Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder | Symptoms and Treatment | All Natural Therapy and Self Help
Definition - Borderline Personality Disorder is a defined as a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. The instability of BPD often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self-identity. Originally thought to be at the "borderline" of psychosis, people with BPD suffer from a disorder of emotion regulation. While less well known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 2% of adults, mostly young women or by another estimate, 1-3% of the general population. Some suggest that the name itself, Borderline Personality Disorder, is an inappropriate term for this disorder, or "a misleading label". The disorder has nothing to do with neurosis or psychosis, but rather involves emotional volatility, what one reporter described as "a [very] thin emotional skin". 1. 2.

Colorful Playground Doubles As Festival Poster
Last summer the 30th edition of the Malmö Festival took place. In honor of this birthday, design agency Snask was asked to make an over-the-top installation that depicts the festival’s colorful poster as a huge playground. Every year since 1985 there has been a free city-wide festival in the Swedish city Malmö. The Malmö Festival is the biggest in Scandinavia and brings you art, music and culture in all varieties. With a size of 13×8 meters you wouldn’t be able to miss this announcement in the middle of the festival. Using colorful design and interaction on the festival site, visitors are able to end up in new surprising encounters, relax or enjoy themselves however they want.

What are microexpressions?
After taking just one look at someone, why do we sometimes immediately know we don't like him or her? We usually chalk this up to instinct, intuition or a "gut feeling," but researchers have found that there's something more going on that just barely meets the eye -- microexpressions. The human face is a medium, or a sign vehicle, that sends us a message. When we "read" a face, there's quite a lot of data to sift through. One part of the medium is its basic structure and muscle tone. Is it long and angular or round and chubby? Providing more immediate information are the changes in a person's face, such as smiles, frowns or scowls. When we communicate, we try to collect as much verbal and nonverbal information as possible.

Switch in nerve pain medication: Pregabalin to Gabapentin - Recovering from Surgery
Hi all, as some may know I underwent an L4 / S1 PLIF in February this year, and have been making progress in my recovery over the last several months and beginning a phased return to work. I have recently been discharged by my surgeon who was very happy with my progress, but suspect the discharge was more so because my insurer closed my case as their policy dictates having undergone surgery that after 5 months I should have recovered, or else I must be suffering a chronic condition which they don't cover! I am now under my GP's care, although I can always get referred back to my surgeon should the need arise. I have been taking Pregabalin since 4 weeks post op, to combat my nerve pain which if anything has gotten worse as I have pushed my recovery and return to work etc. Appreciate any input, Thanks, Nick
