I Wish The World Wasn’t So Full of Disease and Shitty People

These past few months have been an extremely hard time. My grandpa got lung cancer and ended up dying at the beginning of September. He went downhill pretty quickly but we don’t exactly know when he initially got it. Then my husband’s sister was diagnosed with liver cancer and ended up passing late September. A month before that his grandma passed and on Nov 1st around midnight, his niece was hit by a drunk driver which messed her up pretty badly. She was in the icu for a couple weeks and now she’s in the trauma unit recovering from surgery. Thankfully she survived and is making progress.

On the same night as her accident, my sisters husband decided to leave her for a young girl. It is seriously a shock to us all that he would act out this way considering they’ve been together for 9.5 years and married for 2 with 3 kids and she just found out she’s pregnant again.

I seriously don’t know how much depressing news I can take. This one angers me because we let him into our lives and treated him like family then he goes and does this to our loved one.

I get that people fall out of love all the time and go their separate ways but at least ask for a divorce before you go try to get into someone else’s pants and surely wear a damn condom so you don’t have 4 kids who are now going to be raised in a broken home. I’m upset she is pregnant so soon since she has an almost 9 month old and a 2 year old. So 3 kids under the age of 3…ugh. I seriously don’t know how she’s going to do it all by herself.

I can’t stress myself over it though. I’m already breaking out badly over all of this.

I wish the world wasn’t so full of disease and shitty people.

I would have really liked to get to know both my grandpa and sister in law much better. She was such a great person and didn’t deserve to leave earth this early.

That Time of Year When Depression is Rampant

That Time of Year When Depression is Rampant

Among various types of mental issues, depression takes number one position when it comes to number of affected people. It is so common that almost everyone had at least one depressive episode during his life. Symptoms of the condition affect both body and mind, causing severe social problems for a patient.

People like to behave as doctors and set up their own diagnosis. Because of this, and because of the fact that most people had experienced something similar to depression, we tend to disregard real disease when it happens. Individuals perceive it as a passing issue that can remedied with help of the friends. Unfortunately, oftentimes depression has strong roots in childhood. There needs to be some traumatic experience that led to this illness. Due to this, patient will be forced to go to psychotherapy and to buy Wellbutrin online or some other medication for major depressive disorder.

Depression is a state of low mood that needs to persist for at least two weeks. Any other behavior that lasts for shorter period of time cannot be called depression. It is natural to feel down from time to time. But, illness is much different from passing feeling of sadness because it persists and patient is unable to do anything to help himself. Even though basic symptoms resemble sadness and bad mood, there is much more to depression than this. Person affected by it will lose confidence and self-esteem. He will not be to perform at school or at work due to lack of focus. Furthermore, he won’t be able to accomplish set goals or to finish things which he started. Patient’s social life will also take a hit. He will slowly withdraw from his family and friends. He will not be able to communicate with them or with anyone else. Social interaction and making new friends will be almost impossible. Besides these symptoms, individual will also experience some other physical issues such as insomnia and loss of weight. The worst thing about this condition is the fact that it often leads to suicide.

This illness often has roots in childhood. Individuals, who were abused, mistreated or lacked love, will suffer from the disease later on in life. Often, there needs to be a trigger that will make all those emotions from childhood resurface. Like with any other mental illness of today, our environment can be the cause of disturbance. Noise, pollution, impact of other people, can all lead to it. Of course, people who have genetic predisposition for depression or mental sicknesses are more likely to develop it.

Major depressive disorder, as well as seasonal affective disorder, can easily be treated with Wellbutin. Specialists from You! Drugstore warn consumers that use of medication is not enough to battle this disease. Individual will also have to visit therapist. But, if you use Wellbutrin, you are able to eliminate most of the symptoms making your day go better. Patients who have seizure or epilepsy disorder, those who suddenly stopped using alcohol or those with eating disorder, should avoid this drug.

Skip the Expensive Name Brand Formula

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Perrigo, the makers of Members Mark Infant Formula. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ever since my little one was born, I’ve had to supplement, only because she wasn’t getting enough breast milk, which people swear is not true and only hinders your milk production. Honestly, it was a secondary option that I don’t regret because I now have a happy, healthy baby.

At around 1 month, she decided she didn’t want as much formula and we basically just breast fed. I was initially worried that she wasn’t getting what she needed since she cut back on ounces eaten drastically. But we had a 2 month check up with her pediatrician and she was doing great with weight. She has actually been in the 97 percentile for weight ever since her 2 month check up and she is now 6 months old.

We still feed her formula at night when my supply is lower since she’s still hungry. That’s just what works for us and our baby.

The formula we go with now is Members Mark Advantage Infant Formula from Sam’s Club since it has the same nutritional value as Similac Advance and is a fraction of the cost (club members save around $500 buying Members Infant Formula products compared to Similac and Enfamil). I also love the fact that it’s designed to be more like breast milk, so that I know my baby is getting best of both worlds.

I’ve noticed that with some store brands of formula, they tend to be awfully foamy which in turn creates gas in your little ones tummy, but Members Mark Advantage Infant Formula does not have that issue thankfully. But if yours does, my tip to you is to get some baby gas drops and stick a couple drops into your bottle of formula. It will instantly take the foamy bubbles away!
