How I Keep My Chronic Anxiety Under Control
It really is a whole lot of replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts. I have tried many medications and have come home with buspirone. Buspar has few side effects, although insomnia is one when you overdo that medication, like I tend to sometimes. I used the "Attacking Anxiety and Depression" program by the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety to get myself as far as I have gotten now, which is really not to feel my repressed anxiety. I have schizoaffecive bipolar 1 and anxiety is a huge part of that. I fancy myself as having every form of anxiety in the DSM but, well, my diagnosis is generalized anxiety/or anxiety state, as it says so on my medical record.

Why I Want to Live to Be 120
Longevity is influenced by lifestyle. If you don’t smoke, don’t drink, and don’t expose yourself to drugs or harsh chemicals, you might just live until old age or beyond. The United States has a very obvious income gap between rich and poor. Money may help the rich live longer if they can afford medical care while poor people stay stuck on welfare or disability, not to mention the extreme stress that having a low income can produce. Also, in order to be long-lived, you have to be able to stand up for yourself as well as the next person as a survival tactic.

What You Can Do with an Anthropology AA
Anthropology is an arts degree with an emphasis on science, that gives you the skills to interview people which means you can work in HR writing newsletters, organizing events, as well as communications with other employees, and more. Or you can write ethnographies since that is an assignment given in anthropology classes, although this can be learned in an English class. Attorneys with an anthropology background can practice international law, immigration, and human rights law. Anthropology teaches how to understand the reason behind cultural values, and why people are different from each other. In other companies, they might have used the term “diversity officer,” which means that anthropology majors can use their knowledge of other cultures to suggest alternative ways to recruit as well as keep employees from different backgrounds.
