The continuum concept includes co sleeping with your child. Does this mean the parent has to go to sleep at 7?

---

My son sleeps in his cot at first then wakes up and comes to our bed. (He is often ill lately. so I don't mind). I have read about the Continuum Concept method of parenting but am unsure what happens at bedtime.
Thanks for your answers already. I am happy with things the way they are for now (I go to bed at 10pm when I'm tired). I just wondered how people did it if they followed the Continuum Concept to the letter.
Its fine, all kids sleep with their parents some times. No, don't change your sleep schedule for you kids. You need to have some grown up time after your kid goes to sleep.  (+ info)

Where can I find someone who gives talks on The Continuum Concept/Attachment Parenting/Natural Parenting?

---

I have started a playgroup for mums and babies on meetup.com (you may wish to join!) and we are looking for a guest speaker to come and give us more insight into Attachment Parenting.

Does anyone know who to contact in Victoria, Australia?

I have already got in contact with Natural Parenting Melbourne, The Continuum Concept.org, DrSears, Attachment Parenting Australia and Attachment Parenting.org but no joy yet...

Here's the link to my humble group. We are hoping to get more members so if you are interested:

http://www.meetup.com/AttachmentParentsMelbourne/

(If you're not interested in any of this, then find someone else to insult...)

Thanks!
Thanks alicialions but that is the choice of the members of my group and not yours. You know nothing about myself or my family. FYI she is a very settled, happy child and I didn't chose AP, we fell into it naturally because it is what worked. If how you raised your children worked for you then good on ya. But I will go as far as saying you don't sound like a mum or someone with much experience in raising children so please read the WHOLE of my entry again and take it all into account. Thanks.

Is asthma measured as bipolar, continuum, or coexist?? Or all three?

---

3 Ways to Measure Health:

Continuous - on a scale of 1 to 10 you can be unhealthy just a little or very healthy. It depends on where you are in the scale

Coexist - Bit of both - healthy and ill and the same time

Bi-polar - You are either healthy or unhealthy, no in between.



please help!!
all answers are greatly appreciated :)
please help me research this with a good link
thanks
Please note!! I have learnt this at school and my teacher said that it is one of these. The descriptions I added were just an example. An example for Bi-polar would be - you are either having an attack or your not (it is based on active and non active symptoms).

There has been some awesome additional information on asthma although nothing really about this question that i have been looking for...

Thankyou for all your answers which have helped in one way or another...
more would be appreciated
Asthma is a respiratory disease, not a mental problem.  (+ info)

Can anyone explain Schizotypy?

---

ok I googled it and found this:

Schizotypy is a psychological concept which describes a continuum of personality characteristics and experiences related to psychosis and in particular, schizophrenia

But its still not clear to me. Can someone dumb it down so I know what it means? ((someone just told me there suffer from this))
Basically, it's having personality traits that are similar to psychosis but are much less severe.

For example, someone might have unusual beliefs such as UFOs, being able to foretell the future, etc. The person would probably be considered "unusual", "oddball", "eccentric." They might have some trouble "fitting in", maybe they wear odd clothes or something like that. Maybe they have a little trouble getting along with other people, maybe they are kind of "paranoid."

It's a little bit like autism; but autism is a disorder that begins in childhood. Schizotypy kind of develops over time, but the person doesn't necessarily have other traits of autism such as communication delays.

The person can function at a job or other normal daily activities and does not need medication. Someone with Schizophrenia would usually need medication to be able to function.

I'm used to this being referred to as Schizotypal Personality Disorder.

Some people with this disorder later develop Schizophrenia, while others are just eccentric.  (+ info)

Is this the reason I AM HYPOCHONDRIAC ?

---

Ok, since I remember my life I have been hypochondriac, when I was like 10 years old my favorite cousin who was 12 at that time died from brain cancer, after that incident i think i was checking to see if i had lumps on my head or anywhere else etc, i was crying that i woul ddie if i found something , i was very anxious with germs ilnesses, then when i was 15 my dad got in the hospital for lung cancer, he foght for 2 years but when i was 17 he died, i am now 29 yo and i am extremely frightened of diseases, i thought i had mad cow disease, brain cancer, epilepsia, ms, a dizziness means tumor to me, a lump means cancer, a swollen gum means mouth cancer, a fever means something bad, a bruise means leuckemia etc etc, I also suffer from OCD, i have irrational thoughts and stuff, my life is really miserable and i cant take it anymore, lately i have been drinking a lot, i dont want to go out, i dont find joy in anything, i am bored going out with my friends, i am bored of watching tv or go to the movies , i just go to work come back home and think of being dizzy and what could it be etc etc, its really terrible ...... :((( merry xmas to you all. x
Wow, sorry to hear you're in such bad shape.

I had a heart attack about five years ago and ever since then I've been a hypochondriac, too. I mean, like every time I get an ache or a pain or some unknown unwell feeling, I'm absolutely convinced it's another heart attack and I'm going to die right then and there. But I don't. But one day I will, I'm positive of it. It's like that tombstone in that cemetery in Key West that says, "I Told You I Was Sick!!" (see link, below).

Anyway, it's really kinda messing up my life, too... my wife left me and stuff like that, so, believe me, I sympathize, but I'm afraid I have no help or other suggestions to offer, just my commiseration. I mean, I tried anti-depressants and, well, they weren't any help, and the side effects just made me feel even sicker, so I dropped them. And life, such as it is, goes on.

Good luck!...  (+ info)

You have been suffering a long time. You do sound depressed. Things are not getting better on their own. It would be a good idea to have a Mental Health evaluation. Therapy and medication can help you feel better. The worrying must be exhausting. Please reach out for help so you can start to feel better. Take Care.  (+ info)

Rare Type of Migraine now with changes Any advice Ive gone back to gp waiting on referal?

---

Ive been going to my gp for approx 5 years with headaches. after 2 years of going back every week as the tablets perscribed hadnt helped. I finally got refered to a specialist. He did a quick exam shoes socks & trousers off & diagnosed hemicrania Continua. At my worst i was getting a headache & it lasting 7 days with no break. then id have 2 normal days then again for another 7 days of headaches. This cycle just kept repeating & made my life unbearable i couldnt do anything i was in that much pain. The specialist gave me indomethacin and i had to take 3 capsuals 3 times aday which made me feel like a bottle of pills. After a few months i went back to the specialist & he told me i could slowly reduce the number of tablets i was taking till i was off the tablets. Which i did. And my headaches almost disappeared i would just get normal headaches not to the serverity of my usual. i was in hospital 2weeks ago they returned worse! pain is to bad to live with now help needed tabs dont work!!
There are investigational studies ongoing for hemicrainia, but at this time, the main treatment is indomethacin. This is because, to be diagnostic of hemicrania, the condition must be completely controlled by the indomethacin. There are other medications which are used, such as tricyclic antidepressants (amitryptylline, etc) but these have minimal success. There currently is no known cause for hemicrania, and there is no evidence of the condition on diagnostic test leading towards different treatments. As this is a rare type of headache disorder, and not responsive to the newer triptan migraine medications, there is not much research by the pharmaceutical makers, due to costs.

In my experience, most alternative medication treatments are not overly effective for this condition, as the level of the supplements required often results in side effects. You may try accupuncture and/or biofeedback as these can help with control and will at least do no harm, but may be costly.

I am sorry for you. I have a rare migraine disorder, that is not managed with traditional meds, and have finally gotten where I can manage using biofeedback for pain control, and some preventive agents. Keep working with the specialists, they can attempt some of the other SSRIs and AEDs to prevent the pain, in addition to the indomethacin.

I wish you the best. Remember, most headache conditions are cyclic, and come under control eventually, even without treatment, I know that doesn't help when it is hurting though.

Again, my best wishes.  (+ info)

ok so im 14 and a girl and im sooooo going nuts i have to much school work but im never in the mood to do any homework or to learn for test i do learn but im always lazy and when it is like 8pm or something i really realize that i need to learn !!! and i never make homework! and im in a class were math is very important and im being to suck at it which is weird because i was really great at it my grades for this semester are: 5.5 and a 4.6 which is really low and i wanted to get a higher grade but the thing is the paragraph were doing now is soo hard that i might get a 0000000 i really can't make any of the thins from that paragraph and when my math teacher is in the class i never want to follow the lesson i just stare at the blackboard or do something elf im hopeless im soo depressed idk what to do and i feel like no one gets me
im in puberty bc im 14 and i get angry more often then when i wasn't in puberty and i get really frustrated an my mom doesn't get that !!! idk what to do with school it is not that im failing but if i continua to work like this for math im doomed !!! and i really don't wanna study anymore!!! and another problem i have is that there are to friends of mine who sit next tom me and they like calling me a bimbo and they know i hate it

but they keep calling me that from time to time ...sure we make jokes like call each other a bitch ( eg *...hey biacccthessss.... lol) but this is making me sick bc im not a bimbo and now im ignoring them for calling me that i think they have no respect and at lunch everyone was like quiet and then is they and another boy began saying that im a stuck bitch and that im strict...sure i can be strict and a bitch but that hurt my feeling that they called me a stuck up bitch because it really seemed serious ...actually they were pretty serious ....but anyway idk what to do im so0o depressed no one gets me it is like im in this world all by my own!!!!!!!

Why dont you ask your mom for help, and tell her when you have homework and such so she knows and makes sure you do it, also so that she can help you. Also mabey you can try talking to your friends about this so they know how you feel....they cant just guess why your feeling this way...to them you may seem stuck up.
What you also have to do is mabey get a notebook or something and manage your time wisely. Like 8:00-Math homework,
9:00-Speach

and just keep doing it like that, but making up your own times and such

Everyone goes through this kind of stress, your not alone . If you dont speak up nothing will happen


Good luck :)  (+ info)
