Where does Narcissism come from?
genetics ________________________ The etiology of Narcissism is debated. Some consider there is a possible genetic predisposition underlaying this disorder. However, many more researchers agree that a person who develops into a fullblown narcissist does not suffer from a genetic disorder, but was abused, maligned, and unloved or offered love inconsistently as an infant, baby or child. The "golden child" syndrome is frequently mentioned as a formative N experience (where the parent projects all their own perceived deficiencies onto the perfection and perfect characteristics - whether real or imaginied - of their child) as well as experiences in very early infancy, babyhood, and early childhood that were somehow harsh and damaging enough to create an unforgiving and cruelly judgemental superego within the narcissist. The typical characteristics of narcissism are actually a reaction formation against this voice of cruel, impossible judging that accompanies the emptiness of the narcissist's soul, as they knew very early on they were not 'enough' to stand up to the vicious voice of the superego. ___________________________ If you're looking for the etymology of the word, check Ovid's Metamorphoses, the story of Narcissus and Echo.
Why do you think many people are uninformed about HIV infection and AIDS?
If they have it or suspect they have it, they are probably fearful of the potential fate headed their way. They fail to realize, however, that by educating themselves on what they might or does, or someone else they care for may or does, in fact have, theyl can prevent or at least slow down the progression of the disease to AIDS. Yes, you read that right! HIV doesn't have to progress to AIDS! But WITH PROPER TREATMENT... which usually consists of 25-30 pills a day...
Can you mix Morphine with Oxycontin?
It completely depends on your tolerance. I have mixed Morphine and Oxycontin together, and they seem to harmonize quite nicely in my opinion. In fact, I have done just that about an hour ago... **BUT** I also have a high tolerance to narcotics. I had been taking Vicodin and Percocet on and off as a teenager, and then one day I was introduced to Oxycontin. Because I have a highly addictive personality (it runs in the family), it was bound to happen. I became hooked on Oxycontin and began on a regular basis for three years. I need about 80-100mg of Oxycontin to even begin to feel the way I need to feel in order to get things accomplished and be a more sociable, successful human being. These days, Vicodin and Percocets are nothing more than to help me fuction without being thrown into fullblown, crippling withdrawal. Narcotics, in my opinion should be prescribed for depression as well. So yes, to make a long story short, mixing Morphine with Oxycontin wont kill you, but if you're opiate intolerant, take the lowest dosage possible. Actually, if you are opiate intolerant, I would suggest not even trying them at all. Withdrawal and addiction is very real and one of the hardest things to overcome. Take in moderation and be safe. I also believe that pain killers should be perscribed for depression. Alot of people are doing that same thing self medicating
You just had a baby 4 months ago and trying to loose the baby fat fast it is safe for you to use coke?
It is never safe for you to use coke. I'm not sure that Cocaine use is never safe. But I personally cannot find any literature on any studies involving postpartum cocaine use. If you are concerned I highly recommend contacting your physician and really recommend finding other means than shedding those pounds. Maybe go to a physician willing to prescribe Adipex or some other medication. Why do you have to depend using a drug that you will probably never stop using after awhile, don't you care about you baby safety, they can take that baby away if the state finds you to be a unfit mother. Dont risk the coke intake. Be smart, just work hard in losing the weight, it will eventually lose the weight, also the fact is, when you breast the baby, the more you lose weight, have you thought about that? Find yourself a diet doctor. Even a regular doctor that's in that little clinic right down the road from you would be much better than trying an illegal drug. Adipex is a very strong medication in itself. It does have some cocaine-like effects on the body. In some areas, this is called "poor man's coke." It is relatively cheap from the pharmacist, even if you don't have insurance. Adipex does have the same addictive qualities of cocaine, but at least this way you are being monitored by a doctor - for the proper dosage, for any side effects, and help with "withdrawal" after you have lost the weight. Some doctors prescribe "fat burners" and water pills along with the Adipex and they recommend an exercise program. Adipex is also generally prescribed after the lap-band procedure for morbidly obese people to help them adjust their eating habits because it also subdues cravings. Adipex makes you feel full, but not so much that you cannot eat when it's time to. More or less, it regulates how often you eat, and how much you eat at one sitting. It also gives you an energy boost, but yet you are still able to lay down and rest at night (whereas with cocaine, you will be having nervous fits all night long). Combine those factors with a daily exercise routine, and you will lose that weight in no time. Adipex is only one of several prescription diet medications out there. Cocaine, on the other hand, sure you will get that boost of energy following your first attempt, but within a couple of hours you will become very nervous, antsy, and shakey. This is because your mind is already craving for more cocaine, even though you've not had the time to get addicted to it. Once you get your next one, you will feel better, but it just repeats the process. Before you know it, you are fullblown addicted and will need outside help to recover, which is a very long process no matter how long you've been using. Sure, it will curve your food cravings, which will make you weaker from lack of nutrition. And when it comes time to try to go to sleep, you will be up all night wanting more, and your mind will throw you into that anxious state of mind. Only problem is, you've probably run out by this time; then what are you going to do? And then the paranoia sets in. You don't want that. You don't want to go down that road. In conclusion, never go the route of an illegal drug for an issue that can be solved with legal medication, provided that you are in fact a good candidate for the treatment (which shall be deemed by a licensed doctor rather than a street dealer).
