I’m glad to see it’s possible! Someday for me, maybe...

I was forced to take liquid albuterol as a kid. It had the most horrific fake strawberry taste. In case you were wondering.

Most therapists aren’t equipped to work with trauma patients. My current shrink is a trauma specialist, and I have done EMDR, ACT, and mindfulness - all of which have helped me. Sorry you never got adequate care.

Why am I not surprised that Sheryl Sandberg and Malcolm Gladwell are friends? They deserve each other.

Hah, no, I didn't pay - I went to both when they were having special events, so I got 30 minutes free at MAC and around the same at MUS, but I bought like 600sek of stuff because the concealer and brightening pencil she used were magic and then I was sooooo close to getting a free make up case. Next time I have some…

Oh man Connie, I went twice here in Sthlm and got terrible photos each time (Once at The Make Up Store at PUB and once at the MAC counter at the Ahléns at T-Centralen). They also gave me a blank stare when I asked for "the usual" (one of the girls at The Make Up Store called Swedes cowards and boring when it comes to…

Who knew my limp high school hair would be trendy 10 years later! I can't look at that photo without reflexively cringing.

False equivalency. He did exactly what people said Assange should have done after the Wikileaks release. Even if he read everything, that wouldn’t mean he understood it. Greenwald, the Guardian, and the NYT were good choices.

Beats what Assange did!

Snowden came off pretty well in this interview. Is Citizenfour worth seeing?

I was born in Bay Ridge, the Poconos are really like the wilds of Long Island in hellishness. The only good thing I can think of about living there was finding my cat in the woods. My dad actually worked on the floor of the NYSE before we moved in the early 90s... And immediately lost his job after we moved.

Is it weird my first thought was that this is as staged as Millihelen’s “stars doing their hair” photos?

Ahahaha, I’m from Middle Smithfield Township, you could not pay me to live there again.

The winters aren’t the problem... it’s everything else about that place.

I’m from the Poconos, so I know exactly what you’re talking about. It really REALLY is not worth sacrificing your kids for.

When I read about these kinds of experiences, I just honestly don’t understand them. I have no connection to the town I grew up in, no friends back home, I was never part of the community. I didn’t really experience the good parts, how could I miss it? I’ll always feel more culturally connected to the city where I was…

Vitameata *hic* vegamin!

Let me know if you do! With the weak krona it's not worth it for me to use a shipping service.

There's been some work in that area, actually — PTSD in children looks a lot like ADHD, and there's been pilot programs in schools showing that trauma focused care works.

What I was trying to get at is that there is no one silver bullet to cure depression — just like there will never be one single treatment to cure all cancers. Even in something as specific as, say Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, there are multiple gene deletions and transcriptions that cause the same symptoms (complete…
