(This article is a follow-up to an article we wrote a couple months ago about beating depression and bringing a purpose to your life.)

Many people with disabilities tend to stay at home, making them ripe for depression and increased anxiety. Maybe you are in the same predicament. You would be able to get out for an hour or two each month, but because you don't know people of like interests you feel like you don't have a reason to leave the house. Here are some websites to help you meet others with similar interests.

Pharmacists Refusing to Fill Prescriptions

Why Are Pharmacists Refusing to Fill Prescriptions?

In recent months pharmacists across the country have increasingly refused to fill legitimate prescriptions for narcotic pain medications leaving thousands of people already suffering disabilities without the medication they need to live their daily lives. Many pharmacists cite pressure from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that they may lose their license if they fill to many narcotic prescriptions or too great of a quantity of pills.

The overall refusal appears to stem from the DEA’s war on illegal narcotics and attempting to prevent overdoses from prescription drugs. Over the past year the DEA has brought action against wholesalers of medicinal drugs who sold what the DEA deemed was too many narcotics to certain drug stores. This has caused the wholesalers to refuse to sell above certain limits causing a shortage of the drugs in some locations.

Trash into Food

Trash into Food

A small program started in 1999 has helped numerous homeless and downtrodden people get a start out of poverty while helping the Los Angeles community get cleaner. Food on Foot began providing meals for the needy every Sunday on the steps of Hollywood’s post office in 1996. In 1999 the organization began recruiting members of the homeless community to pick up litter in exchange for food gift cards.

Christmas Help

Making a Better Christmas

The effects of the recent recession are still being felt by families across the nation. Christmas remains bleak for many people who are trying to determine how to purchase gifts for their children or find a good meal to enjoy. Fortunately, there are many organizations that step up to fill the gap and help make the holiday season a happier time. However, despite numerous donations, it is recommended that requests for toys and gifts be made sooner rather than later.

Caregiver’s Month

Caregiver’s Month

About 65 million people across the country are undertaking the responsibility of caring for a sick or injured loved one. Many people undertook the responsibility over time as sickness set in, while others had it thrust upon them suddenly and without warning. Both situations are better handled through a support team and there is help available! November’s National Caregivers Month is a great time to highlight some of the help that is available.

COPD Awareness Month

COPD Awareness Month

The well-known expression, “water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink” is a fitting expression for COPD. Air is all around a person who is suffering from this disease but they are unable to get the life-saving oxygen into their lungs and essentially suffocate. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is also called chronic bronchitis and emphysema. According to the American Lung Association COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Every November is set aside to create public awareness for this killing disease which affects an estimated 24 million Americans.

Diabetes Awareness Month

Diabetes Awareness Month

November is Diabetes Awareness month which allows a moment to reflect on how the disease affects the American population. Approximately one person in twelve currently has diabetes while another one in four have prediabetes or are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Nearly two million adults were diagnosed in 2010 alone. With statistics like this everyone knows of someone whose life is affected. The American Diabetes Association estimates that the national cost of the disease is $245 billion.
