What could a 20-year-old do to potentially improve their quality of life?
Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Sleep for 7 hours. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. Play more games. Read more books than you did the previous year. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6. Dream more while you are awake. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. Drink plenty of water. Smile and laugh more. Don’t waste your precious energy or time on gossip. Forget issues of the past. They’ll just ruin your present happiness. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone, so don’t even try. Don’t take yourself so seriously. You don’t have to win every argument. Just agree to disagree. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don’t compare your partner with others either. What other people think of you is none of your business. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Call your family often. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy. Each day give something good to others.
Is lupus or diabetes more serious?
my dad was diagnosed with diabetes last september and was really upset about it. diabetes runs in both sides of my family. everyone on my dad's side (except my aunt) that is around my dad's age or is older has diabetes. some ppl on my mom's side has diabetes. now my mom, who is an RN, was diagnosed with lupus yesterday and is crying right now. im really scared right now because both of my parents have some type of disease. i feel like ill lose them both. i don't want to ask my mom who is really educated about lupus bc i don't want to make her more upset, but does lupus affect life expectancy? and i know that i may be diagnosed with diabetes when i get older since it is so common in my family. but is lupus a genetic disease too?
Why do scientists think they know more about science than politicians? Gore wouldn't LIE!?

How do you deal with nasty, patronizing, condescending authority figures who dismiss you and talk down to you?
i mean people like doctors/gps, library workers, library clerks, post office workers, store employess, people who work in department stores. i experience this kind of subtle, underhanded not easliy detectable behaviour alot and i get angry and worked up about it, and it also makes me very depressed because i dont no how to deal with it and handle it. ive had bpd for 15 years, with very low moods, low self esteem, and problems with rage, and when i experience this constantly from these people it doesnt help to defeat the notion that everyones against me. i have paranoia about this anyway, so when i encounter this behaviour, it makes me believe that its true that people in authority are against me or any people for that matter
