I am not a very religious person my any stretch of the imagination but I dont think I could be with someone vastly different beliefs wise. I think sometimes there are fundamental differences which might not be overcome.
I agree I like this ad, although I do feel it could be a little more graphic without being those horrible ones we turn over when they come on.
As for what to do.....I am not sure. My parents always advocated responsible drinking and from 16+ my father usually picked us from from the niteclub. We'd never have more than 2 or 3 and same with all our friends who he would drop home too. Ive seen my mother drunk twice in my entire life and my dad the same.
When I was 19 though, I had my one and only episode of backout from drinking too much. Have vague recollections of that evening but thats it. I know how much I drank that night....so I can only imagine what other people who seemingly frequently have backouts, how much they actually must consume to reach that point.
I did drink quite a bit in my mid 20's. I had a great job that took me all over the country, moving towns every 6-8 months so my social life was hetic. I had my own money and no responsibilities. I didnt care once I made it into work the next day and had enough money left for the next night out.
For me, my turning point came when i was pregnant and I couldnt tolerate the smell of it. I now drink very little, although on a rare occasion I will over indulge. But even then I will always finish the night on 7up or water. ANd I have never ever been drunk round my son and he's never seen me with a hangover either.
Uh oh, I might have to rethink any holiday ideas. I hear Portugal has cheap booze.[/quote
heading to portugal in 7 weeks from today and I cant bloody wait although I am not a big drinker so cheap drink is lost on me. plus not going to a place with a mad crazy nitelife.
I would reckon so. But in that instance, the correct treatment is needed. And sometimes medication is not the way to go. I know for me it probably prolonged things as at times the with-drawl symptoms were worse than anything I'd have felt otherwise.
I think people need to be aware of the many different types of help there is out there. It is not as simple as medication or therapy and nothing else. Its not a one-size fits all, treatment wise. Any sometimes people are too quick to medicate.
If its a table quiz then count me in for it...but i cant answer anything about irish politics. Other than that I am full of useless bits of information.
Just back from taking my dog for a walk along the beach. The moon is huge and bright and yellow and casting a gorgeous glow across the water. It was warm and calm with the sea barely making any noise. The tide was out so it was easy walking even though its rather dark. (oh and new pair of walking shoes....walking on the beach in them was like walking on a flat road....love em!)
No all mental health issues are permanent and with the right treatment and recognising the early symptons, then in my opinion, it could fall into the category of.......its something someone had once upon a time.
one of my best friends at college suffered from schizophrenia. We lived in the same house for a year too. It was tough at times. He was super super intense the vast majority of the time with occasional light moments. And the used to disappear mid sentence and not be seen again for a few days. But usually if there was an issue with his medication. That would be tough to deal with. But he was a sweetheart of a guy too.
I think a lot of people associate it with people hearing voices or having manic split personalities. Like a lot of things, people see the worst case scenario and attach that to everyone.
I choice would be the same as yours. However I differ on what you would also like to vote that you would never date someone suffering from it. As it is an illness and can be treated, most mental health issues can be dealt with to where they not longer become and issue....and can become just something someone had once. Other mental health issues are more long term and serious, needing constant or repeated care and attention.
It a funny illness.....as if you broke your leg or had cancer.....you would automatically go to the doctor...get help and use the help out there......BUT with a mental illness unfortunately there is still a stigma attached to it in some peoples eyes and therefore they dont look for help, nor do they get the right help. It is also something that it takes time to get over, and in this fast world or ours, people want quick fixes and they just dont work.
In the latter two cases I mentioned, no courts nor solicitors were used or needed. And in the first, it was a case of the mother walking out, so it was a open shut case as to who got the children in that one. That father was in a better place both financially, emotionally and responsibly to care for his children over their mother.
I am sorry but this is not a fact....i know personally of two fathers who have their kids living with them...one through the normal family court system....the other through the social services. I could also tell you of a situation very close to me whereby the child does not live with its mother and this was decided along with social workers. SO whereby your statement might sit for a lot of cases.....it by no means stands for ALL cases.....cos that FACT is just plain inaccurate.
MD....I would date someone would a similiar religion to my own, albeit that I am a non practising one. Dated a mormon for a while.....and the differences there just wouldnt have worked out long term.
Im with fifi on this one......as friends yes, I dont care what religion my friends are......as a partner, it'd need to be pretty similar.
I dont know what sort of mood I am in today but I've been thinking about the simple things that make me happy. I'm not talking about kids or friends but those random small stuff that we look forward to or enjoy.
For me its the warm sea breeze when taking my dog for a walk in the evenings.
Fresh cottage loaf...either one its own with butter.....or some homemade jam

sure stick you in a blackout room and you'd not have a clue.
