About Daimeera
Hello there!
I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.
Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.
I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.
I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!
I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.
I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.
Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

k so i have really thin hair. like if i don't brush it a ton it gets snarly and knotty and like stringy if you know what i mean. and plainly i'm just sick of it. so is there any like shampoo or any tips on how to make my hair look or even be thicker and how to keep it from getting stringy and stuff.thanks in advance
Aside from things like special shampoos and products (I've heard various opinions on whether or not they work), make sure you're eating properly and not too stressed. Stress, and a lack of nutrients, often show up in hair.
In fact, in anorexics (not saying you are; I'm just using this as an example), one of the first signs is hair loss. Their hair thins substantially. So, if you're not eating well, start--you need plenty of protein, if nothing else, because hair is expendable, so the body gets rid of it first.
That said, if it's been like this your entire life, you'll want to look into products, as well as perhaps LIGHT back-combing to give it a bit of a poof. If you use a hair dryer, it can also help if you turn your head upside down when using it--it gives you a little more volume.
