What is WHAT IS?

Mental illness is different from mental well-being.
Stress can affect mental wellbeing but it's not a mental illness.

We always tend to mix the two up.

Please answer frankly, Is "mental well-being" a mental health issue?

Waiting. . .

Go buy magnesium or magnesium and zinc combo.. It relieves anxiety and relaxes nerves which makes sleeping much easier. I'm using it presently

Have you considered exploring the underlying reasons why the anxiety exists so it can be dealt with professionally?

This is why you have therapists.

Medications can be very helpful, sometimes they do not need to be used as a first-line approach to health issues. All drugs are among xenobiotics. Xenobiotics are anything that gets into out bodies but that are foreign to the body. The body will generally approach it, cordon or confiscate it, break it down, neutralize, detoxify, and eventually evacuate it from the body. This process is long and often involve the liver and kidney.

If you constantly consume things that put so my work on the organs that are tasked to "cordon and clear", over time these organs can become hurt.

The liver for example is made up of cells that can regenerate after they are hurt. However, consistently hurting the liver, especially when the speed of the hurt is more than the speed of the liver to repair itself, the liver could become scarred and lose it's ability to function effectively.

This☝🏾☝🏾 can result in serious liver problems. If the delicate tissues of the kidneys are hurt, na wahala be that as well.


Please, medication do not need to be a first line approach, self medication is not adviceable too because of many reasons (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions of the person self-medicating, the possibility of unhealthy drug-drug interactions if the person is self-medicating while using other drugs or substances etc).

Consult a physician.

Talk to a therapist for issues around emotional, psychological, or behavioral health (which can include: Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Fears, Paranoia, Self-doubt, Self-esteem issues, Addictions, Self-Worth issues, Stress, Persistent difficulties around sleep etc). These issues can come up in love and relationships, career and academics, personal finances, routine responsibilities, health and well-being etc.

Google "Cyd sessions". They are experienced therapists.

Somebody is not sleeping and its a mental problem.
What's wrong with you guys?

At one point in everybody's life, there must be lack of sleep. Either stress or lack k of the required body nutrients.

He did not say he is sick.

This place reeks of very anyhow people.
No wonder the serious ones have long left the forum.
When you come online to read jargon every time.

Hi,

The person you quoted may not be entirely wrong.

Stress is a mental health issue. Mental health health doesn't mean "illness".

Mental Health exists as a spectrum, and can span from "healthy" to ”coping" to "struggling" to "disorder".

Also, the mind and the body are closely related. If the mind gets impacted negatively, the body could feel it and be affected. If the body gets impacted some way, the mind can get affected too (e.g. PTSD).

Cheers

Hello,

Issues around sleep can have different etiology.

We often ignore the emotional, psychological or behavioral history that might have created a pattern of poor sleep. Please speak to a therapist (psychotherapist or a competent counselor). I can recommend "Cyd sessions". Google them up. They're even on Instagram @cyd_sessions.

Please refrain from delving into self medication. I wish you the very best in your quest for a lasting solution.

Cheers.

The cost of psychotherapy/counseling is very diverse in the Nigerian market space. I'm not entirely certain what influences the final rationale for disparity in cost from practitioner to practitioner. But I suspect that, some of the considerations may be:

(a) Competence: This, alongside experience, may inform pricing. While competence can affect the fee demanded by a practitioner, I'm not entirely certain that (just like in other fields) a high fee is a guarantee that competence exists or that a lower fee means competence is absent. A bit more considerations may be going into these decisions.

(b) Possible comparison with pricing as practiced among certain circles or even abroad. Since psychotherapy services can be offered virtually, if a certain practitioner has a range of clientele who pay a certain amount, this might become a benchmark within which such a practitioner may be willing to accept and work by.

(c)The technicality required to competently deploy a psychotherapeutic modality: While I'm not advocating for super expensive fees, psychotherapy being talk therapy can sometimes be viewed as 'simply talk' between a practitioner and a client. However, there is a lot that goes into competently helping a person to find and hold unto helpful states of mind, plus learning to go on to manage helpful states of mind on a moment-by-moment basis without necessarily resorting to unhelpful coping strategies, or strategies that only soothe a person rather than help a person grow into becoming actually better for themselves and society.

(d) other considerations I may not be aware of.

Talk therapy is very important for people experiencing emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. It is also very important for people who simply want to be able to go through every day with some level of maturity, responsibility and intention; being able to choose what state of mind they would prefer to predominantly live life by.

It is essential to have therapy reach everyone who needs such services. I also think that some form of funding pool may help support the efforts at affordable services. There are practitioners whose fees are not as high as feared. They probably serve a demographic who are accepting of their fees.

Hopefully, the issues around fees, funding and helpful partnerships around this sector can become something that can be worked out for the benefit of everyone.

The Christian description of a god is laughable, illogical, ridiculous and overwhelmingly irrational. It doesn’t agree with anything in reality.

Do you suppose that reality is the only plane where existence resides?

Do you suppose that your reality is the same as across other dimensions?

Who created the different planes? Are there beings that are capable of moving between planes of existence? Who regulates what happens within and around planes, managing who is able to cross planes and who isn't?

Who ensures and guarantees balance within and around all of these? Who? Or are all these simply arbitrary events?

“The map is not the territory”!

Ikenna351 is unapologetically rude. He is very very opposed to alternate perspectives. A sad combination for a person who who has helped many. Maybe there is pressure from being on the spotlight as per people frequently seeking his input and help, just maybe.

Are you saying the 307 beats the Corolla hands down including fuel economy?

In my opinion, handling performance, the 307 beats the Corolla (LE and CE). I haven't driven the Corolla sport trim so I can not tell.

As for fuel economy, I used a single tank from Lagos to Abuja. I refilled when my tank was on red. N8,450 filled my tank @ N145 per liter. My experience of Intra-city consumption has however been on the high side especially with using AC.

Pro2makx:

And there You go again. it's too early in the Day to intentionally allow your sensibility get raped by your public display of folly. And oh to guide you, so you stop wasting your strength, throwing wrong jabs in the Wrong direction. I am not Yoruba. So quit wasting your time with the "AWOLOWO" or "EWEDU" thing. Its a waste of time. Rather, engage me on why you have been bleeting "Amotekun is illegal" since. If you can't, then i got a cure to your stupidity. Just pull down your pant, bend over and stick your index finger into your shithole, smell it, and like you mean it, say 'o lord forgive me, for i am stupid'.

Even a 307 IMO compares better in handling and other features. How do I know? I owned a 2009 Corolla 1.8L Auto LE. I also own a 307 EW10J4 5-speed manual 2.0L.

The Corolla needed serious pushing to attain 'somewhat' impressive speed. I journeyed with it between Abuja and Calabar, I was not impressed honestly. [/b]Engine oil: [b] Oil keeps diminishing between oil change! So annoying especially if you use oils within the range of 5w-20(or 30). I experimented using 15w-50, oil diminishing reduced, but still happened, no sludge, no smoking. Corolla mechanics do need to update themselves on “oil control valves” and its functions. Many engines have died just because of this ignorance. Some even weld Camshafts, destroying the VVT functions that was intended. So sad!

Corolla resell ability is great. Spare parts however are annoyingly expensive. Every small thing “N20k” . Maintenance of a Corolla is not in anyway cheap!

The thief magnet thing is very true. I had my fair experience in 2018, gunpoint 7 pm in Abuja within township residential area!

[b][/b]Peugeot 307:
I drove mine from Lagos to Abuja. The performance and handling is far better than a Corolla. Acceleration is awesome and with ease. It takes bends at high speed better, without its nose dipping uncomfortably! No experience of diminishing oils even with 5w-30 grades. I used a single tank of fuel from Lagos to Abuja. N8,400 filled my tank, and tank was on red when I refilled. I did not use Air conditioning throughout the journey. And my average speed was 120km/h, roads are very bad in places, so I told myself 'no need'. Intra-town commuting, the fuel consumption has been unimpressive especially with the use of AC. Without AC, not that bad.

So far, there has not been thieves threat reported about the Peugeot or particularly about the 307. So . . . yaay! From enquiry, the spare parts on a 307 is interestingly affordable.

I am more at peace using it. For me, the only downside is intra-city fuel consumption, but for the power I get using it (138HP @ 6000 rev/m), no wahala!

How safe is it to use for starch?

It is positioned as an adhesive for inanimate objects in art or construction works.

what's the safety in applying it on clothing that a human will wear?!

tolustx:
For best quality starching, use Top Bond
Direstion of Use:
To starch a shirt for example, disolve a spoonful of top bond in very little warm water to ensure that d bond fully dissolves. When fully dissolved, mix with little more water but make sure the water u add is just enough for ur shirt to fully absorb without remainder. (i.e. No wastage and best starching).
When u have done d mixing, dip ur washed shirt into d starch mixture and bath it well in d mixture to mke sure it absorbs it fully, then glady spread it without squeazing any water off d cloth.

The best spreading posture/position is on green grass. This ensures that d starching is uniform and not just pronounced at d edges of d cloth.
Try this method and bring ur offering of thanks.

This is a sad occurrence. If only the child could speak and raise the mother's sympathy towards it!

Well, I was there recently. The guy seems to be quite knowledgeable but, I would not agree that he is reasonable with his charges. The experience I had with him makes me perceive him to be aloof about his charges. More like, 'if you cant cope, go and die!' I got the job done with 85% less the amount he quoted for him to work on my car.

I would not return there.

Smileberry:


Aside from assisting me to buy my Lexus Rx350, these guy at Donbrite really know everything about cars. They have all the diagnostics computers and equipments to repair anything wrong on a car. The boss, (Engineer Donald) is UK trained and very professional in his attention to details. He will advice you on any issue and give you all the options available to suit your pocket. (especially necessary in these hard times) and their charges are very reasonable[size=11pt][/size] . As a matter of fact, you will get value for your money in your car repairs. They also performed a full service on my car and it drives so well. I have finally stopped jumping from one mechanic to another.

I got the engine stripped open today. We saw that when the oil pump was changed, too much gum was used to seal the engine. Therefore, lots of gum particles was found to have clugged the oil pump sieve. Also, the grooves upon which the exhaust Cam sits, and through which oil passes to lubricate Cams/tappets were clogged at cylinder 3 (exact point where the rattling occurs). We had to take so many parts out in order to do a thorough cleaning (Oil control valve filter was also clogged). We didnt finish today. By tomorrow when we complete coupling everything, I hope by high heavens everything will be alright. I will keep you guys posted.

Thanks to all of you for caring to share possible clues.

timifakay:


Sounds like a sludge problem.
Please open engine oil refill cap or valve cover to see if there's sludge in the engine.
Have you been serving vehicle as at when due with the right oil weight? Or just once a year with one oil of unknown brand[/size][size=8pt]. Lol

Hi Gazzuzz,

Timing was recently done and the car ran smooth. Or is it that the timing slips out of place eventually?

GAZZUZZ:



Timing incorrect, or a sludge problem.

Hello Nurey,

Thanks for your input. I recently replaced the two VVT sensors. Also recently serviced using 5W - 30 Castrol Magnatec. 4 days after servicing using 5W-30 castrol oil, I started hearing Tappet sounds mostly when engine is heated (afternoon/high sun). Tappet sound got louder over few days of driving. My mechanic suspected oil pump to be weak. He checked and got it changed. He set timing, and engine ran smooth. Only for Tappet sound to resume after about 5 days. I just tire, ignored it. Then enroute yesterday, engine stalled. I tried to start it, it would crank but wouldnt start. I waited aboout 15 to 20 minutes, and it started. Drove a bit and it stalled again. Waited 15 - 20 mins, started car and drove home.

This is my situation. kindly help please.

Hello good people.

Please I am getting error code P0017 (Crankshaft position Camshaft position correlation, Bank 1 Sensor B) on my 2009 corolla. My carused to have rough idle, now it runs for a short time and goes off. I have to wait some minutes to crank it again if not it wont start. Please kindly advice me on specifics for this model of corolla. For e.g: which sensor needs changing, where to locate it etc.

Please kindly help

I think Nairaland Needs to put in place a thumbs down option, for comments that stink!

Bro. If your riders are going shopping, you need to determine the most time you can stay waiting! 10 minutes is fair enough, beyond that, negotiate for offline between 1k5 and 2k5 for 1hour depending on your vehicle.

You were receiving and canceling requests, what do you think would happen to your acceptance rate? This work is a pick and drop-off thing unless you are on hire (meaning per hour transaction). If not, at the end of the day, you might not be profitable to yourself and/or your partner (I car isn't yours).

Abujacarhire:
I got a request to pickup a rider from Bon Hotel on Negro Crescent, got to pickup location and 3 people hopped in the car,a Nigerian and two foreigners,destination was chopsticks and ceasers maitama.

When we got there,I was asked to wait for them to get some food, in my mind,I thought that the waiting would be like 20mins or Max 30 mins,little did I know that it would be a long wait.

While waiting,I keep getting requests, got 4 different requests. After about 80mins of waiting,they came out and we headed back to their hotel. Dropped off the foreigners and took the Nigerian guy to Grand Ibro hotel,then back to Maitama-Ontario Crescent and ended the trip.

Trip fare was N1900, wow, after all this long wait?.

Well, lesson learnt,the good thing is that the guy got me Chinese rice takeaway.

A male guy

nitigriti:
My rider almost made me have an accident just now. She did a stopover at TFC Opebi, so I'm doing this quick update.

I picked her up from WaterCress Hotel on Oritshe Street, Ikeja. She was with a male guy , who gave her a wad of #1,000 and #500 notes when she got into the front seat of the car.
Her destination is River Valley Estate, Berger, but she requested to do a stopover at TFC Opebi to buy salad.

On our way, she made a call.
"Hello dear, how far? How are you?"
"Sorry I couldn't call you yesterday night, I was tired after bathing. I fell asleep"
I was like "haa!". I sha maintained and held on to my steering wheel.
I think her boyfriend must have asked her where she was
"I'm going to Berger with my aunty. Today is her son's birthday; we want to pick some things for his party"

I looked around ... Maybe my GPS is faulty; we are on Allen Avenue. And where is the aunty, please? Am I her aunty? Oya give the phone to your aunty now, let her greet your boyfriend.

How do ladies do this? Anyway, shebi Na driver I be. Let me hold my steering and face front

Pally calm down jarey! Stop knocking another man's hustle. So if you got certified in 2010 does that make you more of a guru than him? For all of reality, you may not even be able to match his 3 years old exposure. Give the guy who break joor!

. . . See now some has broken the deal in offering free service. Congrats Gazzuzz, as you have been generous here, it'll always comeback to you (This is why they say the earth is spherical. . . Goes around, comes around)
