How do i overcome myasthenia gravis?
i was correctly diagnosed with myasthenia gravis 2 years ago and now i am 24. during my time of suffering, i quit my fulltime job and hope to work at home because the disease take everything from me that i use to be involved in. i cannot speak clearly, look people straight in the eyes, help myself up when i need because everyday i feel so weak and with medicines, it still not really helping. as days gone by, i pity myself with such a low life and low bank account. everything i want to do, i cannot do no more. i was the provider for the family, now i have to watch my dad work day and night trying to find enough money to support a family of 6. i feel so disapointed that i cannot help my family even with a college degree. i was lucky to find a legit work at home job where i can use my skills but it's no use since i feel weak everyday and so i can't really do my job. what should i do to be stronger and able to get rids of this unwanted disease? sorry to share my pity story.
Should I feel bad for quitting a job after a month because I don't like it?
The fact that you are asking the question shows that you are a caring and responsible person, and that you did not enter that situation frivolously. It seems to me that you are dealing with a case of divided loyalties; loyalties to your employer and loyalty to your true self. It sounds like you took on a job you knew you could do, and did your best at it, but it just got harder and harder to go to work each day, and the trade off of your ability and loyalty for the monetary compensation could not overcome the fact that you just are not happy there. You feel guilty for not being loyal to your employer and personally dissatisfied because you are not being true to your inner self.So no, do not feel bad about quitting a job because you do not like it. You have discovered something about how you fit in the world. That is a good thing. And it is better to disappoint an employer (who will find a replacement for you) than to spend years of your lifetime disappointing your self on a gut level.To avoid a cycle of optimistically taking on a job only to find out later it is not right for you (as I have done), I recommend a short cut to job contentment. Find out who YOU truly are first. What really motivates and satisfies you as a person. Then seek out how to earn a living at it. One good example is Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer”.I have used a book by Tieger& Tieger, called “Do What You Are”. It has helped a lot in getting me to where I am far more happy making my living now than ever before. And I am on a path to even more happiness as I develop who I truly am.I truly hope this helps!
I feel stuck, I recently quit my job. I am becoming lazy day by day. I want to do something, I just don't know what it is and how do I proceed?
I am really sorry for your current frustration. Such a feeling attacks us mostly when we are forced to be on the same state - it could be too much work or it could be no work. Both of them, continued beyond a period, has the same impact.Just like Newton’s first law, http://www.physicsclassroom.com/..., now is the time to introduce a force to get you out of the ‘inertia’.What could the force be?You can convince yourself that this is just a break and you earned it. Fix a time for yourself - say one week, one month, six months, one year, three years …whatever..and say to yourself that you desired and deserved this break to pursue your non-job objectives. It could be travel, meeting people, helping people in nearby school, nearby hospital, learning a new skill, writing a novel or poem, Anything. Remember many people may not be able to get such opportunities. You got it and make best use of it. Just go into your heart - you would have wanted to do something else apart from the job.Just enjoy. See several films. Learn things about film making (theoretical) and start predicting what the end of the movie could be. Collect enough material - may be you can do a PhD later. Instead of films, it could be music too. Compare music from your region of your birth and the country of current living. Anything you do, without a fear of an exam at the end, will always be of the best quality.May be you want to keep in touch with your work. No problems, Develop tutorials on your technical topics. If the rules of the country, where you live, allows freelancing for a fee or for free, do so.Let me repeat: you just need to convince yourself that the current situation is not something that has been forced on you, but something, you have been secretly asking God to grant you. Once you think so, you will see the door of happiness just opening before your eyes.
I want to quit gaming to overcome my depression because gaming is making it worse, how do I quit gaming?
If the games makes you to be depressed then stop play games.If you are addicted to play games, then tell to your parents to take your computer and hide it. If your phone is a smartphone and you play games too, then tell to your parents to give you a no smartphone mobile which will not able to play games.If you are playing dramatic games change them to happy. But the problem is not the games, is you. When I am playing games I am happy.This one reminds me a joke.THE JOKEThere are 3 builders on the roof of an under construction building.1: German, 1: Italian 1: Greek.Every day they had lunch and they interrupted their work to eat. Each builder had a small package with food inside.The German opens his lunch and see a hot dog with sausage and mustard. When he sees the hot dog says. “If I will have hot dog tomorrow again I will suicide from the roof of the building”.The Italian opens his lunch and sees a spaghetti pasta in his food package. When he sees the spaghetti he says. “If I will have spaghetti tomorrow again I will suicide from the roof of the building”.The Greek open his lunch too and sees a sandwich. When he sees the sandwich he says. “If I will have tomorrow sandwich again I will suicide from the roof of the building”.The day finishes and the next day comes.Each builder open their lunch and see their food.The German sees the hot dog again and falls from the roof of the building.The Italian sees the spaghetti again and falls from the roof of the building.The Greek sees the sandwich again and falls from the roof of the building too.At the funeral there are the wives of each builder and mourn their husbands.The German builder’s wife says: If I knew you were going to suicide, I will not prepared you hot dog for lunch again.The Italian builder’s wife says: If I knew you were going to suicide, I will not prepared you spaghetti for lunch again....And the Greek’s wife says. Hey guys I don’t know what are you saying but he prepared the sandwich by himself.
How to overcome being an outcast at work!?
So, I have been at my job for six months now and in the past three months, it has been horrible! It all started in March where I was accused from co-workers and my boss of talking smack about others. I couldn't believe I was accused of that a few times when I just started. I took it even harder because I am a naturally nice and sweet girl who naturally makes friends easily and I really do my best to respect and appreciate others. So now, I am still trying to make conversations, help others and try to be a part of my co-workers but I keep getting shunned and outcasted. I really, sincerely, do not know what I did wrong. I am seriously at my wits end where I cry few days a week and I am contemplating on leaving. The hard part is, I love what I do....I just can't stand the feeling of being outcasted, what should I do?

I am deciding to quit my boring day-job and do what I really want. But I am afraid of failure after quitting the job for uncertain path. What should I do to overcome the fear?
At its core, our life boils down to making choices.We need to choose wisely. Naturally we rather choose to win.In your case, you have two choices:- Be prepared to accept the misery if you choose to stay with your boring job!OR- Enjoy the bliss of doing what you want to do with your life;Yes, the fear of failure is always there; always has been; always will be; but oftentimes, fear is just a matter of perception and communication.Let me illustrate with two pictorial representations:Drawing on my own personal experience [I left the corporate world for good during the early 90's, where I have had dedicated almost a quarter-of-a-century of my best years, to follow my bliss! My life story has already been documented by me on Quora!], you can conquer almost any fear, if you are prepared to do whatever it takes to pursue your cherished dreams.For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere else, except in the mind.In fact, fear melts the moment you take action towards the dream goal you really want.Ultimately, you know deep in your heart that the other side of fear is your freedom to do whatever you want to do.I say, go for it.Yes, to confront fear takes a leap of faith, and a bit of courage.My most favourite western movie star of the 1960's and 1970's, John Wayne said it best:Godspeed to you!
How do i overcome this problem-a mixture of vanity, social anxiety, procrastination and perfectionism?
You sound like you would like to be very sociable, but fear stops you. You also sound as if you could use a bit of confidence in yourself and others and also to try to see the best in everyone including YOU. Could you find somewhere to start to reach out to even one person and trust that they would like who you are? To think the best of people is great. It lets you expect good things from them and they respond in a positive way usually. Not always though, even for the most popular people. They have bad days too. It's something everyone has to cope with at times. As for the dream you have for a band.....if it's actually attainable then go for it. If you think it isn't really something you have confidence for then maybe you still can have a career in a musical field you would enjoy. Having a journal is a good way to list the pros and cons of your hopes and dreams and sort them out as to what would be the best path to take for your future. Use your interests and talents to find the best direction to move in. Then proceed with some concrete action to attain your goals. You can always change if you see that isn't working for you. Refine as you go, but find a starting point or you won't go anywhere much. You might benefit by mixing with people and learning a few social skills so you can be more at ease with others. You want to have friends and wish for relationships with girls so do your best to be attractive which is mostly being clean and neat. Be friendly and smile at people. Not everyone is having a good day and smiles back, but many do. It helps you and boosts confidence. Remember that others feel nervous around you sometimes too. I think you'll get it all sorted out sometime and will have lots of friends and won't be afraid of meeting girls. It will all come to you as you gain confidence in your abilities and as others respond to your friendliness. Best of luck.
How to overcome crippling indecisiveness?
Have you sought out counseling for this? I had something similar brought about by a mean spirited mother. Caused crippling low self esteem that culminated into similar situations as you describe.
I quit my job today due to depression. Now I feel more depressed. Is this normal?
You just quit your job due to depression, and now you feel more depressed. Is that normal? You have JUST (today) gone through a very significant change. The greatest stressor in life is change. Even a good change, such as getting married or quitting a job for your health’s sake, is stressful. To answer your question…yes, that is very normal. Change is stressful, because with it comes the fear of the unknown.Unfortunately and too often, one’s job can become one’s identity. Now, your identity can be that of one taking positive changes in his/her life. I trust you are under an MD’s care for your depression. If not I urge you to make an appointment with a specialist or general practitioner. This is coming from one, who is “walking the path.”At least 50% of clinical depression is genetic. Also, as in my case depression can be caused from an insult to the brain (TBI). All efforts to control your anxiety/depression should be initiated by medical personnel. Too, a great majority of the time if you have depression, you also have anxiety.You can also use countless non-chemical means to cope with stress. Some of these are: avoid negative people, don’t rely on your memory - write it down, make duplicate keys, say “no” more often, simplify meal time, always make copes of important papers, ask for help with jobs you don’t like, break large tasks into bite size portions, smile, pet your dog/cat, don’t know all the answers, say something nice to someone, say “hello” to a stranger, ask a friend for a hug, practice breathing slowly, stand up and stretch, strive for excellence NOT perfection, don’t worry that other people are thinking about you, because they are not thinking about you (you are not the center of the universe), talk less and listen more, freely praise other people, relax - take one day at a time…you have the rest of your life.Please know these “de-stressors” and many more should be done along with prescribed medication….NOT in lieu of prescribed medication.
