Sorry, no help here; only commiseration. I'm really sick of programming.

Oh man, when I first started Zoloft, my friend was all, "but won't your sex life be worse?" My response was, "maybe if I'm medicated I'll finally be able to HAVE one." Something is better than nothing, for me.

Anyone have any other success stories? Zoloft didn't work out for me, and after some poor anxiety-influenced choices this weekend, I'm thinking about trying meds again.

Ooh, I haven't seen that yet. Maybe I'll check it out, thanks!

This anecdote may be really unhelpful, but I went through a similar stage about a year ago. After a while, I had to limit the amount of time I spent alone in my apartment. I started spending A LOT of time at the public library, and ended up making friends with a few of the librarians. I was still pretty depressed,…

I can't speak for other schools, but my university has a writing center where you can get help on any writing- papers, applications, essays, etc. If you're thinking about a specific school, I would definitely contact disability services and see what they can do for you.

I'm really sorry. I'm glad that you're enjoying your time with your cat, and I hope that you can find a way to get through everything that's going on. I wish there was more I could say.

Yesterday brought a resurgence of test anxiety and some other bad news. I barely managed to answer two of the eight questions on my exam. I also got rejections from two summer internships and three scholarships. I now have nothing lined up for summer and it looks like I won't be able to study abroad next year.

In most cities, police operate on a varied response time. There are a few crimes to which they respond immediately: assault, armed robbery, etc. As for the rest, police showing up within a broader time interval is normal, acceptable, and usually makes no difference in terms of resolving the issue.

As a math and physics major, I've noticed this trend as well. I think a contributing factor to the high-performance aspect is pressure: it's pretty easy to get ignored or written off when you're a girl in STEM. The best way to fight that is to be really good. For me, being an 'average' woman in physics is way…

See, and that's why it's so fucked up to put your trust in some higher being. You don't want the position and know you'll be bad at it? SAY NO.

I had no idea that there even WAS a stereotype of gendered-vinyl. Jesus Christ, that's the stupidest thing I've heard all day.

Seriously. I just learned about Shirley Chisholm a few weeks ago *shame*

"depressed kelp" is EXACTLY what my hair was when it was long. Pixie cuts forever!

Oh no, I'm so sorry. As someone who has lost a few friends, it can be so hard. I wish I could give you advice, but I can't.

See, I mistakenly thought they were the target audience of 'Magic Mike.' I mean, I should have known Hollywood wouldn't have done that, but the only male strippers I've known (3- not a large sample size by any means) have worked in gay clubs.

A-fucking-men.

I'm working on it, but it's a pretty slow process. Reminding myself how stupid it is for two people to be stuck waiting for each other is my main motivation at the moment.

Thanks! I sort of knew that this was the best course of action; sometimes I just need to hear it from someone else so I can get my ass in gear. I really do appreciate it!

I'm sorry that happened. I love running, and I get really excited when I hear about other people doing it too! I hope your first race is a good experience for you.
