How do you get rid of your temper?

To eliminate anger from your life requires forgiveness. Try to recognize the things or people who have made you angry and then forgive them. It's as simple as that. Understand that the people who have done things to hurt you did so for lots of different reasons, forgive them and move on. We seldom have control over the things that happen in our lives but we do have all the power over how we will let them effect us. The hardest thing to do sometimes is to forgive yourself. Just know that guilt follows something that you have done wrong and pain and anger is natures reminder to you to not repeat the act again. Forgive yourself and go and sin no more. You said "temper." Temper is a chronic condition, anger can be but is not always. Temper is the predisposition or the predilection toward anger. For simple anger, forgiveness is about all that is necessary. Temper is another matter. When a person has gotten tot he point that his natural reaction to certain stimuli is anger, he has entered a new category of description. It is highly possible, perhaps even likely that he has become addicted to anger. Anger is a powerful thing. It give its wielder strength he would not normally have. Both physical due to the adrenalin rush, and emotional because anger and rage block out or supercede all other emotions. It is the fight of the fight or flight response. In many cases, the person with a temper will lose the flight portion of the response and it becomes a fight or fight response. he may even seek out experiences and stimuli that make him angry.

So, the is, stop it. Do what ever is necessary to stop the behavior. Continuing will drive everyone away who is important to you. Get some counseling. Learn to meditate. Take up a more constructive, positive hobby. If the behavior rises out of BPD or PTSD, get treatment. Just do what is necessary to fix it. What that is is different for everyone. Me, I use the internet and questions to help me defuse.

What are the reasons for the study of human behavior?

The study of human behaviour has found many practical uses in society. Among them are using it to help depressed people, using it to solve social akwardness, using it to solve crime by predicing criminals (Behavoural Analysis Unit of the FBI for example, in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police they have profilers that use human behaviour to help capture criminals), they have used it to see why people are socially awkward, to define and help people with hundreds if not housands of dissorders and psychological syndromes (Post-Trauamtic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit Dissorder, Hyperactive Attention-Deficit Dissorder, Stockholm Syndrome, Split Personality Dissorder, Asperger's Syndrome, ect.,), and many many otyher uses.

Does Suboxone get opioid addicts high?

Unlike Methadone, Suboxone (buphrenorphine) calms the craving for opiates without getting the individual high. That makes it extremely effective in substitution therapy for getting individuals off drugs without the accompanying physical discomfort of withdrawal -- which is horrible -- while minimizing the liklihood of abuse.

It should not be used long-term, however. Recent research has shown it to be very effective when combined with psychotherapy and other supports over periods of about three months, after which it is discontinued.

We must remember that Suboxone does not remove the addiction. It merely makes it possible to live with while remaining relatively uninmpaired. Eventually it must be tapered off and discontinued if full recovery is to be achieved.

What does methadone do to your body?

Methadone is a synthetic opioid. Its primary use is in drug addiction rehab, for detox and maintenance. It is also used to treat pain, most often chronic pain.

Methadone affects the body in ways similar to morphine. It attaches to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal column and peripheral tissues and organs to attenuate pain, and provide relief of anxiety, and also has sedative properties. For some it can cause nausea and/or vomiting, sweating, drowsiness - all the same side effects of morphine.

Methadone is reported to have certain effects on the heart, primarily to do with heart rate, arrythmia, or prolonging the QT interval. These effects are more common when too high a dose is prescribed or when moving to a significantly higher dose. For those taking 80mg daily or less, this is rarely a concern.

I found the worst effects were excessive sweating and difficulty staying awake while reading or watching tv, doing anything not very stimulating.

Finally, it can be very hard to stop methadone. It gets stored in the body's tissues, and the time it takes to detox from methadone can be very prolonged, and for some has been worse than heroin. The withdrawal symptoms are less severe than heroin, but the duration is prolonged. Clinical detox is indicated.

How many addictions are there?

Addiction is about mood-altering: changing the way we feel -- ultimately by changing our brain chemistry. We can do this by drugs, alcohol, physical activities, and just about any other behavior that is capable of taking us away from ourselves for a period of time. There are as many different potential addictions as there are things that will mood alter.

More useful is this catch-all description of addictive behavior: something that you keep on doing even though it is causing life-changing consequences. This applies equally well to all addictive issues.

Why is it important for criminologists to study the behavior of preadolescents?

You might have heard this before, but the base is the most important part of a structure or building, in this case it may be called the "psychological structure".

Childhood tends to mark and form us the most because it's an age where we encounter new things on a constant basis and, as you might have noticed even when you grew up, the first encounter with a certain object or person will usually involuntarily influence the experience, feelings and thoughts that follow after, regarding that respective thing.

Also, lack of experience (which you have plenty of when young) leads to you understanding and perceiving a thing in the wrong way, especially when someone is not there to explain it to you or guide you through. The image you have of the world is just your own and sometimes you can't compare it to something else because you don't know how to or that you're supposed to.

This is usually the case with families with a history of violence, drug or alcohol abuse, families that end up divorcing and families in which a child has been molested (there are more specifics, but this is a basic general/overall view).

They see only violence, fear, people getting hurt, so they tend to adopt that in their mind because they only see that thing. Children work in a "monkey see - monkey do system", they imitate what they see and hear very much. That's how they learn to speak, walk, to care for animals, to love, to have compassion etc. by learning it from other humans.

When that lacks and all they see is the other side of life, their mind perceives it as normal. Later on when they meet the "normal" side of life, they are in for a shock and feel a bit uncomfortable about it, just as we are with their life (that has violence, etc. in it) and they never really forget the past. That tends to make their decision making a bit screwed up, none of it being their fault as they perceive it as right to themselves.

Childhood is what makes us to react and perceive things the way we do. When you are a teenager, you tend to grow out of that and THEN start seeing things and understanding them, asking yourself questions etc. Adolescents and adults can make decisions and change, while as a child you don't really know how to.

That is why criminologists study behavior from that area of a person's life. That time is usually the time when we are taught how to be human and what is like to be human. If something gets screwed up, there's a big chance that even though you change, you can never forget, forgive or be completely unscarred.

Reason why you study human behavior?

If there are doctors to heal the flesh there must be psychologists to heal the mind. The problem is that it's easy to access a broken leg and mend it, but it's really hard to access someone's mind. In this way, a particular school of psychologist (behaviorist) developed a way of accessing one's mind: by one's behavior. They believe that a certain happening means a certain emotion, behavior and cognition. So, the best way to access one's mind (something subjective) is by accessing one's actions (something objective).

What is the definition of drug abuse?

Drug abuse the use of any substance strictly to alter the mood, without that substance being prescribed by a doctor. Drug abusers use the drugs to relieve anxiety - whether they call it "relieving pain," "relaxing," "taking a trip," or "feeling good." People who are happy with themselves and satisfied with their lives do not become drug abusers. If you drink alcohol because you like the taste of a drink once in a while, you are not abusing alcohol - if you drink because you want to change your mood, you are abusing it. Drug use becomes drug addiction when the user continues to use the substance even though they know it is harming them.
