How do I get over the loss of my father?

Time will heal, but you need to know he is going through a transition right now and soon will be happy and he will want you to move on and be happy. You need to talk to him in private and don’t need a sign, just need to know he is watching and loving you. Believe in life after death. While you are driving, you can talk to him and tell him how much you love him and miss him. Times when you are alone, speak to him and he will listen, when you need him. A transition supposedly lasts 2 to 6 months going over our life we had and learning from it. My father died 2.5 years ago and I still talk to him everyday.
Is fear of closed spaces a real disorder?
She should overcome this as she gets older and understands things in the world better. Not to worry, but talk to her. I used to service elevators and they are pretty safe.
How can I overcome negativity at my work place?
There is no special trick. You might need to consider another job before you become negative and not even know it. Money is not worth getting any disorder. I have left many jobs READ MORE
There is no special trick. You might need to consider another job before you become negative and not even know it. Money is not worth getting any disorder. I have left many jobs because of not being happy. I learned to work for myself and suffer in that manner and learn to not having a paycheck every Friday, etc. Then I worry about getting paid and I even do pro bono work and money is not worth being unhappy.
I am suffering from low self esteem with negative feelings about myself. Could I be depressed?
Yes, of course and yet you can overcome that. Either see a therapist or at least buy some books on the matter.
What causes depression in some people?
We all have times of gloom, as long as it goes away quickly. If it lingers on for weeks at a time, then you could use a therapist.
For how long does a course of treatment for depression normally last?
Depends how bad. Usually some give Medications and see them once a month for years. A good therapist should only see an individual as often as they feel they need the therapist. READ MORE
Depends how bad. Usually some give Medications and see them once a month for years. A good therapist should only see an individual as often as they feel they need the therapist. Remember many therapist will keep their clients as long as they can. It becomes about money and not ethics. But depression can take years or as less as 12 months
My child seems to be scared of going to school. How should I encourage him?
Try to talk to him and his teacher. His teacher might be able to watch out for him
My brother's illness bothers me a lot. I am sleep deprived and I need some help.
You should talk to his doctor about that and if he doesn’t have one he really needs one. In the meantime you have to set rules and timelines. He will listen and try to understand. READ MORE

Could there be another reason for my breathlessness or is it anxiety?
Hard to say, but I am sure it can be both. Stress does many things. Try seeing a therapist instead of a medical doctor, they will just put you on some medication.
I am unable to manage my stress. How can I help myself?
Try giving someone else some of the responsibility. If you feel there is no one who can do it, then you might have control issues and insecurities. You then need to see a therapist. READ MORE

I have OCD with an intense fear of sleep. How can I make peace with falling asleep?
Try reading or watching television until you are so tired, you fall asleep. And tell yourself that it is normal to sleep and your body works best with restful sleep.
Autism and Gender

Take it easy now. Yes, the male brain and the female brain is different and I have known that for years. Not everyone believes that. I am sorry for the ignorance of the world and this country. Politics and money controls everything it seems. Don’t be angry and now you are right and it is not fair, but deal with the present and future.
What could be the reason for my irregular breathing?
It might be a medical issue. Try sleeping on different sides, etc.
How can I help my separation anxiety with my baby?
Time will heal that usually. Once you see that she likes daycare and is safe, you should be more at ease. You will always miss her and think of her while she is away, but with READ MORE
Time will heal that usually. Once you see that she likes daycare and is safe, you should be more at ease. You will always miss her and think of her while she is away, but with today’s appointments of life, we have to deal with things that make us uneasy. My daughter had the same with two children, but things are better now and her 2-year old did it this year and he is 2.5 now. It was easier for her daughter going to daycare. Her son was not as mature as her daughter. Pick a good daycare that is my advice and as for your feelings, don’t be afraid if you are missing her and let her grow.
My 14-year-old daughter exhibits extremely moody behavior. Is this normal?
This a normal thing with many young teenagers which usually starts at age 14. The relationship between the daughter and the mother seems to crumble at times, but gets reunited READ MORE
This a normal thing with many young teenagers which usually starts at age 14. The relationship between the daughter and the mother seems to crumble at times, but gets reunited around age 18-20. You say, that long? May not be that long. A daughter becomes closer to her father at that time. If she has no father around, then she needs you more than ever. Try to be patient and love your daughter and always let her know no matter what, you love her and realize she is growing up and becoming a woman and her hormones are changing and she needs support. Bless you.
My brother's illness bothers me a lot. I am deprived of sleep. Please help.

Is biofeedback helpful?
It can be very helpful or not as much. It looks like it won’t make it worse for stress, etc. Go for it or research and try to learn to let things go. Easier said than done, but READ MORE

What causes negative thoughts in a person?
If this is something new for you, then maybe something is bothering you without you knowing what it is. If you were always negative at times, then maybe you need to talk or see READ MORE
If this is something new for you, then maybe something is bothering you without you knowing what it is. If you were always negative at times, then maybe you need to talk or see a therapist to understand more about your thoughts. I will tell you this, we all have times of gloomy and depressing times and negative thoughts, but we should snap out of it quickly, like minutes or hours and no longer. Just try to tell yourself, I need to think more positive and try to help yourself, if you want.
