I am on my own spiritual path, finding my own answers to my questions while constantly trying to improve upon my self.

  • I live in regional NSW. I am considering building a home.?

    All I have is a picture and a floor plan as yet. I just wanted to know how I'd go about working through the costing to see if I can afford this house. Its an American style 2 story 3 bedroom home. I'd like it built from timber and although the roof in the picture seems to be tiled, I wondered if coulorbond would be cheaper. Also, is it cheaper to have it on piers or on a slab?

  • Borderline Personality Disorder Question?

    I suspect my partner has borderline personality disorder. He's finally agreed to see a professional about it so I want to make sure it's the right person.

    Should he see a psychiatrist, psychologist or a counsellor? In my understanding, a psychiatrist can diagnose, use therapy and prescribe medication, whilst a psychologist can't prescribe medication.

    The literature I've read about BPD indicates that medication is not always beneficial, that various forms of long term therapy in which the BP's relearn coping mechanisms and appropriate emotional responses is more appropriate.

    Therefore, would a psychologist be sufficient? Money is an issue as he has recently lost his job again and I understand a psychiatrist is very expensive.

    I have read other peoples questions and answers related to this. There seems to be a popular idea that we all have problems at times and that these people are often misdiagnosed. I am studying psychology(I've only just started) and I know this is real.

  • My partner has been offered a job as a tracer for a draftsman in an international company.?

    The field is electrical. He has no qualifications or experience. I've looked up a couple of courses at TAFE NSW and seem to come up with electrical engineering.

    Is electrical drafting part of or a sub branch of an electrical engineer? He would like to earn a diploma, eventually an advanced diploma, but what is the name of the diploma relevant to his job? To be accepted into the diploma, you must have a certificate 3 in either Engineering or Drafting Trades. Which is the best option? If he did Engineering 3, will that teach him drafting?

    Sorry for the long question, I'm just trying to get my head around this.

  • Contraceptive pill question. I've been on the pill for years.?

    When I went to get my new pack, there was none left. I missed 5 pills before I got a new pescription. I took two over two consecutive days and was sick with vomiting and diarhia. I missed two and took two and was sick again so I haven't had any since.

    I now have a really heavy period with clotting even though I've just finished my period. I also took an oral thrush pill there somewhere before I had this heavy period.

    Is this normal? I know the morning after pill is a high dose contraceptive pill and can cause vomiting and diarhia. Is this period caused by fluctuating hormone levels? Does the oral thrush pill have anything to do with it? Do I expect my normal period in two weeks still, or not for a month now?

    Sorry for the long question!

  • I'm not Christian but want to understand something. I'd like to fully understand the significance of Easter.

    Since its Easter, I'd really like to know. This is what I do know. Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose from the dead onSunday. Why was he crucified in the first place? And I don't understand how he died for our sins?

  • Gas and stomach bloating?

    I seem to be constantly bloated in the stomach due to gas being trapped there. This gas doesn't escape though. What foods or other things can cause this? And why doesn't the gas escape?

  • Need advice from believers in ghosts/spirits/entities...?

    For the last two nights I've had an entity of some sort in my bedroom. The first night it stayed well away from me and was just there. Last night, it was really inquisitive and was much closer to me and at one point I felt it was actually inches from my face. I felt it leave the room several times and I believe it went to my 12 month old sons room before returning to me.

    I told it to go to the light repeatedly but it wouldn't go. I asked it what message it was trying to give me, but recieved no answer.

    I don't feel that it is a negative(evil if you prefer) entity. I believe it is just very inquisitive. The thing is, I am quite scared of it, even though I know this is irrational and I haven't had a good nights sleep for two nights running.

    WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS FOR GETTING IT TO CONVEY ITS MESSAGE IF IT HAS ONE OR TO LEAVE??
