This is not a medical journal. I want to be more diligent about finding a mentor to help me grow, outside of my supervisor. We meet many in our lives that can become our coaches or mentors, for longer or shorter periods of time. I would not normally bother to tell you all three authors for one article in my blog. In my life.

I just know that ideas overwhelm me sometimes, and until I go to a doctor to get medication to calm my head down, I’m not convinced I need more interestingness in my life than my already-spinning head. Or maybe I am doing them both at the same time? I don’t know.

I'd like to add one idea from a mentor of mine, who led big organizations in both sectors. Health insurance is crucial for me because I have a pre-existing medical condition. I've been determined to be medically ineligible for health insurance by two different major insurance companies! Salesforce.com rocks!

Most people don't travel that far for medical procedures. Seriously though…in a recession you're blogging about having to travel to either ends of the country for beauty maintenance. It makes me wonder how 'down to earth' and realistic your life is if you can't get your hair done in the same state you live in.

In an otherwise banal article on tips for falling asleep, Web Worker Daily just shared some research about the rise in insomnia in the US ( [link] ) and I have little doubt that, apart from medical reasons, a lot of this comes from people who aren't being courageous enough to really take care of their life and concentrate on important things.

This can inevitably grow your network/career. ' Readers that follow you for ages may understand that it was passing or fluid, but an employer or distant mentor could look at that and completely misjudge your stance or capabilities. You also have sick and vacation time.

Every family have them: in-laws, sisters with nothing to do but worry about everyone else, parents, grandparents, weed-smoking crazy aunts or cousins, tragic cases of depression, alcoholism and a whole lot of medical terms. So you can be sure that you are not alone. A toast to us all.

The metro and public buses are so convenient (plus medical bills are cheap) so it might work to be both frugal and be accessible.

If they do survive they become stunted, lose their flowers, develop larger thorns and often have to be medicated to survive. Cactus have a right to be cactus, and to live in the desert, and to have prickles. I see neurotypicals as roses. Roses do not survive in the desert.

But the one and only thing that helps me keep my cool ALL THE TIME is medication. Not "make me stupid" medication, just "make me calm" medication. I've made a LOT of changes in my life, including all those "be better prepared so I don't freak out" changes, and get calmer, etc.

Trying to medicate yourself in order to deal with something is just not healthy. As I constantly am looking for ways to bring you successful ways to become better at career networking. So for a lot of people career networking is really hard. Very uncomfortable. And a place of little safety.
