Tutorial: Make a Dry Erase Board for Under $5!

     Nothing keeps me organized like a list, but the OCD side of me has to make a new list as I cross things off, cause who likes a messy list?  The result is 17 little scraps of paper a day.  Well, no more!  Yesterday when I was at Walmart, I swiped a $3 picture frame from their cheapie section, and went to town.  Here's what I made and how I did it.




 Here is the junky frame to start.


 I painted two coats of craft grade acrylic paint (the kind that costs less than a buck at Michael's), and sanded some areas for a shabby chic distressed look.  Here is a close-up of the distressing.

I then cut a piece of coordinating scrapbook paper and placed it in the frame.


The finished product!  As my tasks are completed, I simply wipe them off the board!

Cost: 
Frame $3
Dry erase markers (set of 2) $1.47
Paper and paint (I had on hand)

Time:
1 Hour

  5. Obsessive-compulsive treatment
    OCD treatment is a complex process that is not guaranteed to be effective and successful in all cases.

    Sometimes, lifelong treatment may be needed. However, treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder can be useful in helping the patient cope with symptoms, encounter them and prevent them from controlling the course of his life.

    Key points
    There are two main types followed in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder:

    Psychotherapy
    Drug therapy
    The best and most effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder varies according to the patient himself, his personal situation and preferences, and the combination of psychotherapy and drug therapy is often very effective.

    Psychiatric treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder
    The so-called "cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT" treatment has proven to be the most effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder, both among children and adults.

     The psychiatrist should be informed of all emerging side effects and side effects and be consulted with regard to the monitoring and follow-up measures that must be taken during the use of psychotherapeutic drugs, specifically: antipsychotic drugs.

    Some medicines may cause dangerous interactions when taken together with other medicines, certain foods, or other substances.

    The doctor must be informed of all medications and preparations that do not require a prescription, including vitamins, salts, and medicinal herbs.

    Other methods of treating obsessive-compulsive disorder:
    Sometimes, medications and / or psychotherapy may not be feasible enough to treat the symptoms of OCD.

    In rare cases, other methods of treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder are used, among them:

    The patient is admitted to the psychiatric department
    Electroconvulsive therapy - ECT
    Intracranial magnetic stimulation
    Deep brain stimulation.
    Basically, these methods have not been tested as obsessive-compulsive methods, so you should make sure that you understand and understand their positives, negatives and risks, if any.
