Problem: Article: When you have a psychotic disorder, it can be hard to leave the house or get out of your head. People who have psychotic disorder suffer from delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, mood changes, and other issues. To develop your social network, try setting some personal goals with the help of your therapist.   For example, you could decide that you want to set a goal of smiling at one new person every week, or of striking up a conversation with someone in the elevator. Or, you might decide that you want to set a goal to invite friendly coworker to go for a walk with you during your lunch hour. Talk to your therapist about your goals for making new friends and work on some ways that you can do that. When you have a psychotic disorder, you may not be willing to put yourself out there as much. However, it is often necessary to be the one to introduce yourself or invite someone to do something to get a friendship started.  Invite someone to coffee, send out an e-mail or text message, or invite a new possible friend to see a movie. Try saying something like, “Hey Samantha. I hope you are having a good day! I was thinking about going to see a movie this weekend. Would you like to go with me?” Try taking small steps at first. For example, you could start initiating contact by texting a friend and just asking how his or her day is going, such as, “Hey Joe. How are you doing today?” You can also try practicing initiating contact with someone, by talking to yourself in the mirror. For example, you can try practicing how you will say hello or how you will ask someone to join you for coffee. Once you start making new friends, make sure you don't get too attached too quickly. Try not to be clingy or overbearing when you are still solidifying your friendship. For example, don't call 10 times per day or text your friend constantly or show up at his or her house unless you have been invited.  It is important for people to have time to themselves, so try your best to respect that.  Also try not to call, text, or visit your new friend if your friend has indicated that he or she is busy. When you spend time away from your new friends, focus on your own hobbies and enjoying your alone time, or spend some time with your family. If you find it hard to keep a friendship or you develop unwanted symptoms surrounding your new friendships, such as obsessing over a new friend or having delusions about a new friend, then work with your therapist or psychologist to get past this. If a friend has to cancel or change plans on you, don't take it as a personal affront or jump to conclusions about the reason. Things come up and plans change, but it likely has nothing to do with you or your friendship. Don't take any change of plans or anything your friend does as a reflection on you.   Your psychotic disorder can make you misinterpret things or see things that aren't there, so make sure you keep this in mind with new friends. If you have a hard time making friends, you may take anything like that to heart. Make sure you work with therapist or psychologist to work through any abandonment or attachment issues you have. Just because you make a new friend doesn't mean you have to keep that friend. Try not to force a friendship to happen if it isn't natural. Instead, aim to make lasting, meaningful relationships rather than trying to connect to people you do not want to be around.  Make sure it isn't your psychotic disorder keeping you from making these connections. Having friends you actually want to connect with will help you through treatment and make you feel better. When you are trying to making new friends, it is important to connect with those around you. Keeping your face glued to a phone or tablet will not help you connect to others or make friends. Keep your phone in your pocket or purse when you are around people so you can pay attention to them and make meaningful connections. If you put down your phone, you will be more approachable and be more likely to make connections.
Summary: Work with your therapist on personal friendship goals. Initiate contact with friends. Give enough space to your new friends. Try not to take things personally. Don't force a friendship to happen. Pull yourself away from technology.

Problem: Article: Ask your students for feedback to get their (often very astute) perception of what’s going right and what’s going wrong in the classroom. You can ask them personally or you can create anonymous questionnaires in order to get their ideas on how things are going. You can ask your student's parents for feedback as well. Maybe they’ve noticed an improvement in their child’s abilities, confidence level, or social skills. Maybe they’ve noticed a drop. Getting this outside perspective can help you make sure that the improvements you notice inside the classroom continue outside, as well as helping to catch problems that maybe you don’t get to see. When getting feedback like this you also have a great opportunity to encourage parents to be more involved in school, whether through volunteering or other means. If you are a teacher at a school, ask the principal or a more experienced teacher to come in and observe you work. Getting their outside perspective will help you, but remember to be open to criticism.
Summary: Ask your students for feedback. Ask family members for feedback. Ask your boss for feedback.

Problem: Article: the type of burn right away. You should only use honey on minor, or first-degree, burns. These burns only affect the outer layer of skin and cause redness, stinging, and minor swelling. The skin also doesn't break or bleed. Only treat the injury yourself if it's a minor, first-degree burn.  With a second-degree burn, you'll experience increased pain, blistering, and deep redness. The skin might be broken or bleeding. A third-degree burn removes the top layers of skin. The area may be white or blackened, and the burn itself could also be numb. Seek immediate medical care for second- or third-degree burns. These are serious injuries. Cool the area down as soon as possible by holding the burn under cool, running water. Rinse the burn for 5 minutes and pat it dry gently.  Always use cool water to treat the burn, not cold water. Also don't apply ice to the burn. This is too cold and could damage the skin more.  Don't wipe the burn with a towel. This will be painful. Instead, just pat it dry. Do not use honey immediately on second or third-degree burns. Seek medical attention for these more serious burns right away. Manuka honey, also known as medical-grade honey, is particularly well-known for its healing properties. This is the best type to use on your burn. Pour 15–30 ml (0.53–1.06 imp fl oz; 0.51–1.01  fl oz) over the entire burned area and the surrounding, undamaged skin.  Most large supermarkets or health stores carry manuka honey. If you can't find it in a store, you can easily order it online. There are some other medicinal honeys like active Leptospermum honey (ALH). These will work if you can't find manuka honey.  If you can’t find medicinal honey, a good alternative choice is organic, unfiltered raw honey. Don’t use regular food-grade honey because it might contain preservatives or chemicals.  If you'd like to avoid making a mess, you could also soak gauze in the honey instead of pouring it directly onto the burn. Use clean, dry gauze or a non-stick medical dressing.  Wrap the burned area and cover all of the honey so it doesn't ooze out.  Secure the gauze in place with medical tape it you have to. Make sure the adhesive part doesn't directly touch the burn, or removing it will be painful. If you soaked gauze in honey instead of applying it directly, apply another layer of dry gauze so the honey doesn't stick to anything.
Summary:
Identify Run cool water over minor first-degree burns. Pour manuka honey over the burned area. Cover the area with sterile gauze to keep the honey in place.
