Moms and Unhealthy Anger

With the recession coming up it is not surprising that so many moms are frustrated. Many of us have unhealthy anger because we are so stressed.
It is your responsibility to handle your anger no matter how unjust the world is being to you.Even a moderate amount of expressed anger is thought to be immature and uncivilized in our society no matter how great the frustration, threat or violation that triggered it. Being calm, in control and turning the other cheek is considered to be most socially acceptable. It is also considered by many to be the right thing to do spiritually.
Unfortunately the consequence of this is usually outbursts of suppressed anger that often takes the form of violent behavior or misdirected anger. This anger that is constantly suppressed by social mores and other conditions leads to persistent negative thoughts, nightmares and even physical conditions like ulcers, headaches and high blood pressure.
Not only is managing your anger essential to maintaining your physical health it is also crucial to your mental health. Bottled up anger can be the battery that keeps a clinical depression ticking for decades. It can be the impulse behind suicide or even passive forms of suicide such as cigarette smoking. Then of course there is that little matter of alienating your kids because you yell at themtoo much.
A long term sustenance of anger can also set up a vicious cycle of anger feeding self-hatred and feeding more anger. Anger turned inward is very self-destructive and often leads to depression. In fact one of the most common definitions of depression is 'anger turned inwards.'
There are a lot of vile social consequences to living your life as a chronically angry person. Angry people tentend to grow up believing that if they are hurt or abused, there are merely two options available, which are self-blame and denial of blame. This of course leads to distorted thinking and judgements.
Angry people have one major thing in common. Their personal relationships are often unhappy and seem naturally unlucky. They spend a lot of time cursing others and then are surprised when those curses come home to roost.
Another dangerous side effect of anger is that it can fuel obsessions, phobias and addictions. Obsessions and phobias arise from situations when, for some reason or another, we feel we are either losing control of ourselves or the world around us.
I ask you as a smart group of mommies to check yourself on this type of impulse in the near future. The other unfortunate aspect of unhealthy anger is that it is contagious. One wrong seems to fuel another and before you know it, your life is filled with rage filled individuals responding to your rage. The answer to solving this dilemma is to get this emotion under control and get help if you feel you need it.

B12 Injections for Moms?

Are you feeling really fatigued and tired and do you have those weird winter blahs. Then maybe what you need is a simple b12 injection. This can help the overweight and tired mommy get back to her fighting weight. A b12injection is becoming the answer when it comes to rapid safe weight loss after indulging in those rich Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
Is there any danger to this? Usually the b12 injection is safe in general unless your physician says otherwise. Vitamin B12 is one of the crucial nutrients that our bodies need in order to function properly and when we do not have enough all of our functions, including our ability to create energy slows right down. This means weight gain for mommies that suffer from the winter blues or who are simply having trouble keeping up in general.
Vitamin b12 performs many of the body's more important tasks including the job of giving us an energy boost. Those energy boosts are what give our bodies the impetus to burn calories. That is why B12 is always called the 'energy vitamin.'
There is a hitch. A vitamin b12 injection will not cause you to lose weight if you take it orally. Only injections cause real weight loss. To take the injectable version you need to get it prescribed by a doctor. Most of these doctors work as physicians in weight loss centers. Very often these B12 shots are a standard part of a medical weight loss program and they have been since the nineeen fifties they take care of all kinds of important tasks including the making of DNA during cell division and forming of red blood cells.
These shots are administered directly into the muscle, allowing the body to absorb it all easily. You will be required to stay at the medical weight loss program clinic for a few minutes after you get the shot to make sure you are not having an adverse reaction. People are usually never allergic to vitamin B but they do sometimes get allergic to the carrier fluids used to deliver the drug into the bloodstream.
If you are overweight because you have chronic fatigue system or a vitamin B12 deficiency than you might be prescribed these shots by a regular doctor. The lift that people get from these shots also helps them fight the stress and depression that might be leading to the overweight condition. People on these shots simply feel more like getting up and moving which is good.
I am not so sure I approve of these shots jus yet but I have seen them work with friends of mine who basically feel fat, depressed and overwhelmed with dealing with kids. I would not recommend doing any of this without a doctor's permission and also if you are pregnant or nursing stay away from any type of injection that alters your body chemistry.
