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.

Im in a nursing class at my highschool. I know Im very luckly to be able to be taking this class in high school for free. Its 300$ to take a class like this outside of school. I got into this class to learn about physical therpy, but today in class, something else that my teacher mention, caught my attention. A nurse that takes care of people that have like bipolar, many personalitys, and so on. What is this nurse called? OR what is that field called. I think that would be a very good job, Im soo intersted in what makes people do surrent things, such as being bipolar, or why people hears voices and so on. Im not smart enough to become a doctor for this, but I think being a nurse in this field would be like Whoa, to do.
So again, what is this field called, and is there anyone on here that is this kind of nurse that could tell me about their job and if they like it. Thank you!* =D
I believe you're thinking of a psychiatric nurse, or psychiatric nursing.
I can't tell you anything about the field as I do not work in it, but wikipedia might be a good place to start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_and_mental_health_nursing
It's not the most reliable source for, say, research papers, but it's great for getting a general overview of things.
Best of luck,
Daimeera, 21/f
