CBT was actually really helpful in addressing my PTSD from rape. It didn’t involve confronting my attacker, but it did involve confronting my memories of and responses to the rape. My panic attacks are now nearly non-existant, and I no longer blame myself because I know that logically, it’s not my fault.

This is my mom too. Her master room has an alcove for a dresser and desk, and it’s filled with a 2 foot pile of mail. It concerns me because she already has problems getting around, and I almost hurt myself just trying to get to the other end of her bed.

I still remember being pulled out of class and being berated by the 7th grade science teacher for correcting something she said in class. I still remember how bad the humiliation felt.

True. My husband stole a care when he was 20 and completely drunk. He served 6 months and has a felony on his record. But the judge in his case didn’t care one bit about his promise (despite the fact that since then, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCI with a degree in Chemistry and is almost finished with his PhD…

From the other comments, they live in San Diego. $400,000K MIGHT get you a 1BD house, but good luck. A 1-2BD condo, maybe.

You’re lucky. Mine did multiple times, even in the snow (in the middle of rural Nebraska, to boot).

Do you really think Hilary will be able to get legislation passed though either? Republicans seem to rabidly hate her, and I feel like it's going to be another 4-8 years of obstruction because the president will (most likely) be a Democrat and the Republicans will still control Congress. The Dems seriously need to…

Last time I ate there, I had gravel in my mashed potatoes. I wasn't offered anything to sub, nor was my meal comped.

There's one in Lake Forest too.

How do they know that the lack of hormonal birth control alone isn’t the cause of (slightly) increased sexual drive. I mean, I’d be horny daily if it wasn’t for my pills (at least until the pain started from another cyst).

I never had the money for any of the dolls, but loved most of the books as a kid. The books are reasonably priced. I actually didn’t even know there were dolls until after I already had 2 full sets of books (and multiple single books for all of the other characters at the time).

That’s the ENTIRE POINT of the quote. Myself, and every other woman I know has feared for their life when rejecting a man before. do I think thinks that all men are capable of killing women? Of course not? That’s ludicrous. But every time I’ve rejected the advances of someone I didn’t know well, that’s always been a…

California doesn’t permanently bar felons from voting (I think the ban is 7 years), so that wouldn’t be an issue for him anyway.

So you’re saying people who don’t have children (and never will) won’t invest their money, buy real estate, and set up 401ks just because they don’t have heirs to pass it to? That’s ridiculous. True that I’m going for a lower paying career (teaching biology rather than profiting off pharmaceutical research) because I…

I think this is how my fiancee and I are so at odds when it comes to issues of money. He thinks he can spend money left and right because his mother has always given him short term loans (or outright gifts) to cover credit card bills if he overspends. I’ve only asked my dad twice for financial help after I moved out…

Sorry, I also misread.

Yes, it does. I wanted to get my ovaries removed due to numerous problems with ovarian cysts, but my OBGYN won’t let me because going through menopause at my age (28) is risky and greatly increases my chances for breast cancer. Not only does removal of your egg source (ovaries) by definition cause menopause because…

Not to mention what a massive waste of helium that is.
