rain rain come again

I love rain, it is beautiful to watch rain through my window. It is all green outside my window trees, trees, trees, and a faraway hill with lots of trees. It is a beautiful and peaceful sight and when it rains it is heavenly.

This year i didn't see much rain and that is bad. When i was a kid i never liked getting drenched in the rain, but as i grew up my relationship with rain also changed. Raining became a mesmerizing experience.  If there is a little bit of wind with the rain wow i love umbrellas flying

Technically if it doesn't rain we will have severe water shortage. That is not the only problem as far as i am concerned. If it doesn't rain we won't feel connected to the nature.......  

Have a nice (rainy) day :))

Personality disorders or PDs

I have to take a class on PDs. Last time i took a class on Schizophrenia, which was easy since my research work is on schizophrenia. PD is one area which i don't wanted to study even during my MSW because I felt some of the symptoms are present in me too..... :). When i discussed this with my teacher she said it is natural that we try to compare those symptoms with our behavior. She thought she had depression......

PDs are not considered as severe as schizophrenia ( this is my understanding which could be wrong) but can make the person dysfunctional....any mental illness can affect the regular life of a person (some times severely some times mildly....)

when we get highly stressed it is difficult to carryout our daily activities as we normally do, we need to put an extra bit of effort to make the day. Okay leave the stress out, take for example a headache (small or big) how badly we get irritated...These are small things but can change our day from better to worse...

A person living with severe mental illness such as mood disorder, schizophrenia have their good days too  when they are able to take care of themselves without any assistance, when they spend some quality time with their family and friends, or when they get appreciation for small things they do that is a good day for them....It is here that our small appreciative words and kind acts bring light to their life....We don't have to do anything for them but don't isolate them that is all they wanted.....And i felt (from my experience) that they will never forget what we do for them and are always thankful :)

Have a great day..........

disorganised days

many a times i feel that my days are haphazard and disorganised.
i think every day that I have to make a plan or a time table that will structure my day
but it remains just as a thought.
may be what i need is a job (i am unemployed :)) along with my PhD work....but doing PhD and a job can be very hectic...recently one of my friend who had a job, enrolled in PhD, baby and a husband had a problem in dealing with all of these . she thought since baby, husband, and PhD can't be thrown away it is better to throw the job....and she did....
I have to get a schedule that keeps me organised.....starting from today.......:)
