friend of 10 years committed suicide on Sunday morning. I'm obviously struggling with this especially because he called me a few days before with severe suicidal ideation and I talked to him for an hour and a half but didn't do anything else about it. I was hoping that I would get closure by...

Re: What about Bob?

mico, I think you're right that Leo is disregarded and that in a general way he is paranoid. Just not in the DSM sense. :) Anyway, I hope I didn't offend you at all! That was not my intent, I promise. My intent was to get more input on what other's thoughts were and to add my own as well.

What about Bob?

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/62121/ I LOVE this movie!!! I actually just watched it two weeks ago. But I do disagree with some of mico's diagnosis'. Just as a sidenote, no I am not a professional counselor, yet. (I will be in May though!) So while I have been doing diagnosing at my internship,...

Re: Respect for choices

I took your question to a few of the ladies at my work (who obviously have s.a. issues) and asked their thoughts. They were saying that they thought that it was because it is such a difficult thing to go through that if you haven't, then you can't relate as well. Booksmarts can only get you so far. ...

Re: Respect for choices

I definitely have my opinions on this! Just as a background, I work in a detox facility for women and I have my internship doing counseling for adults with substance abuse (s.a.). In my experience, there are certain people who have more of a predisposition towards addictions. Not just substance addi...
