The Quick Fix: Women and Antidepressants

November 22, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 11 Comments

I’m late to this article on Huffington Post Women, addressing statistics on antidepressant use among women. According to data cited by reporter Katherine Bindley: one in four women is dispensed medication for a mental health condition, compared to just 15 percent of men While I find the content of this column worthy of discussion (do […]

That Sinking Feeling

September 9, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

You know that feeling when you have a long, detailed list of tasks to accomplish, and you haven’t checked off a single one? You know that feeling when every time you start to sort through a pile of papers and files, you encounter something that triggers a reverie, a malevolent memory, and subsequent disappearance into […]

Does Watching Television Shorten Your Life?

August 20, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 13 Comments

Don’t you just love the tidbits you pick up through social media? I couldn’t resist reading this one last evening – an article on how television shortens our life span. Except of course, it isn’t that TV shortens your life span. There is no causation to that effect; it’s the association – a connection or […]

“Living a Life That’s Not Working”

April 19, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

Recently I read words I could relate to, written by a woman who was feeling – at that moment – overwhelmed and trapped. No matter what she tries – and she is working hard in so many ways – she lapses back into a sort of “creep” as she calls it. It is something many […]

Winding Down or Wearing Out

November 18, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 12 Comments

Sometimes we surprise ourselves. Who would have thought that physical fatigue and mental acuity could coexist – comfortably? Or do we simply adjust to being tired as a way of life, and enjoy those times when our minds (or emotions) are humming along just fine no matter what? Like most parents, I’m tired. And for […]

Stigma

October 7, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 20 Comments

It used to be illegitimacy. Or abortion. Or divorce. Stigma was attached to actions that were overtly or tacitly unacceptable. The consequence was banishment from the fold. Being shunned by those whose approval you wanted. Whose love you needed. Some of the reasons may have shifted, but stigma remains a part of western culture. Children […]

Asking for Help: A Sign of Weakness?

June 24, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 1 Comment

In tumultuous times, do you ask for help? You feel like you’re at the end of your rope – emotionally, physically, financially. Everything is at its breaking point, and you’re falling, flailing, and failing – at each attempt to regain your balance. So? Do you ask for help? I was raised to be self sufficient. […]
