I always say I have the temperament of a cat. I’m pretty laid back but if I take offense the claws and teeth come out. Leave me alone and we’ll get along fine.
 Good question, what kind of temperament do you have? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. …... Desiderata Max Ehrmann |

I've always been good at occupying myself, unless I'm extraordinarily depressed/anxious. I'm project-oriented, so cooking, gardening, tasks related to my blog, online research, cleaning, and other things help focus my attention away from other things.

We had a really bad ice storm one year, lost power for over two weeks and a bunch of elderly people died because we had a cold front come in right after it and I'm assuming they froze to death; nearly everyone without a generator or wood stove had their pipes burst. I remember on like day 10 afterwards the fire department coming around and checking in on people and there still being trees in the road.
Have you ever read your psych. notes? Find anything interesting in there? __________________ If any chord that I could strum Make me feel less like a man I'd slam my fingers in the doorway And shatter all the bones So I could never strum again |

A: I have read my psychiatric notes once when transferring clinics. There was a lot of talk of wanting to tackle down a personality disorder, but I don't think that ever happened at my new clinic. Other than that, just the typical stuff you'd expect.
Q: What is the worst medication experience you've had? __________________

 and told me to keep on and give it time. Back then my pdoc was part of a huge teaching complex. So on my way out I stopped at the medical research room. I asked for the latest research on the two meds I was taking. The researcher apologized and said there wasn’t much just these three small reports. All three said it was extremely dangerous to combine these two meds and listed the symptoms that I had just reported to my pdoc. So I went back up to her office. Gave the articles to the secretary and asked her to show the doctor. Within an hour I was inpatient in the medical hospital being withdrawn from both meds!

yes- quite often I get bored before I get to the end of a show, and it's sad because in most cases, I really enjoy the shows..
I also cry at the end of shows, even if I don't really like them I litirally sobbed at the end of ammerican idle and no one could understand why. someone was like to me- but you've never watched an episode of american idle in your life, why are you so sad? and the truth is, I don't know,. still didn't eat for days over a show I never even watched. I sobbed too at the end of downton abby, but I'm really looking forward to the second movie coming out in march what is one tv show or one movie, you never want to watch again? |

Like tonight? In a word, yes.
Do you believe in a higher power, or are you a skeptic? |

I believe in a higher power for sure. I don’t have an answer for a lot of things. I was brought up strictly a particular religion but I think if we look across all different ones we would find commonality of some aspects.
Do you believe in life after death? |

It’s complicated, sort of reincarnation but without the sense of I, ego and Id. The spark of life goes on to spark another life weather it be a blade of grass or a animal

I don't think I know what that is.
If you are going to a restaurant (or getting take-out these days) with gourmet burgers, steaks, chicken, pork, shrimp, pasta and salads what do you choose?

Oh! Sorry that was supposed to say have it’s own energy! Yeah that made no sense.
Hmm tough choice can I have grilled shrimp 🍤 and a salad? Or a salad with shrimp in it? If money was no objet would you rent or own? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Haha, shrimp is what I'm choosing
 . (It's my brother's birthday celebration).Assuming i also was guaranteed stable health I'd own. I miss owning my house but I couldn't handle it any more. What i have no is pretty perfect; I live in a small house on my mom's property. I paid rent until the mortgage was paid off and now I don't have to do that. What kind of hair do you have?
