Will our words bring cruelty, will they heal?

2011-08-27 11.51.47

Unnecessary cruelness spoils our lives.
Suffering,  quite avoidable, made real
Emanating from unconscious drives

Where is the self that thinks, reflects. decides,
Where the love that makes a sheltering shield?
Unnecessary cruelness spoils our lives

Where the humane feelings that should thrive?
Where the strength to contain what we feel?
Unnoticed and unnamed, the tender dies.

The stifling of humanity implies
That psychopaths have   grasped the  steering wheel
Unnecessary cruelness  ruins lives

 

Before we speak or write, let’s watch our minds
Will our words bring cruelty, will they heal?
Not hearing, caring, tenderness will die.

 

Love must flow or kindness may congeal
Take notice of the bigot’s fearful zeal.
Unnecessary cruelness spoils our lives.
How control the inner reptile’s drives?

Emotions and the thyroid gland

2012-05-12 10.31.12-44http://www.btf-thyroid.org/information/leaflets/37-psychological-symptoms-guide

Quote:

 

People with thyroid disorders often have emotional or mental health symptoms as well as physical symptoms. This is especially the case for people with hyperthyroidism (an over-active thyroid), hypothyroidism (an under-active thyroid), thyroid related eye disease, or thyroid cancer.

What kind of emotional problems might I experience?

Whatever your type of thyroid disorder, it can make you feel more emotional than you felt before and you may find that your mood changes, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Common emotional problems are:

Over-activity

  • Anxiety – a feeling of nervousness, with butterflies, heart racing, trembling, irritability, sleep difficulties

Under-activity

  • Depression – low mood and difficulty enjoying things, tearfulness, loss of appetite and disturbed sleep
  • Either over-activity or under-activity
  • Mood swings – snappiness or short-temper which people often call ‘moodiness’
  • Sleeping difficulties

What about mental health problems?

Mental health, or cognitive, problems that can occur, most often with thyroid under-activity, include:

  • Difficulties with concentration
  • Short-term memory lapses
  • Lack of interest and mental alertness

These symptoms can cause older people to worry about permanent memory failure (dementia) but in fact they are rarely as severe as seen in dementia.
