I get my hair done through pressing or flat iron, but recently i have been getting a Dominican blow out and the heat is excruciating, I almost cried when getting it done, and my leg was shaking. Is there anyway to calm my nerves and maybe get some kind of pain tolerance for this heat?
P.S.>>>. I have spoken to several people who have gotten it and said it didn’t burn or hurt, why am I crying over it.

I would like to have comments and recommendations.

I want to go on a detox so I don’t want to go to the dining hall and be tempted by the food/ not eat anything there when I go with friends. My friends for some reason think I have an eating disorder, so I need to come up with excuses for why I’m not eating– they won’t understand why I’m doing a detox.

What are some good excuses?

Low levels of seratonin are found to cause depression.
What about high levels of the neurotransmitter, seratonin?

Thanks!

I’m a 16 year old girl in good health,

Meds I’m taking:
Efexor XR – 75pm daily
Seroquel – 50 mg daily

I also take a metabolism advantage tablet and 2 types of rapid burn pills daily. Not much tho.

I get heart palpitations rather frequently. Usually at night when I’m in bed or when I’m at school. Would any of these be the cause of it? It’s not bad or anything, just annoying sometimes.

I’m in an acting/theater class and whenever I do group scenes I feel really comfortable.
The other day I did an introduction by myself and I felt really nervous!

Tomorrow I have a monologue to do and right now I feel comfortable cause I know all my lines but that’s right now lol.
I don’t know how I’m going to feel when I’m on stage by myself.

What are some tips you know on how to deal with nervousness?

I’m going to be attending a university next year. I’m really interested with eating disorders and helping people. I was wondering how would I become a certified eating disorder specialist in nutrition like what would i major/minor in college and any other information you know would be really helpful. Thank you so much.

Would medical marijuana be effective at treating anxiety mostly Social Anxiety? I hear the indica type has some interesting effects that could help me relax?

Okay I was or am schizophrenic and throughing one of my episodes I would see people all strange and well some of that memory hasn’t gone away…so now when ever I see someone I remember because of some facial features we all share. So my question is can Hypnotherapy stop me or reduce how often I remember these bothering and annoying reminders.

I really want to become an eating disorders psychologist, i know that you need a degree in psychology and nutrition, but that’s it! I want to know:
1)what an eating disorder psychologist does?
2)what options at school/ college do you take?
3)do you need to go to university?
4)i heard it is best that you get experience working with eating disorder patients, where would you get the experience? does it need to be paid or voluntary?

Thank you for your time, please answer any questions that you know the answer to, any answers are really appreciated! =)

i had hypnotherapy recently for OCD, and during it, while she was telling me to imagine a time when i was very happy, and then a time where my OCD had been in charge of me and how it felt, i started to cry. I don’t know why because none of those things upset me. Is it normal to cry during hypnosis?

I have completely a diploma in psychology and am very interested in the human mind and how it works. Along with my interest of helping people, I am actually considering a self-employed career in hypnotherapy. But before I seek certification and training in this field, I want to find out how viable and lucrative a profession it is.

Also, how do we even know what a chemical balance is? Please don’t mention brain scans because that doesn’t prove anything. How do we know if we have too much or too little dopamine, for example? Maybe these mental chemical imbalances wouldn’t exist if pharmaceutical companies didn’t push their pills on everybody. Believe me, drug companies would be really happy if every single person in USA was on some pschotropic drug, e.g. zoloft, paxil, you name it.

What to say and do to support them?
