HOROSCOPES FOR THE DAY
CAPRICON
A positive attitude doesn't always guarantee a positive outcome, but it makes the journey so much sweeter. Why choose to think negatively, or worry that things won't pan out the way you want them to? You have no way of knowing, so it makes a lot of sense to just go ahead and assume that the outcome will be a good one. It will help you stay smiling. Plus, it will make you a lot more fun to be around. This is a good time to balance your social world and your work world.
AQUARIUS
Try to start a casual conversation with a powerful person today. With the level of charm you possess right now, it will probably be the smartest move you've made in a long time. This is a great chance for you to get to know how this person thinks and why they think what they think. You might even be able to find out what they think of you, which will lead to some amazing opportunities. Do not be afraid to share your visions and divulge some of your ideas.
PISCES
Your 'to do' list might be bigger than a phone book today, but you can't do it all by yourself all in one day! So take it easy on yourself, and put some energy into figuring out a way to delegate a few tasks, reschedule some meetings and push back a few deadlines. Take yourself out of the running for 'perfect person of the year' -- the title might be nice, but it isn't much fun earning it! Requiring a little bit less of yourself enables you to succeed a whole lot more.
ARIES
After getting so much work done recently, you are feeling more grounded and focused regarding your future than ever before. Things that were too intimidating yesterday are not so bad right now and you can actually see a way around an obstacle for the first time in a long time. You're about to ride a serious wave of positive energy, so hang on! As the petty people squabble over petty things, you're able to rise above and spend your time on more productive things.
TAURUS
Do not let yourself worry too much about how other people perceive you, today -- being self conscious will hold up your progress considerably and cause you unnecessary stress. Forming your opinions based on majority rule might seem like the easy way out, but in the end it will put you in uncomfortable, false situations. Being popular is not worth sacrificing your independent thinking. So do what you want to do -- and ignore what other people think.
GEMINI
Someone's words are going to be very confusing to you today, but it might not be worth the effort to figure out what exactly they are trying to say. Why do you want to wear yourself out trying to meet them halfway when they aren't concerned with helping you understand them at all? If this person needs you to get their point, then they are going to have to sharpen it for you. You need to stop working so hard to make things so easy for other people!
CANCER
One of your more fun friends may not feel like coming out to play. If that happens, you need to give them space and not try to make them feel guilty for leaving you to fend for yourself in an unfamiliar social situation. You don't need them to make connections, even though you might think you do. This is a great opportunity for you to remind yourself how charming and interesting you are to other people, so don't miss it! Being solo just means that there's no one to cramp your style.
LEO
Keep the chit-chat short and sweet today, and you will create a sense of mystery about yourself. People will be very intrigued! When they come to you with suggestions or advice, listen closely and then act on what they say. This won't be a very aggressive day for you -- you'll be content to let others make the decisions and let others get the glory. You don't need a lot of praise from outside sources to understand your true value and worth.
VIRGO
Feel like you are ready take a risk just to mix up your life and add a little bit more fun to it? Try turning your weekend social plans over to someone else for a little while. See what they can come up with -- it's definitely going to be different from anything you've been considering! When you put yourself in the hands of someone who does things differently than you do, there is sure to be a lot of excitement in store! When you don't know what to expect, you can expect to have fun!
LIBRA
Try to keep all your interactions light and breezy today -- if you can avoid getting too heavy with your friends or family members, you will create a day that is easy and pleasant. Save any deep discussion for another time, when people are more receptive to rehashing old issues and talking about deep stuff. No one is in the mood for introspection and thoughtful discourse right now. Getting too serious could put a damper on the good times.
SCORPIO
Are you nervous about having your willpower tested today? You shouldn't be. You have a good understanding of what is at stake if you succumb to temptation, and you have a lot of internal strength in your heart. You also understand now more than ever that a short term gain will only cost you more in the long run. So just keep your eyes on the prize and say 'thanks but no thanks' to the temptations coming your way. You can do it, you only have to believe in yourself.
SAGITTARIUS
You have to start expressing yourself more clearly today, whether you feel comfortable doing it or not. Sharing your feelings can be scary, but it can also be quite cathartic. Not only can talking it out help you work through weird feelings, it can help you redefine your values and really understand what you want out of a new relationship. You're starting to feel more comfortable by yourself, so people need to offer more than just their company to pique your interest. Love is a great thing

Friday, December 26, 2008Depression is more than just occasionally having the blues.
Depression is a mood disorder.
You feel sad and have no joy in life.
You may feel that you have nothing to live for.
Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps.
Symptoms of depression include:
~Trouble sleeping or excessive sleeping
~A dramatic change in appetite, often with weight gain or loss
~Fatigue and lack of energy
~Feelings of worthlessness, self-hate, and inappropriate guilt
~Extreme difficulty concentrating
~Agitation, restlessness, and irritability
~Inactivity and withdrawal from usual activities
~Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
~Recurring thoughts of death or suicide
Low self esteem is common with depression.
So are sudden bursts of anger and lack of pleasure from activities that normally make you happy, including sex.
The main types of depression include:
~Major depression
--> five or more symptoms listed above must be present for at least 2 weeks, but major depression tends to continue for at least 6 months.
(Depression is classified as minor depression if you have fewer than five depression symptoms for at least 2 weeks. In other words, minor depression is similar to major depression except it only has 2 - 4 symptoms.)
~Atypical depression
--> occurs in about a third of patients with depression.
Symptoms include overeating and oversleeping.
These patients tend to have a feeling of being weighed down and react strongly to rejection.
~Dysthymia
--> a generally milder form of depression that lasts as long as two years.
Other common forms of depression include:
~Postpartum depression
--> many women feel somewhat down after having a baby, but true postpartum depression is rare.
~Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
--> depressive symptoms occur one week prior to menstruation and disappear after you menstruate.
~Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
--> occurs during the fall-winter season and disappears during the spring-summer season.
Likely to be due to lack of sunlight.
Depression may also occur with mania (known as manic-depression or bipolar disorder).
In this condition, moods cycle between mania and depression.
Depression is more common in women than men and is especially common during the teen years.
Depression often runs in families.
This may due to your genes (inherited), learned behavior, or both.
Even if your genes make you more likely to develop depression, a stressful or unhappy life event usually triggers the onset of a depressive episode.
Depression may be brought on by:
~Alcohol or drug abuse
~Childhood events like abuse or neglect
~Chronic stress
~Death of a friend or relative
~Disappointment at home, work, or school
(in teens, this may be breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, failing a class, or parents divorcing)
~Drugs such as sedatives and high blood pressure medications
~Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), cancer, or hepatitis
~Nutritional deficiencies (such as a lack of folate and omega-3 fatty acids)
~Overly negative thoughts about one's self and life, self blame, and ineffective social problem solving skills
~Prolonged pain or having a major illness
~Sleeping problems
~Social isolation (common in the elderly)
Healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent depression, or lessen the chances of it happening again.
These habits include eating properly, sleeping adequately, exercising regularly, learning to relax, and not drinking alcohol or using drugs.
Counseling may help you through times of grief, stress, or low mood.
Family therapy may be particularly important for teens who feel blue.
If you feel socially isolated or lonely, try volunteering or getting involved in group activities.
