What are the signs and symptoms of personality difficulties?Symptoms of personality issues include having difficulty making/keeping friends, spending too much time alone, not trusting others, losing your temper easily, being impulsive, worrying all the time, depending on others and being perfectionistic.

You may also feel empty or bored inside, ‘spaced-out’ when stressed, paranoid and hurt yourself at times to relieve emotional numbness or pain.

I may have personality difficulties. What can I do?There are various effective treatments to help you overcome personality difficulties. These include Cognitive Analytical Therapy, Schema Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. A psychologist can help you decide which therapy you would be more likely to benefit from.

A course of therapy typically consists of hourly weekly sessions for a total of 16 weeks and people often report improvements after about the 4th session. A psychologist will advise you if you are ready for therapy as you will only benefit from treatment if you are motivated to make meaningful changes in your life.

SHOPPING the SUMMER SALES

Hard to believe it is early August and we are still battling the elements, a perfect time to shop the last of the summer sales.

a perfect time to shop the last of the Summer Sales. We all love a bargain and can oftentimes get carried away with impulse buying. By following a few simple guidelines you can buy some great pieces that will take you right through the Autumn/Winter season1. Follow the golden rules of sales shopping by purchasing darker colours and warm fabrics to add to a winter wardrobe. Also a great time to stock up on summer pieces for those travelling to sunnier climates in the months ahead. 2. Always ensure you stick strictly to your sales budget this will avoid unnecessary purchases.3. Sales provide a great opportunity to invest in classic pieces. Consider a tailored jacket, a little black dress, a quality white shirt, a cashmere sweater and a leather jacket they are ideal basics for a capsule wardrobe and can be worn year in year out.4. Never be tempted to buy anything to big or too small just because you love it.5. Another tip is to browse stores that stock signature designer pieces. The most sought after pieces include anything by Valentino in red, a timeless Burberry trench coat, a Victoria Beckham dress, a Balmain blazer or Laboutin shoes.6. Key trends always last a few seasons so sales are a great way of stocking up for the seasons ahead. The key is to choose pieces you can wear now and in Autumn/Winter.WHAT NOT TO BUY 1. If you don’t immediately feel great in something you try on, you never will.

2. Shoes that are a little too tight can be very tempting…think “Cinderella” and avoid.3. When purchasing new items ensure they work with 3 or 4 other pieces in your wardrobe.4. The 50/70% discount is the most tempting of all…if you can’t wear it more than once, move on.5. Sales are a good time to be brave…if you have a lot of the same type of pieces or lots of one colour try something different.Overall sales are also a very good way of discovering new designers the discounts on offer particularly during the end of July are well worth checking out, one that immediately comes to mind is Bastyan who stock a range of stunning classic pieces or perhaps Coast and Karen Millen for that upcoming wedding. Finally if you really love something go for it…sale items don’t stay around for long.Happy shopping, keep it stylish and don’t forget the brolly.Pat

I’ve Lost 17lbs in 10 days ! so could you!

Starting my health Journey

Running your own business is never easy

and we are all busy. My problem has always been not eating regularly during the day as I am always on the go.

I I decided recently I was going to put everything into sorting out my eating habits

this summer and came up with a plan.I decided that if I was going to start my Journey to become a Greener , Cleaner and Leaner me then I should start with a pure cleanse.

I was in the middle of my research when one of my clients mentioned The Purium cleanse to me .

NO GMO’s, vegan, plant based, no binders, fillers or additives like most other companies and there is 23 years of science behind it all sounded a bit to good to be true? I had to find out more.

Purium is NOT A DIET it is a lifestyle and there is a huge difference here. Diets don’t work as they encourage your body to store fat and at the same time they reduce your muscle mass, which makes it more difficult for you to lose weight.

Purium uses nutrient-dense superfoods, slow burning carbs and highly-digestible protein. All Natural. Importantly, you will not be consuming ANY processed, irradiated, denatured, artificial or genetically – modified ingredients. This is an anabolic cleanse so you won’t be sacrificing your long- term results. Your body feels great.

Purium helps you transition into a healthier lifestyle with minimal effort enabling you to curb your cravings and kick bad habits and pave the way for healthier and happier future.

Its a break from processed food, resets your metabolism and helps with cravings.

The fabulous thing about the 10 Day transformation cleanse and what is so unique is that its an anabolic cleanse so your

body will be getting all the protein and nutrients it needs on a cellular level to keep you satisfied.So on Wednesday myself and my partner started on our cleanse. Yes I made him do it also! If we are going to change our lives then best to do it together.It seemed easy enough ?Eating every 2 hours and including any organic fruit and veg daily.

My day would be:

7am – 18 oz of water , Cleanse tablets and Flex food

9am - Cleanse drink

11am – 18 oz of water , Cleanse Tablets and Flex Food

1pm - Cleanse Drink

3pm – 18 oz of water , Cleanse tablets and Flex food

5pm – Cleanse drink

7pm – Apothe – cherry in water

Flex foods are Fruit or Veg. no dressings but you can use Himalayan sea salt, fresh lemon , garlic or cayenne pepper. No meat, dairy or bread for the 10 days.

Days 1-3 were tough but I was determined to keep going. The cleanse drink I found hard but by the time I got to Day 4 I really started to settle in to it. I discovered some great recipes through Purium’s support group and it was so great to communicate with people that were doing the cleanse with us. The weekend then arrived and with a day off I realized how much I probably ate because of boredom. I really had to keep myself busy.But Monday came and the rest of the week flew by and before I knew it day 10 was finished.

RESULTS …. IN 10 DAYSLoss 17lbsMore importantly I feel fantastic. I am sleeping well, my skin looks Fabulous and my energy levels are Great . I’m so impressed I’m not stopping. I am now on the maintenance pack as I feel fantastic. Follow my story on Instagram at sianhorn for healthy tips and recipes.Purium is available from Elite Pilates , Donnybrook commercial Centre .

Customers come to me quiet frequently for advice on how to add colour to their interior decor

so today I am hopefully going to inspire some of you to go for it! From my experience the stickler is “where do I start? How do I know which colours to

choose?” So here are some tips to get you on the road to a more colourful and inspired space. Pull From Pattern: To help you choose a colour scheme, look at pieces you already own, pieces you love, be it drapery, art or a favoured ornament. In design, 3 is the magic number so base your colour scheme on 3 main colours with 60% hue, the dominant overall colour, 30% provides visual interest with a complimenting colour and 10% strong pop of colour. This is the first step to incorporating colour. Don’t shy away from the dark side!: This is an old adage in interior design. By adding a dark element - say a black lampshade, a dark piece of furniture, dark accent wall - you clarify and enhance all the other colours in the space. This is exactly why I have dark walls in the shop it accentuates the stock so well, everything pops against a dark background. Try it, it really works! For a more contemporary scheme: Consider a high-contrast colours which appear clearer and more highly defined than a space that incorporates low contrast colours. When paired, black and white (which, by the way, are not colours but rather the addition or subtraction of light) are somewhat formal in appearance, not unlike a tuxedo. White with beige, however, has a low contrast and a feeling of calmness. Combining white and black with gray is very low key and also creates a restful space.

For a more eclectic scheme(my fav!): Start with the basics and pull accent colours from favourite pieces to create a nice balanced colour scheme using the rule of 3(60-30-10). Now you have a backdrop for some funky accent pieces. From here rules go out the window with colour but only with accent pieces, add a bright yellow over sized floor lamp, patterned/textured cushions in crazy colours, some quirky artwork the list is endless but don’t over do it, you don’t want to lose all sense of your underlying colour scheme.This image is a perfect example of how to add colour and it works on all levels. It is a beautiful period building decorated with neutral colours(low contrast scheme)to emphasize its features. This room would be quite eclectic but you can still see structure in its colour scheme. For a more polished look, do away with all the cushions and take your 10% accent colour from the green in the lamps incorporating it throughout with a few soft furnishings and decorative pieces.

HEALTH

Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. But while tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinson’s disease, the disorder also commonly causes a slowing or freezing of movement. Friends and family may notice that your face shows little or no expression and your arms don’t swing when you walk. Speech often becomes soft and mumbling. Parkinson’s symptoms tend to worsen as the disease progresses.SymptomsThe symptoms of Parkinson’s disease vary from person to person. Early signs may be subtle and can go unnoticed for months or years. Symptoms typically begin on one side of the body and usually remain worse on that side. Parkinson’s signs and symptoms may include: Tremor, Slowed motion (bradykinesia), Rigid muscles, Impaired posture and balance, Loss of automatic movements, Speech changes and Dementia. CausesMany symptoms of Parkinson’s disease result from the lack of a chemical messenger, called dopamine, in the brain. This occurs when the specific brain cells that produce dopamine die or become impaired. But researchers still aren’t certain about what sets this chain of events in motion. Some theorize that genetic mutations or environmental toxins may play a role in Parkinson’s disease.Lifestyle and home remediesCertain lifestyle changes also may help make living with Parkinson’s disease easier.Healthy eatingEat a nutritionally balanced diet that contains plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. These foods are high in fiber, which is important for helping prevent the constipation that is common in Parkinson’s disease.If you take a fiber supplement, such as psyllium powder, be sure to introduce it gradually and drink plenty of fluids daily. Otherwise, your constipation may become worse. Walking with careParkinson’s disease can disturb your sense of balance, making it difficult to walk with a normal gait. These suggestions may help:Try

not to move too quickly, Aim for your heel to strike the floor first when you’re walking, If you notice yourself shuffling, stop and check your posture. It’s best to stand up straight with your head over your hips and your feet eight to 10 inches apart.Avoiding fallsIn the later stages of the disease, you may fall more easily. That’s because Parkinson’s disease affects the balance and coordination centers in the brain. In fact, you may be thrown off balance by just a small push or bump. The following suggestions may help: Don’t pivot your body over your feet while turning. Instead, make a U-turn, Don’t lean or reach. Keep your center of gravity over your feet, Don’t carry things while walking, Avoid walking backward.DressingDressing can be the most frustrating of all activities for someone with Parkinson’s disease. The loss of fine-motor control makes it hard to button and zip clothes, and even to step into a pair of pants. An occupational therapist can point out techniques that make daily activities easier. These suggestions also may help: Allow plenty of time so that you don’t feel rushed, Lay clothes nearby, Choose clothes that you can slip on easily, such as sweat pants, simple dresses or pants with elastic waistbands,Use fabric fasteners, such as Velcro, instead of buttons. Alternative medicineCoenzyme Q10: People with Parkinson’s disease tend to have low levels of coenzyme Q10, and some research has suggested it may be beneficial. Massage: Massage therapy can reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation, which can be especially helpful to people experiencing muscle rigidity associated with Parkinson’s disease. Tai chi: An ancient form of Chinese exercise, tai chi employs slow, flowing motions that help improve flexibility and balance. Yoga: Yoga is another type of exercise that increases flexibility and balance. Most poses can be modified, depending on your physical abilities. If you are concerned that you might be showing early signs of parkinson’s disease, contact your G.P. for a consultation. If you would like more information on lifestyle and home remedies, contact Garvan at Lynch’s Pharmacy on 4366923.

HSE MUST INFORM PUBLIC ON EU HEALTH SCHEME

Labour TD Ciarán Lynch says that the HSE should inform the general public about the Cross Border Health Directive

(CBD) which allows Irish people to access health services in other EU countries.This scheme allows anybody who is entitled to public health services in Ireland to access these services abroad. An Irish person who gets healthcare in another European country under the scheme will be reimbursed the amount that it would cost to carry out this treatment in a hospital in Ireland. The CBD covers all health services which are publicly available in Ireland and there is no charge to apply to the scheme.

This scheme is very useful to anybody who is travelling abroad and wishes to access health treatment while they are

away. It means that accessing health services abroad is not dependent on a person’s means and I hope that the HSE will run a comprehensive information campaign to ensure that the general public are informed that this facility is available.

Further information is available at http://www.hse.ie/eng/services/list/1/schemes/cbd/ where the application

form is also available. In addition people can email [email protected] or ring 056 778 4546 to find out what health services are covered under this scheme.

According to figures released by the Court Service, 616 family homes were the subject of repossession

orders in the first six months of this year and orders were granted against a further 284 buy-to-let properties during the period. Cork households were particularly hard hit with 91 families losing their home over the period. The country is in the grips of a housing emergency as we are seeing an increase in the number of home repossessions sweeping the country. The fact that over 600 family homes have already been repossessed since the start of the year is extremely worrying, but what is even more worrying is that 3,395 cases are currently being processed. These are essentially the first stage in the repossession process and an indication of huge number of cases coming down the line. The problem of long term arrears needs urgent action. There are 37,933 owner occupiers more than two years behind in their mortgage payments. This category now constitutes 36% of all accounts in arrears, and 79% of arrears outstanding. More and more families are finding themselves with nowhere to go as their homes face repossession and they cannot afford inflated rents. We have seen a 55% surge in the number of homeless families since the start of the year. The failure to tackle the mortgage crisis is playing a significant role in these appalling figures. My constituency office is inundated with calls for assistance in relation to mortgages and the short supply of private rentals and social housing. How bad does it have to get before the Government starts taking this emergency seriously? It’s now eight months since the disturbing death of homeless man Jonathan Corrie, forcing the Government into a series of press conferences and empty promises of action. Not a single thing has been done since then and the situation has got immeasurably worse.

If you would like to discuss this or any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Douglas Road workhouse was also one of the first of over 130 workhouses to be designed by the Poor Law Commissioners’ architect George Wilkinson.

Housing crisis must be tackled urgently

Cork City and surrounding areas is now being gripped by a very serious housing crisis with many families

at serious risk of homelessness. A new form of housing support is now available from Cork City Council and Cork County Council. The Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) scheme will provide housing assistance for households who qualify for social housing support, including many long-term rent supplement recipients. Applicants must have an approved social housing application to be eligible for the scheme. The intention is that the scheme would eventually replace long-term rent supplement. Under the scheme, you must find your own private rented accommodation. Although the local authority administers the HAP scheme, you will not be a local authority tenant. The rental agreement will be between yourself and the private landlord and your tenancy will be covered by the Residential Tenancies Act 2004. One of the flaws of the scheme is that the rent must be within the HAP rent limits for your household size and the area you live in. At present, they are based on the current limits for Rent Supplement.

Meanwhile, tenants in Cork City are covered by Threshold’s Tenancy Protection Scheme. The tenancy protection scheme, which is operated by the housing charity Threshold and the Department of Social Protection, enables households in the private rented sector and in receipt of rent allowance, to seek an increase where they face rent increases they cannot meet. This scheme is essential because the rent supplement caps in Cork City are now completely out of date and many families are finding it increasingly difficult to find a home. For further information on this Tenancy Protection Service, please contact 1800 454 454. Unfortunately, this Scheme has not yet been rolled out to the County. I have asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection to extend the Scheme to the suburbs in the County where a serious housing crisis has also developed.

Fresh 4 U Douglas situated at Daly’s in the back Douglas Village at the far end of the Community Park is the

brainchild of management team Iris Cuddihy and her colleague David Martin who have put their best foot forward in an exciting new way. Their concept, a more corner store interpretation of the old Centra style of recent years, is a convenience shopping experience with a difference so that’s where any comparison with Centra ends. What David and Iris have sought to do is to deliver an experience that provides the customer with daily baked in-house bread products, scones and tarts, good value bulk buys, high end but affordable artisan and health products all at the same time as ensuring that your off licence, lotto, cigarettes, milk and modern communication requirements are catered to. What Iris and David have made is a big step away from the old and not especially ethical former management structure that found little favour with a good many local people who recognised that alcoholic drink and cigarettes were being sold to minors. Iris tells me, “We decided that this shop, recognised by most people in the neighbourhood as Daly’s, was in need of a complete overhaul to restore its reputation and enhance the wider community with product ranges that reflect changing tastes. By David and myself working by day and by evening we’ve taken the view of delivering what people have good reason to expect of their local corner store; good value, a diverse, convenient, nutritious and healthy product range and a commitment to the community where adolescent children aren’t going to be served alcohol or cigarettes for reason of profit. We’re very determined about this.” Certainly, since Iris and David have arrived, a good many customers who’ve recognised that Fresh 4 U is a completely new shop, profess an amazement with the product range as well as the friendliness with which service is delivered. David, “We’ve basically decluttered the store by comparison to what had been here and because we source product from a much wider array of wholesalers there’s a really positive feedback from those customers who know that the shop is under new

management. We put time and thought into what we’d personally like to see in a corner shop and how the friendliness we saw as being so fundamental to this community would help to get our service recognised as being a big improvement.” A visit to Fresh 4 U is ample evidence whether you come in of a morning, an afternoon or an evening for your breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or supper with your wine-quaffing friends who enjoy their nibbles elegant, exotic, locally produced and not beyond the mortgage paying pocket, that you’re going to be looked after. Impressive too is the way that Iris and David have utilised the space to produce even larger arrays of particular product ranges such as frozen vegetables for multiple taste experiences than you’ll find even in the larger supermarkets in Douglas environs. The bulk buy product ranges too compete very well with supermarkets such as Tesco. Given the impressive approach of the new management, it’s to be desired that Fresh 4 U is recognised by people local to Douglas, Grange and Donnybrook as a huge improvement on what had been there before David and Iris along with their very friendly and helpful staff came in to restore a reputation for service, value and a community orientation that’s really admirable. The ‘Fresh 4 U Douglas’ Facebook page is well worth checking out for special offers too so be sure to visit to see the big changes of this new, value added community shopping experience.

Cork language programme seeks funding to support thousands of kids

A proven language development programme in Cork city is calling for Government funding to enable it to benefit thousands of children with language needs.In its 2016 Pre-budget Submission, the Happy Talk language development programme has set out a case for matched State funding of the programme from September 2015 to July 2018.Programme Co-ordinator Aoife O’Shea said up to 50% of funding for 2015-2018 is on track to be secured though private philanthropic funding, Cork City Partnership and Cork City Council. “However, this leaves a massive 50% gap and an anchor State funding stream is urgently needed,” she said.The Happy Talk programme has been in operation since 2011 and been independently found to bring a 15% improvement in children’s speech and language skills in the Glen and Mayfield in the city’s Northside.However, Happy Talk was receiving core funding from Pobal, and more recently the HSE and Tusla, which has come to an end this summer. In response, Happy Talk has been making its case to Ministers, TDs and Government agencies but to date no State commitment has been secured.“Happy Talk is seeking matched funding from the State of €130,000 per annum for 2015-2018, or €390,000 over three years,” Ms. O’Shea said.However, she assured parents in the Glen and Mayfield that its service will continue as usual in The Glen and Mayfield from September 2015, while the search for meet the three year funding requirement will continue. If sufficient funding can be secured Happy Talk also plans to introduce the programme on Cork’s Southside in Togher and Mahon.Research has shown that up to 4-19% of children in the general population, and 50% of disadvantaged children have speech/language/communication needs (SLCN). Data from The Glen and Mayfield in Cork City showed that, prior to Happy Talk, as many as 60% of children entering school had SLCN.Each year since 2011 Happy Talk has worked successfully with 450 children, hundreds of parents and 100 Early Years Staff and Teachers. A key part of the success of Happy Talk has been that 75% of parents participated along with their children. To support the campaign people can like the Happy Talk Facebook page which includes ‘I want to Happy Talk’ pictures and videos, follow @Happy_Talk_, or use the hashtag #iwanttohappytalk.Happy talk is supported by a Consortium made up of Cork City Partnership (lead agency), HSE, Tusla, Cork City Council, UCC, Cork Education and Training Board, Cork City Childcare Company and a representative of the School Principals in the area.

QuestionI lost my job last year and I am now thinking of starting a small business. Are there any supports to help me?

Answer Local Enterprise Offices provide supports to local businesses that are starting up or in development. You can find information about their training programmes and start your own business courses on localenterprise.ie. Also, Enterprise Officers in local development companies can offer advice and information on starting your own business.If you have been getting a jobseeker’s payment for 12 months or more, you may be eligible for the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance. This allows you to keep a percentage of your payment for two years. If you are starting a business, you also may get extra supports, such as grants for training, market research, business plans and access to loans to buy equipment.

If you have been unemployed for at least 12 months and you set up a qualifying business, you may be eligible for Start Your Own Business Relief. It provides exemption from income tax on the profits from your business up to a maximum of €40,000 a year for a period of two years.Often, someone starting a small business does so as a sole trader rather than setting up a partnership or a company. However, as a sole trader, if your business fails, your personal assets could be used to pay your creditors. Your main legal obligation is that you must register as a self-employed person with Revenue. As a self-employed individual you pay tax under the self-assessment system.You may carry on your business using your own name. If you wish to use a business name you must register it. The Companies Registration Office has information about business names and different business structures on its website, cro.ie.

Neighbourhood WatchOn the 29th July last a meeting was called to set up a Neighbourhood Watch committee in Ballinacurra to help tackle the serious incidents that had occurred i.e. criminal damage, theft, assault, harassment and public order. An opening statement was given by Darragh Devlin wherein he outlined that there are individuals, who will remain nameless, that have demonstrated utter contempt and distain to our community as a collective entity. He urged the community to take reactive measures and to stand up to those unnamed individuals in a lawful manner as failure to do so will result in further detriment. Darragh then went on to explain Neighbourhood Watch i.e. a crime prevention programme aimed at getting local communities in Ireland actively involved in observing and reporting suspicious activities. He outlined the rules and the pros and cons of such a programme. A committee was then nominated and it was agreed that the village would be set up into zones with different members of the committee representing each zone. A further meeting was held on the 5th August which members of An Garda Siochana and local TD’s and Counsellors attended. Again it was a very informative meeting. It was a meeting that allowed members of the local community to outline their issues, worries and fears. But most of all it was a meeting that showed the people of Ballinacurra that they were not alone and that they had the backing and the assistance of An Garda Siochana and out local TD’s and Counsellors.

Cobh Wanderers have an opportunity to make even more history this Saturday evening at St Colman’s

Park from 7pm when they face Sligo Rovers of the Irish Premier League in the 3rd Round of the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup. The Munster Senior League club won the Second Division title last May when defeating Youghal United and having defeated Clonmel Celtic 2-0 in the 2nd Round of the cup competition, they’ve earned this tie against Sligo and the possibility of a Quarter Final berth if they overcome the men of the north west. Senior Manager Eric McCarthy took a moment from his preparations this week to speak of expectations, hopes and opportunities. A cursory look at Wanderer’s website www.cobhwanderers.ie and at their Facebook page ‘Cobh Wanderers Afc’ shows that although there is a step-up to confront Rovers in meaningful fashion that Wanderers, despite their season having effectively ended competitively in June, are a force in the Munster Senior League and will expect the team to go about the match on Saturday with resilience and the ambition to play well in front of their illustrious visitors and the Wanderers’ supporters. Eric, “The mood in the club is great right now although we’re in our pre-season. You know, it’s a great occasion for everybody associated with the club and although this is our first competitive match in a while, we’re going to approach this hopefully and also optimistically.” As we speak, Eric points out that there is a kind of precedent for the visit of Sligo Rovers, “In 1983 Sligo Rovers, who were at the time a League of Ireland side, played Cobh Ramblers no fewer than four times in the FAI Cup -there being no penalty shoot-outs in the competetition in those far off days- before eventually proceeding having twice come to St Colman’s Park which is today a shared facility between Ramblers and Wanderers. On that Ramblers side was the father of current Wanderers striker Davin O’Neill who’ll undoubtedly feature on Saturday evening. Tickets for 7pm on Saturday at St Colman’s Park will cost 10 Euro for adults, 3 Euro for anybody aged between 12 and 18, with children under 12 coming in free as guests of the club. So what does Eric think of the prospects for Saturday, “We’re the sole surviving Munster Senior League club in the competition so a performance is important to us. We feel that it’d be incredible to make history by beating Sligo and since you ask me what a win would mean to the club, you can imagine that it’d be an enormous financial injection and we’d double or even treble the gate next time around. That’s money that you can improve facilities with.” Practically every football supporter in Cork will wish Cobh Wanderers well against Rovers who, as much

as they’ve played well on several recent occasions, are currently languishing in the lower reaches of the Premiership and there may be some vulnerability on their travels to the Harbour. If you are unable to attend the ground you can check Twitter alerts by linking to ‘Cobh Wanderers AFC’. Come on, the Wanderers!!!
