    People like this need to find better hobbies.

    You have been blessed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and thus that will never disappear. Maybe the way you were perceiving its promptings and presence is not going to be the same now that you are on your current medication. This might require some experimenting with figuring out what different ways you will feel the spirit now. He is always there with you. You just might need to try to feel his presence in a different way.

    (wish it was the laughing emoji--closest thing I can get). Literally not even close to what I was trying to prove to you. But you do you.

    *sigh*....like talking to a wall. I wish you luck @JoCa in your endeavors.

    I think you just stated your opinion regarding the field of psychology.
  6. BeccaKirstyn
    I repeat my prior statement: You clearly have a vendetta against the area of psychology so maybe stay away from threads that are asking for help regarding mental health and psychological treatment?

    I'm in neuropsychology, so thanks for the recommendation but I've already been in the field for awhile. You clearly have a vendetta against the area of psychology so maybe stay away from threads that are asking for help regarding mental health and psychological treatment?

    Also anyone can write an article and post it online. A peer-reviewed journal article is exactly that. Peer-Reviewed. It goes through a lengthy editing process by individuals in the field to determine if the article has used appropriate research methods and has reliable information.

    PhD does not equal "reputable". Anyone can get a PhD with enough money. Doesn't mean you are up to date on relevant training and are currently licensed (especially within clinical psychology). That's why I showed you an APA accredited, peer-reviewed journal article. This is the way that we find reputable evidence in the field of psychology.

    No one knows exactly how the brain works. Psychology researchers and continuously looking to figure out the etiology of all diagnoses. But we have found treatment strategies that have good outcomes supported by reputable research. It is a continuously changing field as new technology allows us to fully understand the brain and the body.

    The conflict is in the material you were citing. "Psychology Today" and other related websites are not reputable or reliable, and thus if used to back up your theory will be received badly by others. And this article semi-supports your argument. It agrees that the pharmaceutical companies have profited off of this false "chemical imbalance" theory, but that there is still a need for a biopsychosocial approach to treatment. Which still includes the inclusion of medication if necessary.
  12. BeccaKirstyn
    This is a reputable source on your topic.
  13. BeccaKirstyn
    Are YOU trolling?? Been in the psychology field for a long time. Researcher myself. It is a well established fact that you should be citing research from the 2000's and forward. And "psychology today" is NOT a reputable source of info. The Psychiatric times is not a peer-reviewed journal. The 1991 reference is a book, which cool. One person had an opinion on the subject and got an editor to publish it--much easier to do than publishing in a reputable journal, approved by the APA. I'm not saying your argument about chemical imbalance is wrong, but find some more reputable sources to cite my friend. The majority of all psychologists/psychiatrists do not suggest medication as the one and only treatment for depression and other diagnoses. There should always be a combination of medication and treatment strategies, like CBT. You referenced Jane_Doe's comment on emotional healing. YES! That's exactly what CBT does, but there are individuals who do need medication to help get back on a stable track so that CBT can be an option. Some people don't ever use medication and only other areas of treatment, which cool! Works for them. That would clearly be your go-to, which is fine. But there are many others in the world who benefit from short-term and long-term medication use, alongside other treatment strategies. There is not a one size fits all strategy with these things. That's why there are professionals who are trained to know the best strategies for each patient.

    BPD is a very tricky thing to deal with, especially in a relationship. If her emotional instability is turning into emotional/physical/sexual abuse, I would highly consider your own safety and the safety of your children when weighing the issue of divorce. How did she react/respond to the 6 month period you two were separated?

    I've tried both, and felt like there was better participation at the 12:15 time. Especially when I provided some type of treat (but this was for a YSA ward). Last year we had a 3-6pm block, and we held choir practice at 2:15, which was always right in the middle of ward council which was a little difficult. I sent the sheet music via email to those in ward council and told them if they felt comfortable practicing on their own they were welcome to perform if they'd like. Our bishopric held ward council every sunday and I mentioned to them the scheduling conflicts, and they changed it so that one sunday a month ward council didn't meet so those people could attend choir if they desired. Good luck! We've got the 8-11 block this year, and my fingers are crossed for more participation this time around.

    Don't know if this changes depending on how busy each temple is, but when I went through the temple for the first time over 2 years ago I had to schedule a time for the endowment session. If you're just regularly going back to participate in a session, there's no need to call ahead.

    Are we sure this isn't a mistake? If I go to lds.org and look under manuals, Handbook 1 is not available.
  18. BeccaKirstyn
    If he wants another lds arrangement to work on for the future, this was one I was working on 2 years ago and I absolutely loved it. Seems like it might be right at or below his difficulty level but it is really moving. http://freeldssheetmusic.org/song/Master-the-Tempest-Is-Raging-Piano-Solo-by-Anne-Britt

    Awesome! Already looking at your site and will most likely be getting a few of your pieces for my collection! Especially the I Often Go Walking/Clair De Lune medley.

    Vegas native here. The hurt that I felt from hearing about this event was beyond words. So many lives affected. Vegas as a community has come together and are trying to help in anyway that they can, and it is amazing. Metro police and emergency responders did an amazing job responding to the incident. While my heart aches for my city, I am so proud to be from there as the community comes together.

    There comes a point where you have to realize you're talking to a wall, and it's best to just walk away.

    So it's not a huge difference, and your BYUi rate would go down after 2 years since you should most likely finish by then (assuming your credits transfer correctly--sometimes byu has issues with that). I think the other aspects to take into account that Jane mentioned, like cost of living, the location, career prospects in that area, etc. are important things to start weighing into your discussions. It's definitely a difficult decision.
  23. BeccaKirstyn
    Jane said it much better than I did and much more concise.
  24. BeccaKirstyn
    Ah I see. Well this is how I am seeing it, with the perspective that you two will get married. Definitely don't delay marriage (if it is right) because of school. Marriage is more important. If you move to Utah, and finish school there, will you still want to continue into law school afterward if it isn't for free? If you do, then this amount of money is no longer just "your" debt, it is his as well (at least that's how I view money in a marriage once it is accumulated after the sealing, but some people view it differently--so again, just my perspective). Do you both want to take on that kind of debt, along with any other debt accumulated from both of you in undergrad (if that's happening)? If it is manageable with the careers you both will obtain, then maybe it isn't that big of a deal to move. But, if it is a big deal to both of you, then I would think that him moving to your state to start undergrad would probably be financially better for both of you (but you'd have to calculate that on your own, since you know the specifics of the tuition rates. Maybe do that together to see what that would look like: how much it would cost in total for you to move with him to the west coast for school for both of you, versus how much it would cost for him to do school where you are). I'm curious what his major is? I guess that would be a pretty big deal if that's something that can't be worked around with the university you are at. I'm specifically looking at the financial aspects of your situation.

    I can't tell if we're being trolled or if this is a serious conversation right now. I'm in awe.
