Not gross, just rude: I was seeing a pain specialist for vulvodynia. If you’ve experienced pelvic pain, you know how sensitive and embarrassing it can be — like any sexual dysfunction, it can feel humiliating to talk about.

It’s been about 6 months for me. I still battle with feeling “crazy” and “broken” every day. I feel lucky to be diagnosed at a time when people are talking about and understanding it more, but the stigma still really sucks. Best of luck to you, fellow BPD warrior, and I wish you a ~wise mind~ along the way :)

Treatment for personality disorders (specifically, the ones that would lead to reckless & impulsive behavior) is often really similar to addiction treatment, actually! While they’re sometimes harder to treat than mood disorders, treatment like DBT can be very effective in at least reducing the impact of symptoms. It’s…

Side note on Sexaholics Anonymous: it’s completely bonkers. There are several 12 step groups for sex addiction, and the most recommended one these days is Sex and Love Addicts Anonymois (SLAA).

Hi, this is a great comment, I don't know what it means but I love it.

What stage is this? Sounds like a really depressing show if you ask me.

Hey, thanks for this. I was assaulted twice, both in situations where I consented to certain conditions and those conditions weren’t met. I feel weird calling those “assaults,” but they felt like violations — even though I really would have been cool with everything I did with those people under different…

And THAT’S victim blaming.

Lucky you to not have to hear it all the time. It is disgustingly “a thing” — it’s any startup not taking outside investments.

I’m referring more to going to the best college for her (yeah, I get money issues, but “cheap ass college?”), not texting, and being “netnannied.”

So your paranoia means your kid can't have a life? Cool...

Wait what? I have one of these sitting next to my bed right now. It was my favorite childhood beanie baby! We knew it would maybe be worthwhile someday but then nothing came of the beanie baby craze. Is this real?!?! I named it Di! It has a poem about the Diana’s death in the tag!

4,000. Not 40,000.

...What? Did you even read what I wrote?

That's a great point. When I first joined Alpha Chi at Columbia, I'd tell guys at mixers that I hadn't "really joined" because we had a reputation of being unattractive but "nice" and were made fun of for it. I am ashamed of how I acted as a freshman and I own up to it now as being both a symptom and a perpetuation of…

Hey fellow alumnae, looks like we joined at the same time! I was on the recruitment committee one sad, sad year and I slept in the townhouse for about 3 hours of recruitment. IT WAS NOT GOOD.

For reference, this is the least insane sorority at Columbia. I lived with a girl in one of the other ones who took hundreds of dollars of fines during recruitment because she wasn't allowed to show up because her dress had "embellishments" after she literally bought something they had sent out in the "suggested…

As an alumnae of this chapter, we definitely weren't wealthy. It costs only $10 to rush (it was just $5 when I did!). We had a Facebook group where we sent around sale items and shared a lot of clothes.

I'm an alumn of this chapter and I remember these powerpoints well.
