Wow. Years - not one medical professional ever even mentioned seizures to me. But even if they didn't understand, it seems kind of weird that no one ever thought to have my brain checked out - because even I can tell it's my brain. I'm going to look into this further. Thanks for sharing.

also, I can't talk during them. I can't hear people in the background, because I here echoes of other people/sounds or buzzing. Mine only last for seconds at a time, but they are scary. Sometimes anxiety can make me also go into a dissociative state - those last longer, hours really. I feel like my body parts and…

So why does my GP give me 90 .5 mgs of Xanex at a time, with multiple refills? I've actually asked to be given less, and I guess this last time she forgot. It's just - I think I'm better at using them more judiciously when I have fewer. It sort of scares me to have so many available. I don't abuse them, but the…

holy shit. I have looked this up multiple times and only found it on message boards. I get these too - a weird perspective shift happens in my brain, I get chills, sometimes I hear echoes of the déjà vu conversation; it's disassociative and terrifying. They are often person specific for me (man who caused my…

I want to listen to all the Tori again right now. She saved me, many times.

I said aloud, "nice try with the subliminal advertisement NBC!"

Yes, that was a real puzzler.

I'm pretty sure that this thread kept me from bursting into tears just now. So - thanks all.

And teachers do it to each other too. Comments about "inappropriate" clothes are catty and common.

wow. I scrolled up to check out this "come hither" stare. She's just giving a "REALLY?" look. In anticipation of your comment.

this is some high level shaming here. What a humble brag about how proud she was about being able to feed her baby and "win" the weight gain game at the ped's. It this satire? If so, it must be funny. Otherwise, this bitch should STFU. Nobody told you that bullshittery because most of us didn't have that experience.…

sure, there's snark in your posts, but I'm truly fascinated by this subculture and all the rules. I actually really liked the sincerity of the team analogy in the second report - girl was making sense to me. I may not necessarily have been interested in being in a sorority I college - the one pledge thingee I went…

Thank goodness!

A sensible teacher would have them mostly behind the teacher's desk. And most of my kids would not pelt each other with cans. Gum wrappers, sure.

It might be stupid. But you know what most plans are? Have the kids and teachers stand in the corner, in the dark, silent and helpless. So - if someone comes in, just stand there? Or throw shit? What would you do? I don't know that they needed to publicize the canned good idea, but some protection is better than…

I thought it would be a pair of feet together and the vagina would be in between the arches...why did we think of these things?

yes, you genius! Or mix and match, whatever...

Is it weird that I noticed the tasteful French manicure first? And that I wondered why they didn't have multiethnic options? And that I desperately still wished I knew that girl from my dorm in college who was terrified of feet so I could send her pictures of this? This vagankle made my night! Loving it! Safe, harms…

I've done it too, and it remains the healthiest adult decision. Stay strong!

literally, my entire family. All of them. It's surreal.
