Caregiving: Stress and Burnout
Submitted by michelewln on Sun, 04/03/2016 - 8:18am"Be careful. There is now a diagnosis for Caregiver Fatigue." (It is also referred to as Caregiver Stress Symptom.) My Doctor told me this as I was back for another infection. One thing that is rarely considered when a person becomes a caregiver is the stress that this situation causes. I became caregiver to both my Mom and now my brother Reid because of necessity.
My Back Pages - Can the US political system deal with climate change?
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 04/02/2016 - 5:23pmThis was originally published back in November 2014. While some big things have changed in the political landscape since then, a lot of the conditions described are still current. To my mind, there is a big question as to whether the political order, even if there is a change in leadership, can work out the problem of dealing with the powerful forces holding up action to mitigate climate change. Looking ahead, regardless of the outcome of the nearing election, it looks like the people are going to have to lead on this issue or look for a "Planet B."
The American "system" has been a bit tardy in its response to climate change.

Even amongst transgender people there are ways of being that some find difficult to understand.
But we try to live with it....sure in the knowledge that there is no mold that any of us should be carved out of.
