I imagine it was the swim team’s pictures. 

I have a neurostim and take a cocktail of medication. The neurostim isn’t perfect, but it does help. Have you ever gone the neurostim route?

I also have CRPS! I don’t come across many other people who have it.

I have CRPS,too! I would also be a little embarrassed to use the button, so I would probably use it only on the absolute worst days. It would be a good option to have, though.

Sephora has an app that lets you “try on” every lipstick they carry. You take your picture and you can see how you’ll look in any lipstick. They also do it for false eyelashes. I’ve found the colors are pretty true-to-life.

I just came across this article: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/stanford-…

I also have CRPS. I’ve never met anyone else in real life who has it, but there are a few of us on Jezebel. I’m sorry you have to deal with it, too :(.

The first time my (now ex-) wife got my violent with me (we’re both women, not that it really matters), I tried to leave and she threatened to kill all my pets. Of course, I stayed that night, and ended up staying about six months longer before I was able to leave. The violence and threats toward both me and the pets…

Thank you for saying that. This thread has been a little upsetting for me because I am recently divorced from a person who suffered from mental illness. I tried harder than you can imagine to get her the help she needed, but if someone doesn’t want help, there is only so much you can do. It started out with…

One of my rapists was someone who I had had consensual sex with once. When it happened, some of my “friends” minimized it and said it wasn’t “rape rape,” but was instead some sort of grey area. Never mind that I told the guy no over and over, the fact that I once had consensual sex with him apparently meant he had a…

Raisins have even ruined Girl Scout cookies?! That is horrible.

The ghost hug is adorable! I hadn’t seen that before.

I’m sorry. My parents are far from perfect when it comes to my lesbianism, but they love me no matter what and have come to accept it in their own ways. Would my mom change me if she could? Maybe? Not sure. But she loves me and would do anything for me. Parents like yours are horrible. I have several friends with…

Maybe today will be the day! It’ll feel so good when it’s finished.

Abusers are more alike than they are different, it seems. I was a little shocked when my ex moved in the man who was abusing her friend as a roommate after I moved out. Abusers stick together, I guess. She thought he was a horrible person until she started doing similar things to me, then she had a million excuses for…

I’m glad you got out safely. He sounds a lot like my ex. The day she realized I was serious about it being over, she destroyed tons of stuff. It was very scary. The one time I tried to call a friend to come get me, she threatened to kill my pets if I left, so, of course, I stayed. It was all my fault, she said,…

I hope your papers come soon, too! I really wish I knew what was taking so long for mine. The hearing was in October, so I thought for sure I would have the final papers in my hands already. It’ll feel so much better when it’s over. My (nice, new, non-abusive) girlfriend is going to throw me a divorce party once it’s…

Thanks. I’m working on it. The divorce filing happened in April, the trial happened in October, and we’re still waiting for the judge’s decision. I was hoping it would be done a long time ago! She was the one to file for divorce in a last ditch effort to control me (she thought that if she filed, I would beg for her…

I replied to the person you replied to, but I’ll copy and paste it here to make sure you see it, too, because it sounds like we might have had similar experiences. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with it, too. It’s hell.
