Thanks to Beyond Blue reader Barbara who forwarded this great cartoon to me that she found on The Ironic Catholic (a wonderful site, by the way).
Can any of you, um, relate????

How Do You Heal Loneliness?
If I had to name the most common complaint I hear among depressives, it is that they are lonely. Just five minutes ago, I replied on a thread within Group Beyond Blue to a woman who started a thread called "Who Do I Turn To?" She wants so badly to connect with another woman--as the anchors in her li

Rewire Your Brain For Love: An Interview with Marsha Lucas, Ph.D.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought I’d feature an interview with a very cool licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist that I was lucky enough to meet in person at a book signing back in September. Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior re

Love Deeply ...
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother. One of my very favorite reflections from Henri Nouwen is "Love Deeply," found in hi

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

This cartoon was quite funny but appropriate. It seems I start to have hypomanic problems often after too much late night computer time. Sometimes it is when I begin to worry about folks I am emailing or the world in general. SO after 9 pm or so i try to let go let God.

“That’s my soul up there…” Whoa…now I know what I look like half the day lately. Talk about relating and the humour…good medicine! That’s what I call a “kinder reminder”. Thanks for the rip-snort!

The cartoon fits me; especially tonight. I’m up blogging all kinds of subjects including this one instead of going to bed. When I get on a roll I don’t know when to stop. The spirit is moving me to go on.

ROTFL!!!! :-)
Ah… communication! one of the greatest stumbling barriers to peace. It’s not what you “know” that gets you in trouble. It’s what you “think” you know, that isn’t so, that does.
Here’s an (updated) example:
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What’s happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great! Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That’s what I’m want to know.
Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.
George: That’s what I’m asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the the fellow’s name.
Condi: Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The main man in China.
Condi: Hu is leading China.
George: Now, whaddaya’ asking me for?
Condi: I’m telling you Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I’m asking you. Who is leading China?
Condi: That’s the man’s name.
George: That’s who’s name?
Condi: Yes.
George: Will you or will you not, tell me the name of the leader of China?
Condi: Yes, Sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat in China. I think he’s dead in the Middle East.
Condi: That’s correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi: Yes, Sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi: No, Sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi: Yes, Sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi: No, Sir.
George: Look Condi, I need to know the new leader of China, get me the General Secretary of the U.N. on the phone.
Condi: Kofi?
George: No,thanks.
Condi: You don’t want Kofi?
George: No, but now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Condi: Yes, Sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.!
Condi: Kofi?
George: Milk!! AND, will you please make the call!!
Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N.?
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China!!!
Condi: Yes, Sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East!!! Just get me the guy at the U.N.!!!
Condi: Kofi?
George: All right! With cream and two sugars!
