Backbone Women

Question by Christine Lamar: Anyone know of any women’s mental health retreats in the Vermont/New England area?
I am depressed and I feel the only way i can actively deal with my problems and get out of the slump I am in is to get away from my day to day responsibilities for a few weeks or a month and just take the time for myself. I have gone to a therapist before but I feel like I can not even think in my own home. Just looking at the house responsibilities drives me crazy. Do you know of any retreats in this area? Specifically for women?

It’s called sexism. Why do men run almost all the big corporations? Why do women make 75 cents on the $ 1 men make? The gender gap may be closing, but you can still drive a mack truck thru the opening in the door.

Question by blessedrobert: does our attitude(words) make a difference in health,?
The following article, entitled,
“Patient Know Best”, appeared in the August 1991 of the Reader’s Digest:

“A person’s answer to the question, “Is your health excellent, good, fair or poor?”
is a remarkable predictor of who will live or die over the next four years according to new finding.

A study of more than 2800 men and women 65 and older found that those who rate their health ‘poor’ are four out of five times more likely to die in the next four years than those who rate their health ‘excellent.’ This was the case even if examinations show the respondancts to be in comparable health.

These findings are supported by a review of five other large studies, totaling 23,000 people, whick reached similar conclusions according to Ellen Idler, a sociologist a Rutgers University, and epidemiologist Stanislav Kasl of Yale university School of Medicine, co-others of the new study.”

People that have an image of themselves being in poor health will talk about poor health. Even though they may be in good health, they seem to live out the reality of the image they have of themselves even unto death.

This would confirm Proverbs 18:21, Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

What you believe and speak not only affect your body, but your immune system, cells regeneration from surgery or injuries, and going even farther, the health of your spirit and your mind, even spoiled or dying relationship with others, your far away dreams and hope, and let not leave out our finances IMAGE. Our words of failure or success has become either a blessing or a curse to ourselves..maybe even to others.(if they agree or not with your words)

I couldn’t find anything online, but I would have to say that it is probably some kind of lack of self confidence that leads to anorexia and stuff.

I honestly don’t think that your sex matters when they treat bi-polars . I am bi-polar and have seen that first hand by being hospitalized 6 times for the depressions. The men were on the same kinds of meds the women were on. Counseling, seeing a Psychiatrist, and taking your prescribed meds are 3 ways to try and fight the disease for both sexes.
