AM NOT AKON NO BLAMES ON ME......AH AH NOT ME..HIM,HER,IT BUT NOT ME...

  DEFENSE MECHANISMS......
    Defense mechanisms are ways which we mentally and most times unknowingly push unpleasant thoughts and feelings aside. it could be healthy or unhealthy. Sometimes it could help curb anxiety other times it may be maladaptive... n stupid too.. here are some types;
 Rationalization-  giving a logical or rational reason as opposed to the real reason E.g. He broke off the wedding because I refused to change my job. meanwhile the real reason being he caught you cheating.
Displacement- taking out impulses on a less threatening target E.g. Yelling at your spouse because of a bad day at the office with your boss.
 Sublimation-  acting out unacceptable impulses in a socially acceptable way E.g. becoming a surgeon because of the need to cut, becoming a boxer to release aggressive instincts.
    There are so many types of defense mechanism more coming up soon

SHAPELESS HUMAN

And so he was slim but hot in the sense that he was young and had that wall like chest girls could die for.... after awhile he started making some small change and started taking some small small beer, next thing he  couldn't stop he took it every day anytime he wanted, his normal 3 raps of semo wasn't enough anymore he increased it to 5 raps.
   fruits and vegetables sounded boring so he d rather have some sticks of cigarette. his waistline increased, his breast grew fatter, his abdomen protruded, people started calling him boss, he became shapeless.
   Same went for his friend a girl who ate chocolates at anytime, pizza, club sandwich, ice cream.....
  stop the increase in belly fat... eat right.
 -stop late night eating.
 -stop eating junks.
 -decrease the intake in alcohol and smoking.
 - fatness is not riches and it is not healthy.

I AM SUSPICIOUS OF EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING

Paranoid personality disorder....
Individuals with this disorder are preoccupied with the thought that people are out to harm them, demean them. They have a general mistrust of others.
 Symptoms they present with include the following
  -Doubt peoples loyalty and commitments.
  -have difficulty confiding in others and giving personal information about themselves because it might be used against them in the future.
  -Grandiose mindset of importance makes them rigid and aggressive, form friends with their type of people and then form cult.
  -Are hypersensitive and react to criticism poorly.
   -They perceive danger on their character that is not apparent to others.
  -They are cold and distant in their relationships, they are jealous and aggressive and always believe their partner is not faithful.
  -They don't accept faults in problems because they believe they are always right.
   Treatment plan like I have always said in mental illness insight goes a long way, a lot of psychotherapy and maybe some drugs will be involved...

PREMATURE EJACULATION

A friend of mine said i dont consider my male readers so i decided to do this.Premature ejaculation can cause a smear in relationships because no woman wants a man who cant satisfy her on bed and no guy wants his ego destroyed by this. So here are some ways to prevent premature ejaculation.
 -First understand your body and know the feeling that comes when you are about to ejaculate.
 -Try to relax because premature ejaculation disturbs the big head more than it disturbs the small head,relaxation is something some guys dont do,they think foreplay is more important for the female folk aand then the gear all thier energy towards thier penis.
 -Try wearing a condom. funny this actually works.try avoiding the ones with the label that says extra thin
 -During intercourse try to distract yourself when you feel the urge to ejaculate.
 -Kegel exerscise is really good for guys to. A few contractions in the day.
 -Avoid some sensitive sex positions because this will stimulate early ejaculation.
 -change styles between intercourse,and try edging off the urge.
 -You can also masturbate before intercourse this will help the second climax stay longer. your partner can help you with this.
- Know when to visit the doctor for treatment.
    I don't know if you have learn' t anything but i know one guy somewhere in the world with this problem is going to try these techniques.

HOME REMEDIES TO LIGHTEN DARK KNUCKLES


Exfoliation Process

This is extremely important, as exfoliation of the skin on the fingers helps remove all dead cells. The dead cells that accumulate on the finger joints darken the knuckles. Use a good scrubber to scrub out any dirt and dead cells from the skin. Everyday when you take shower scrub your hands and wash thoroughly. Follow up with a good moisturizer as your skin would get dry after the exfoliation process.

YOUR CHILDHOOD FIXATION AFFECTS YOUR ADULT LIFE DECISIONS

  Sigmud Freud an old psychologist discovered the stages of psychosexual developments in children and culled from this, these different stages of childhood development has a fixation which affects the transition into the next developmental stage. In other words it is believed that personality formation comes from these stages of psychosexual development.
Oral Stage :(Birth to 18 months). During the oral stage, the child is focused on oral pleasures (sucking). Too much or too little gratification can result in an Oral Fixation or Oral Personality. This type of personality may have a stronger tendency to smoke, drink alcohol, over eat, or bite his or her nails. Personality wise, these individuals may become overly dependent upon others, gullible, and perpetual followers not leaders. On the other hand, they may also fight these urges and develop pessimism and aggression toward others.
 Anal Stage :( 18 months to three years). The child’s focus of pleasure in this stage is on eliminating and retaining feces. Through society’s pressure, mainly via parents, the child has to learn to control anal stimulation. In terms of personality, after effects of an anal fixation during this stage can result in an obsession with cleanliness, perfection, and control (anal retentive). On the opposite end of the spectrum, they may become messy and disorganized (anal expulsive). 
Phallic Stage :( ages 3-6): here the pleasure zone switches to the genitals. Here there is the Oedipus complex where the boy child develops unconscious sexual desires towards the mother and sees his father as a competition and they also develop fear that they will be punished by their father for these feelings such as castrating them
Later it was added that girls go through a similar situation, developing unconscious sexual attraction to their father. Out of fear of castration and due to the strong competition of his father, boys eventually decide to identify with him rather than fight him. By identifying with his father, the boy develops masculine characteristics and identifies himself as a male, and represses his sexual feelings toward his mother. A fixation at this stage could result in sexual deviancies (both overindulging and avoidance) and weak or confused sexual identity according to psychoanalysts.
 Latency Stage (age 6- puberty). It’s during this stage that sexual urges remain repressed and children interact and play mostly with same sex peers. There is serious involvement in school activities and development of intellectual ability.
 Genital Stage (puberty on). The final stage of psychosexual development begins at the start of puberty when sexual urges are once again awakened. Through the lessons learned during the previous stages, adolescents direct their sexual urges onto opposite sex peers; with the primary focus of pleasure on the genitals.
              WHATS YOUR FIXATION?

TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE?

 
Some people often complain that their vaginas are either too tight or too loose. Even some guys also complain about it. Loose vaginas can tamper with a woman's security. Both parties don't enjoy love making when the vagina is loose. This could severe a relationship because even if sex isn't supposed to be the reason for a true relationship it plays a major role.
    For vagina tightness you need to understand that the vagina muscles are elastic and return back to position after being pulled or extended,therefore through enough stimulation the vagina opening relaxes in anticipation of love making,So the vagina is supposed to experience vagina arousal loosening. If the vaginal is just too tight during love making then its either the woman hasn't had enough pleasuring to allow her vagina muscles relax to be comfortable enough for insertion or she isn't just in the mood for sex. Some women need close to 30minutes of foreplay before lovemaking.So the remedy for too tight vagina is in the hands of the partner.
   Now to the too loose vagina,hmmmm.. The KEGEL exercise is one approach to tightening the pelvic muscles. It is a very private exercise and this can be done anywhere anytime by the woman. Try holding back your urine for some few seconds while tightening the muscle wall. You could also just randomly tighten the walls,you could insert your index finger and try to feel if you could tighten around it this will enable you know if you are using the right muscles.Do this at least 6 contractions, ten times a day and in about 8 weeks you should start seeing effects and enjoying more intense orgasms also have intercourse in the man-on-top position. Once he inserts, he lifts himself up and the woman closes her legs. Her thighs squeeze his penis and make her feel tight.

WHEN IS YOUR SAFE PERIOD ?

     
When i hear how often girls get pregnant and do termination of pregnancies i wonder if they just want to or haven't thought of doing anything about it. So when is considered as safe period?
        First one should know the duration of her cycle which varies in individuals and is between 26-31 days and this is calculated from the first day of the last  menstrual bleeding to the first day of the present menstrual bleeding.

BLOOD TRANSFUSION...WHAT IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT?

So i met a patient one time who had a baby and lost a lot of blood. Prior to her surgery she signed that she didn't want any form of blood transfusion because of her religion. she was a witness and it was against her religion. And then the doctors managed and did everything the could and kept her as healthy as possible to keep her PCV normal and all that but then she had some complications and then she needed  to be transfused.
   Her husband refused,her pastor refused,they said it was seriously against their religion and they were going to pray and God was going to revive her. She was dying and the doctors were running out of options because they had used all forms of blood ex panders and all that.

BREAST MILK NO PREGNANCY

Some women ponder with the question if it is possible to produce breast milk without pregnancy...thing is there are different reasons why the breast will produce milk without pregnancy.
   Some reasons include ingestion of some certain drugs,hormonal imbalance and it can occur later in pregnancy. So if you notice any form of discharge from your breast you check for all these
-First pregnancy test should be done as some women can experience some bleeding early in pregnancy.
-Check the color of the discharge.
-visit your doctor for check up.
   Do not overlook this as some people do,breast milk without pregnancy can be a symptom of certain things that need prompt treatment.Different tests like blood tests to check hormone balance and subsequent enlargement of the pituitary gland which is responsible for the production of the hormone prolactin that stimulates the production of breast milk. So i hope this article has given you a little information to visit your doctor with. Please drop your questions here.

WHY DO YOU CHEAT?

  You know it kind of struck me how cheating is so rampant like for married men is like a prestige,no one frowns at this concept anymore even the married women will tell you its not your business if their husbands are cheating abi don't you know that men must cheat and body no be firewood, i mean its like 'that man loves women and he is even married and his wife is so pretty  and the response you get is "ehen new thing talk another thing abeg"
   A friend of mine said its women who cheat on their partners more..my problem now is really whats the reason for this act, why don't married men make their  wives the way the want them and yet those that have really beautiful wives cheat more. i don't know but i need help here, Nursebugz wants to understand why exactly because i think sex is physical, the attraction has to be the persons appearance like the burst,ass,his torso or what not. the competition is high even married women are cheating,like its everywhere..i am not talking about runs girls cheating on their boyfriends and bringing the money home for the both of them cos that's a mutual understanding and for reasons best known to them.. the argument here is the guys say ladies cheat more,like a girl can just have 4 boyfriends,and the men believe that its their right to cheat because women have prides to uphold and the mans pride is his woman..


   TELL ME WHY DO YOU REALLY CHEAT IS IT PSYCHOLOGICAL OR JUST AN ATTITUDE?

How would you like to look? a wet or dried vegetable?

Healthy lifestyles are being neglected in our everyday lives.Trying to loose weight and look pretty.Putting our body through so much stress,forcing it to be the way we want it,thing is people don't understand the difference between loosing weight and loosing fat.. two different things.
   We should know that we are all beautiful the way we are,and unique in our own way. Don't try to look like the next person because there is a reason why the person is that way and you are the way you are.
  first of all loosing weight after starving yourself is what you see after suffering from malaria due to dehydration and loss of appetite,and what happens when you get better? you gain the weight back. that is just it... so channel your thoughts about your weight into staying healthy.
-Don't miss breakfast.
-Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits..very important.
-Eat little portions of food
-Avoid late night eating.
-Drink a lot of water..a lot.
  At least try to eat one fruit with every meal..drink  a lot of water too this will help your skin, don't starve yourself for whatever reason,avoid pastries and junk foods, and above all plan out a stress relieving schedule..its OK to be stressed out but plan a way to relieve it..if all this is done,in the long run your health is safe,you look prettier and confident in yourself and above all be happy..positive lifestyles and what not. Don't starve yourself,you will loose water weight and end up looking sick instead of slim..a wet vegetable always looks better than a dried one.

IS IT REALLY VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

Itching and a thick, white discharge are the most common symptoms of vaginal candidiasis. It can also make sexual intercourse and urination painful. The external tissue around the vagina, the vulva, may become red and swollen. A lot of girls suffer this condition and it can be as a result of overgrowth of yeast a form of fungus found in warm and moist areas of the body and so on.Though a lot of people treat vaginal candidiasis with over the counter drugs,it is advised to run a test because not every itching and swelling and pain in the vaginal is candidiasis..sometimes lower abdominal pain can be an associated symptom so visiting the hospital for a proper diagnosis is best preferred.
    Yes sometimes when we suffer from this,over the counter drugs works wonders,but trust me if the level of infection isn't treated with the right line of antibiotics then the solution is going to be temporary only to return worse off or resistance to drugs.
   This in turn can cause severe infections and terrible complications. Anyway live healthy,eat fruits and vegetables,do not douche,eat little or no sugars,and also fresh milk can help also.Yeast infections that return may be a signof more serious diseases such as diabetes,leukemia or even AIDS.

  so stop infecting your partners unintentionally and check out the reason for that recurrent itching and swelling..the earlier the better. just an advice from nursebugz.

ARE ALL NURSES WICKED?

Hello readers,
 i decided to do an article on how the public perceives nurses.. people are of the opinion that nurses are heartless and wicked..its funny because even some nurses confess that even their family members complain to them about them being changed after going through the training in nursing school ...like they care less for the human race and all that like there is a formal training in school on how to become mean and heartless  and have no regard for the human race,, ironically the nurse are actually trained to have a soft spot for caring and affection and all that towards people..but why is is that the nurse in the hospital are unhappy and  mostly unpleasant in carrying out their client care.They have no patience to answer your questions  when the reverse is suppose to be the case.
 I'll answer in my own opinion..nurses are very caring..loving and wonderfully made individuals who have been specially called into the profession .nursing is NOT for everybody and not for the dull..nurses are brilliant people. The nurse is taught in school how to be affectionate to everybody holistically treating every client has being special and important..now with all that being said..the thing is she appears hostile because of split emotions and lack of facilities to perform fully..she is always tired and still acts like she is still strong..her legs hurt..m sorry if she wasn't nice to u. *lol* Nurse are sha nice..ask their spouses*winks*
                                  SO ARE ALL NURSES WICKED?

EUTHANASIA...MERCY KILLING...ASSISTED SUICIDE..

Euthanasia is from a Greek word meaning good death..Most times people who are terminally ill go through with this. There are different classifications of euthanasia they include;
 voluntary euthanasia
 involuntary euthanasia
 passive and active euthanasia.
  It is a way to end someones life when it is believed that the person is suffering too much in illness that will eventually lead to death or wouldn't lead back to the persons initial wholesome functioning..Thing is this isn't legalized in so many countries including Nigeria..
 In Nigeria we have what is called a living will where humans make legal decisions about how they want to be treated if they fall critically ill or become in a vegetative state. I believe its because of the way we perceive death and how we react to death in Africa .though some people believe that what we do in this country is euthanasia through the back door. So even if legal back up is given to this i don't think a lot f people will agree to be involved because most people do not like the concept of accepting the reality of death and sickness.
   The plugs are pulled out from the life support machines almost every now and then in the intensive care unit but the doctors involve the relative out of respect for the patient and his rights,but is that not euthanasia through a back door? so a living will stating that the plugs should be pulled on you if the unexpected happens? is it considered suicide or peacefulness and end of suffering both on our path and the path of your relatives?
     My question is should euthanasia be legalized today in this country will you be involved in it? would you see it as a way to keep you human dignity of not being aware of your environment,wearing adult pampers.tube feeding and all,or would you suffer,accumulate hospital bills and keep debts in your death and allow nature take its course?

VAGINAL DOUCHING...GOOD OR BAD

The word "douche" means to wash or soak in French. Douching is washing or cleaning out the vagina (birth canal) with water or other mixtures of fluids.The mixtures usually come in a bottle and can be squirted into the vagina through a tube or nozzle.Douching can change the delicate balance of vaginal flora (organisms that live in the vagina) and acidity in a healthy vagina. Any changes can cause an over growth of bad bacteria which can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Plus, if you have a vaginal infection, douching can push the bacteria causing the infection up into the uterus, Fallopian tubes and ovaries.
   Most women thinks douching helps them clean up their vagina but it is unhealthy...NO.. you shouldn't do that. the vagina has been designed to clean up itself by the production of mucous which washes away blood,semen and discharges..note that even healthy and clean vagina's have a mild odor. If the odor coming out of your vaginal is offensive then you should visit  a doctor because it may suggest the unset of an infection.
  Keep the outside of your vagina clean and healthy by washing regularly with warm water and mild soap when you bathe. You should also avoid scented tampons, pads, powders, and sprays. These products may increase your chances of getting a vaginal infection.

marijuana,pot,cannabis...ganja

Cannabis is a psychoactive stimulant and is widely used today.. For many the effect of cannabis is a euphoric high that will include a relaxed sense of well being, pleasant changes in perception, enhanced appreciation of art, humor, nature, music, people . Possible increased libido and appetite are common side effects as is the removal of anxiety. 
       The active ingredient in marijuana Is delta 9,tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. We as humans have nerve receptors on some areas of our brain called the cannaboid receptors which are found in the area that affects pleasure, memory,thoughts,concentration, sensory,time perception, co ordination and movement.  A week after smoking cannabis only 60-70% of the THC has left the body because it is stored in the body fat. It takes about 4-6 weeks before THC is undetectable in the blood. On the other hand, the psychoactive effects are gone after a couple of hours.

SIDE EFFECTS OF MASTURBATION...



Masturbation means touching and rubbing your penis or clitoris and breasts for sexual pleasure. It’s a normal and healthy way for people to explore their own bodies. It’s also a form of safer sex that lets people find out what feels good, where and how they like to be touched and how to have an orgasm. Masturbation can also happen between two people (mutual masturbation). This can be a very intimate experience, especially for people who don’t feel ready for sex.
Even though it’s normal, some people who masturbate feel ashamed or embarrassed about it. This is partly because masturbation has been labeled as deviant, dangerous and sinful over the years and many of these myths still exist.

TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK ON LIGHTENING CREAMS


The use of lightening creams (bleaching creams) is now on the increase in our society today. The harmful effects that these creams have on our body cannot be over emphasized. Most of them contain harmful substances that can cause the following…..
Acne: The occurrence of inflamed or infected sebaceous glands in the skin; in particular, a condition characterized by red pimples on the face, prevalent chiefly among teenager
Mercury poisoning: A disease caused by exposure to mercury or its compounds. Mercury is a heavy metal that occurs in several forms, all of which can produce toxic effects in high enough doses. ...
   Stretch marks: Streaks or stripes on the skin, especially on the abdomen, caused by distension of the skin from obesity or during pregnancy
Skin cancer: A malignant growth on the skin which can have many causes. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell cancer, squamous cell cancer, and melanoma, each of which is named after the type of skin cell from which it arises. ...
   Melasma: A tan or dark skin discoloration.
   Mercury compounds have been used in skin lightening creams for many years, and excessive use has been linked to brain and kidney problems. Hydroquinone, another common ingredient, can cause many side effects, including dermatitis (skin irritation), cataracts and blue-black skin discoloration. It may sometimes cause an offensive fish odour in the user. Many skin lightening creams also contain steroids in doses up to 1,000 times higher than in creams used to treat eczema and other skin conditions. Steroid use can cause all sorts of complications such as thinning of the skin, acne, red stretch marks and discoloration. Worse still, the steroids in these creams can act like cortisol, a hormone made by the body to deal with stress. Too much cortisol can cause a myriad of problems, including swelling of the face and abdomen, weight gain, thin skin that bruises easily, stretch marks, weak muscles, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis and depression. It can also fool the body into ceasing cortisol production. So, if someone suddenly stops using these creams, they could become seriously ill because their stress hormones have been temporarily “turned off”. The creams must be used continuously to maintain the bleaching effect, otherwise the skin will re-pigment. Sometimes the skin can even become “addicted” to the creams (in the form of a withdrawal rash), making it very difficult to stop using them.
   Funny thing is guys prefer light skin girls to dark skin girls *lol* . My dear guys just know that if she bleaches to reach one of your criteria’s for things you love about a lady’s physical look know that so many complications can arise from these so better advise your babes *wink*

Don’t let snoring damage your relationship


Is snoring causing a rift in your relationship? No matter how much you love each other, the loss of sleep from frequent snoring can strain a relationship as well as put your partner’s health at risk.

When snoring is a problem, relationship tension can grow in the following ways:
§  Sleeping alone. If you or your partner snores, one of the easiest solutions is for you to sleep apart in different rooms. This often results in a lack of needed physical intimacy, straining the relationship. And if you’re the one snoring, you might feel lonely, isolated, and frustrated about something you feel you have no control over.
§  Snoring spats. It’s common to be irritable when sleep loss is an issue, but try reining in your frustration. Remember, you want to attack the snoring problem—not your sleep partner.
§  Partner resentment. When a non-snorer feels he or she has done everything possible to sleep through the night (ear-plugs, noise-machines, etc.) but his or her partner does nothing to combat his or her own snoring, it can lead to resentment. Working as a team to find a snoring cure can prevent future fights.
If you value your relationship, make it your priority to find a snoring cure so you can both sleep soundly. Working together to stop snoring can even be an opportunity to improve the quality of your bond and become more deeply connected. 

Communicating with a partner who snores

So you love everything about your partner…except his or her snoring. It’s normal. Even the most patient amongst us will draw the line at sleep deprivation. But no matter how much sleep you lose due to someone snoring, it’s important to handle the problem sensitively. Remember that your partner likely feels vulnerable and even a little embarrassed about his or her snoring.
§  Time your talk carefully. 
§  Keep in mind it’s not intentional. 
§  Avoid lashing out. 
§  Use humor and playfulness to bring up the subject of snoring without hurting your partner’s

Dealing with complaints about your snoring

It’s common to be caught off guard—not to mention to feel a little hurt—when a partner complains about your snoring.Keep the following in mind as you and your partner work together to find a solution to your snoring:
§  Snoring is a physical issue it’s nothing to be embarrassed about
§  Avoid taking it personally.
§  Take your partner seriously. 
§  Make it clear that you prioritize the relationship. 
§  Address inappropriate behavior. 

How you snore reveals why you snore

When you know why you snore, you can get closer to a cure.
§  Closed-mouth snoring may indicate a problem with your tongue.
§  Open-mouth snoring may be related to the tissues in your throat.
§  Snoring when sleeping on your back is probably mild snoring – improved sleep habits and lifestyle changes may be effective cures.
§  Snoring in all sleep positions can mean your snoring is more severe and may require a more comprehensive treatment.

life style changes to stop snoring

§  Lose weight. Losing even a little bit of weight can reduce fatty tissue in the back of the throat and decrease or even stop snoring. 
§  Exercise Also leads to toning the muscles in your throat, which in turn can lead to less snoring.
§  Quit smoking Smoking causes airways to be blocked by irritating the membranes in the nose and throat.
§  Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedatives, especially before bedtime, because they relax the muscles in the throat and interfere with breathing. 
§  Establish regular sleep patterns. Create a bedtime ritual with your partner and stick to it.
