Jamie: Hello! I am Jamie- a nurse, a wife, and a mother (of 2 great kids and 3 amazing dogs). I have also lived with chronic illness, including chronic depression, since I was a teenager.

Grief from Suicide: Thriving with Depression (Part 31)

Suicide; A Type of Traumatic Grief One of the hardest traumas for us to understand and deal with is suicide. We realize accidents happen. We drive vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds and take even larger vehicles 25,000 feet into the air. We realize people do evil things- kill, rob, attack. But to lose someone when you don't have to is incomprehensible. We wonder if we, or anyone else, could have stopped it. It adds another complicated layer to the healing process. Realizing how complicated it is to deal with a suicide, there are many associations and support groups to help with recovery. So, why does this happen? The JAMA (Journal of American Medicine) Psychiatry describe 5 different patterns of suicide along with the percentage of people who commit suicide in each category. *** Class 1–Mental health and substance problems (13.5 percent). Class 2–Mental health problems (17.6 percent). Class 3–Crisis, alcohol-related, intimate partner problems (18...

Traumatic Grief and PTSD: Thriving with Depression (Part 30)

Traumatic Grief Thank you for joining me. This is such an important topic and I believe it is cathartic to talk about it. Today, I am going to continue my discussion of grief, but I am going to focus more on traumatic grief. Over the past few articles, we talked about grief- what grief is and how to manage the sadness and other emotions that accompany this difficult passage in life. We discussed ways to bring back the joy in life so that we don't let our grief control us and what to do if we can't seem to move forward. Please feel free to revisit any of the previous articles on grief: Grief Healing from Grief You're Never Alone Grief; Stuck in Sadness Grief and Trauma Grief, as I mentioned previously, is a loss. It can be the loss of anything- the death of a loved one, the loss of a marriage, a business, or the function of a body part. Grief is a dichotomy. It is a very personal experience, yet we all face it at one time or another. It is hard to measure and compare one ...

Show me the $$$: Subscriptions; The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Welcome back to Show me the $$$ . If this is your first time, feel free to review prior Show Me the $$$ article posts. This episode: Subscriptions; The Gift that Keeps on Giving A charge for $70 and then a charge for $140? I was upset and confused. Three years ago, I purchased a new computer. In order to keep it safe from viruses, I signed up for an anti-virus subscription plan with a well-known vendor for $5.99 per month. I had cancelled my subscription, or so I thought, but I ended up with these expensive charges. I called customer service, which was not in the United States, and they were unable to help me. I explained that I had cancelled the service but was told I had not. After a frustrating conversation with a customer service representative that went nowhere, I hung up. I decided to investigate the problem myself. I pulled up my account online again and verified that it said cancelled. However, I noticed a very tiny (barely noticeable) drop-d...
