I'm hoping to finally get to them this week. Hopefully they can help.

My therapist offered to do phone/skype appointments but unfortunately I have no private space to have those. I could just imagine what might happen if those conversations were overheard.

I can only really respond about my husband who is equally frustrated and also at the end of his rope. At this point our plan is to move out as soon as we can afford it, but until then just wait it out as best we can. He's talked to her twice already about her behavior, but she just brushes him off. He has spent all…

Doing that would mean crossing my MIL, she held a grudge for 5 years with her brother for much less. As much as I feel I need to do this, the idea of family drama on a scale I've never encountered scares me. I don't want to ruin the relationship my husband has with the rest of his family, but I honestly feel I'm…

Oh and just adding that my dog is also my emotional support animal, so having her banned to the yard is putting further stress on my emotional state.

So not really looking for advice, just for someone to tell me I'm not a terrible person for feeling this way. Longish story ahead:

My Fundamentals of Education professor is terrible! His class has zero structure and he peppers assignment details through long, droll ramblings about his years teaching high school that are not at all relevant to the class and gets frustrated when we don't write everything he says down. He actually encouraged…

Best comment so far. The show promotes some seriously unhealthy behaviors, but hardly anyone speaks out until now. In my own opinion, Rachel looks dehydrated at worst. A good amount of water would probably put get around 110 since contestants basically fast and stop drinking water to maximize their chances before the…

Yes. I'm a mere 5' tall and never wore above a size 2. I'm about 118 now and the heaviest I've ever been. I'm not healthy right now because a hip injury last year has left me almost sedentary and my diet is poor because I'm not living on my own and making my own meals/doing the grocery shopping like I used to. At my…

This. Spent my whole life being shamed for my weight (or lack thereof). I've been accused of eating disorders, called "skinny bitch" etc. by supposed friends, and told to "shut the fuck up" if I dare enter a conversation about weight all by people who wouldn't hesitate to call anyone out if they mentioned anything…

I would give you all of the stars if I could. This is what I try to say about this topic but fail at doing so quite this eloquently. I always felt that it was wrong to discourage all children from being "feminine" in the name of equality as if femininity were the villain. I don't ascribe a gender to myself outside of…

I'm pretty sure everyone but Miley missed the memo on MDMA legalization (/sarcasm)

Except it turned out she was legitmately a psychotic break and a lot of her behavior outside of partying and drugs seemed to suggest that.

Just no. This type of conjecture only serves to further marginalize the truly mentally ill. Being bipolar doesn't make someone act like Bieber. Mental illness isn't the only explanation when a person is an asshole.

My first exposure to this case was a Dateline episode before the last appeal which acquitted Knox and Solecito. After that I read as many articles as I could on it and managed to read a couple of legal analysts reviews on the case that included court documents. From that I became of the opinion that both are innocent…

I found a curly specialist not too far from me, but im not wanting to bite the bullet on a $70 cut that I might hate. I mean my hair grows an inch a month as it is, but I'm cheap and hate spending money in a cut just to tie it all back in a bun/ponytail forever. The 2 best cuts I've had were both shorter than chin…

I need to check if we have one. I don't like ordering anything but books or clothes online, so I want to avoid that if I can.

I've been meaning to get some but I'd need to research where to buy it near me. This damned suburb mostly just has large chains that don't cater to natural hair.

I do an old long sleeve tee shirt alot but the humidity of the shower always causes frizz. I've done two caps also and I usually end up wanting to rip my hair out just trying to get them on. I actually think my hair would be easier to manage if it were kinky but I have 3c curls and enough hair that when I donate it,…

I do argan oil every now and then when I start getting flaky. It works but it's too expensive for regular use. I already buy $13 conditioner and $15 leave in that runs out in about 3 weeks.
