I’ve been very interested in self-improvement the past few years and I really like the self-hypnosis method of making yourself a better person. I really doubt the effectiveness of using self-hypnosis to make yourself thinner, or change your body type but I think it can be effective for other things.
I do have some questions though. Is it possible to program yourself (through or not through self-hypnosis) to make your body absorb or produce a certain chemical? I’m B-12 deficient and honestly I don’t think the shots are enough as I’ve been feeling very low-energy lately (the doctor won’t give me another blood test for 3 more months). Could I tell my body to start using the b-12, or could I simply tell myself that I’m very energetic, is this acceptable?
I think this method is good for improving mood, but could it be used for biological purposes?

Hi! What would you suggest for a person who is ADD and has taken nearly every time management class in existence. However, with this barrier (ADD) typical time management techniques do not work?
Do you know of any specialized training for someone with TBI/ADD on time management. The person I’m talking about would like to get a job in a business environment and has excellent grades and skills. However, their time management and disorganization causes them a lot of problems staying focused and organized. But is highly qualified otherwise and has a lot of determination to overcome this barrier.
This person has taken virtually every time management course, or seminar available, but these seminars do not have techniques specifically designed for an ADD/TBI person.
Any suggestions on how a TBI person with ADD can overcome this barrier on time management? The person really wants to overcome this barrier.

This is a hard thing to ask because if I give as much detail as I can, this question would go on for pages. I’m basically getting at how I can get rid of my insecurities as a teacher. I went to school for teaching and graduated recently. I am having trouble finding a job as a teacher (I know this is mostly due to the economy and my lack of experience), but people are still being hired as teachers. I’ve sent out dozens of resumes and cover letters (that have been proofread numerous times by myself and others) and have yet to get any interviews.
This is starting to make me feel like I am not prepared enough to be a teacher and am losing confidence in myself and my abilities (not just as a teacher, but in myself in general). I’ve never had a problem getting a job, but they’re not in education and not anywhere close to what I want to do.
How can I regain my self-confidence, even if I am unable to find a teaching job soon?
I am looking for elementary teaching jobs. I did just move to a new state 6 months ago, with my fiance (he started grad. school here) and because the job market was so abundant. However, once I got here everyone stopped hiring.

i think i’ve always had anger management issues. when i get angry, i usually yell at somebody, then cry about it ’cause i feel guilty later. sometimes, though, i snap. like, i throw things, and i don’t really realize what i’m doing and when i do realize it, it just makes me angrier because i start to feel guilty and i get defensive because i think i’ve got nothing to be guilty about.
i looked anger management up and it says to figure out why you’re angry. well, what if you’re getting pissed over little things and then you explode? and it’s irrational, but the only reason you can think of for being so angry is that little reason but you know there’s gotta be something else? so how would you figure out the REAL reason for this irrational behavior?
i know this is long, i just wanna figure out why i get so angry so easily and then take care of it from there.

Yes, I’m reposting this so I can explain things a little better and hopefully get more pointed advice…
I am dating someone that is very kind, affectionate and mature (28 years old, I’m 24). A bit unromantic and a bit of a loner at times, but we have a great time together. We’ve been seeing each other for a couple of months now and things have been pretty stressful in his life so we’ve had a few “tense” moments (no fights or arguments or anything like that). I am looking for advice on how to emotionally cope with the fact he has a “baby mama.”
One night stand, almost 2 years ago. The woman had slept with 3 guys (him and 2 of his friends) within a week. So, there was a question of paternity. It has been established and he’s stepped up and taken full responsibility. Which is very admirable, in my opinion. She has continued to lead the lifestyle she had before the baby and I try not to think about it or share my opinion on it. Before we started dating he would take her to dinner once every month or so to chat and see what was going on in her life and talk about their son. Since we’ve been dating he hasn’t taken her to dinner (not sure if its me or work stress that has prevented it, but I’ve never asked or even hinted he shouldn’t do it). It is hard for me sometimes when I think, “huh…they made a BABY together. That’s a big deal!” and then sometimes when they are doing trade offs and what not there is always that unknown “I don’t know what they’re like together” feeling I get. I know its a stupid, paranoid girly thing to feel, but its there nonetheless.
In the beginning he said that if we were dating for a while I would meet her and I think that would ultimately make me more comfortable with things. He’s also said there is no chance there’d ever be more between them due to her past and her lifestyle. I truly believe he wants to know her because she is raising his son 1/2 the time, nothing malicious or devious. In the meantime, however, any suggestions on how to be more comfortable with myself knowing he has to talk to her and see her pretty much every day when I am not around?
I have talked to him about this VERY briefly in a lighthearted, btw, kind of manner. I don’t want him to think this is a HUGE deal to me and would probably get defensive and upset, “What do you want me to do? She’s the mother of my child! I have to talk to her. I don’t have a choice.” But that’s not my point at all…I am not saying he SHOULDN’T talk with her, in fact I think its a good idea. I am merely looking for advice on self-improvement so that I can become more comfortable with the situation as it stands.
Oh, and his son is only an infant and I am a full time nanny to infants. So, helping care for the little guy comes pretty natural and I definitely don’t mind having him around. With that being said I am NO WHERE NEAR motherhood and would never dream of inserting myself as the mother figure in this child’s life.
Women: ever been in a similar situation? How did you cope?
Men: What would you tell your girlfriend if she was having these concerns?
