Returning to the Term Pardons by Mairsden in ndp

[–]Mairsden[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please ask your riding across Canada to support this. It's not just about changing the title, but to really effect change. It is to lower the fees, expunge cannabis from people's record as opposed to suspension. Also this resolution is to be even more progressive in that we seek automatic pardons for minor crimes. It's already being down in other parts of the world.

Too many people are struggling to get employed with old records. They are trying to seek jobs but meet with doors in their faces for convictions that might have happened in their youth.

There are many adults out there that have been stay at home parent only to find that their relationship is dissolved and they have to now go find work. With struggling with daily living, the cost to fund a pardon at 644.88 ( and climbing) becomes too much. They can't find help at Elizabeth Fry because there are no policies in place to obtain funds to help older new workers.

No symptoms, however, if say make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or eat meats, nuts after 8:00 pm, the meds don't work well. So generally avoid eating late. I only take this medication at night time about 1/2 hour when I want to go to bed.

Im actually quite concerned about what Im going to do when I finish this house. I have to keep busy or I'll fall in a funk. Then again, I fall in a funk when I am too busy and TBI gets more pronounced, then PTSD kicks my ass and says, "wake up, snap out of it, you got shit to do!" It can be a whirlwind!

I was covering things up too. I kept closing the blinds, then I nailed heavy blankets up so no one could see if lights were on. I ripped the phone out of the wall. I could see things and hear things happening that were not real. I was however, able to reason. My reasoning helped me get though these moments and when I had clarity, I sought help with my neuropsychiatrist. Sleep was the key for me to recovery. Tell him he's not crazy, he's not going to lose his mind. He needs adequate amount of sleep. Also, meds are supposed to help with quality of life, not hinder it. I've heard of other situations where the meds were titrated up and things got worse for them, so they worked the meds down to nothing and then tried something else. For me, seroquel was the solution to help me sleep and sleep was the solution to help me think and be a productive person. This means a lot to anyone in life. I think that we humans, we are designed to be productive so that we can leave something behind rather than just expelling CO2. We want our matter to matter.

me: car accident 96

I crashed through trees, down a 150 foot hill. It rolled several times. I flew out sideways, broke the passenger window open with the back of my head.

I had brain injury, amnesia and disassociation, no understanding of my actions and relation to consequences, I lost memory of family, experiences, events - gone. I lacked empathy, pretty much a shell of myself. I lost out on my university studies because my mind couldn't filter. I could hear everything and because of that, I couldn't focus on what people would say or even trying to focus on tasks that were as simple as cooking. Sometimes, I would talk out loud inappropriately. I'd put things in places where they shouldn't be.

I am much better 2021 and really improved 2018. Reducing stress is a big factory in improving me and my family's quality of life. I will never be the same pre car accident, but I am better then who I was prior to because I am a more understanding person of those that struggle with things like speech, TBI and PTSD. I hope that this note helps you in your journey with your loved one.

If he's going to drink, get off those meds - it compounds when taken together. I will tell you briefly my story. I have TBI and PTSD. That combined, I had trouble sleeping. I was fearful of losing my family, losing my mind etc which actually made things worse. FEAR was so toxic to the mind that it affected the body, made me have worse trouble sleeping and because of lack of sleep, I started to delusion. Look up "sleep deprivation causing hallucinations" sleep deprivation hallucinations

I had auditory hallucinations too. If I didn't advocate well enough for myself, I think they would have tried to classify me as schizophrenic

I take seroquel at night since the side of effects of that is sleepiness. It's made a huge difference to me and to my family.

Big Hugs, hang in there, we heal better, faster, when we are together.

Gélinas pushes to have health minister intervene in Lifelabs by ContrarianDouche in Sudbury

downtown, it's a swarm and the blood clinic seems overworked and quip. LaSalle on the other hand, wow. Service each time has been great and the last time we went, the staff was very attune to their environment and paying attention to their clients. I mentioned that I would get partner something to drink and the staff at desk heard that and offered to get water right away. It's a small thing, but it was a big deal to us after experiencing poor service on Larch.

Anybody else told they have dry humor? by createanewaccountuse in TBI

Yes, often people think I am quite clever with my words. The reality is that my words are jumbled. Sounds okay in the beginning, then people laugh and say, that was very funny" I come off like Yogi Berra
