Nigel with the Brie is not dead! He's happily married living in CA and he was the best man at my wedding :)
Before I clicked I was thinking "It won't be based mainly on the anonymous hack, right? where the victim is just a catalyst for a story about some dudes versus some other dudes, right?"
I think I just embarrassed myself as a first-time poster by responding to a thread instead of starting my own? I'm struggling with dealing with elderly parents who live out of state. So far we've been pretty good, but one sis is bearing the brunt. Here's the thing: I'm childless and HATE my job. I've also read lots…
I think being honest about it is helpful. I am an angry crier, which I'm learning to accept. I'm also easily overwhelmed (recently figured out that I'm on the autism spectrum) - and I tend to cry when I get overwhelmed. So anything calming, soothing is good. Yoga definitely helps - but then, so does a hike, or even a…
Ditto on the Peter Levine book. Also, yoga - connecting to my body has helped me immensely, and learning where the "I" is when the emotions need to work their way through.
You're so lucky to have a mom like that.
I can sympathize although I don't have any great advice. I cry if I feel very angry or if I don't have control over something important. This only bothers me because it is SO counterproductive, preventing me from getting my point across to whoever is making me mad/holding the power. I find that it helps me when I…
would love to hear ways to help my 11 yo son thru this too. He lives life close to his emotions and close to tears. I encourage him to always feel the feelings and tell him that there's nothing wrong with crying (changes the brain chemistry, etc) but there are times in life....for instance if others are being mean,…
At least for me, I find that I tend to have my emotions closest to the surface when I don't let them out in appropriate outlets. (As in, it's when I'm incredibly angry at my mother but don't express it to her that I tend to cry during a Hallmark commercial, or it's when I'm frustrated with a coworker and bottle it up…
I, too, am quick to cry at inconvenient moments. I'm going to second what the forgotten beatle said, as well as what your mom said! I usually give myself a swift, mental slap upside the head and then immediately attempt to formulate a plan/focus on the situation at hand and not the tears that are doing their best to…
I don't know if this will be helpful for you at all, but when I find myself getting really upset I have to give myself a stern talking-to, mentally. It sounds a little funny, but I sometimes say to myself, "alright, shut the eff up. You're being a baby. Pull it together." Then I get a little kinder with myself and…
So this title sounds a little bit crazy but this book helped me so much and I've heard from a lot of people that it helped them too. It's something that applies to a wide range of things people have trouble with.
Stedman's one to talk about not pulling the trigger.
Winnie's fast become my favourite character and is essentially a quirky male to Jess's quirky female. Which is a role black men never ever get. The phantom period pains was genius.
Hooray! Here's a clip for anyone who cares. Sorry it isn't embedded. https://www.google.com/search?q=jenna…
Am I correct in assuming your username is a 30 Rock reference? That plus your comment would make you my favorite person of the day.
Oh my god. If this ceremony lasts another minute I'm going to blow my fucking brains out #LaurenandKevinsMagicalFairytale
I get that people are jumping down your throat right now, but I worry you're missing the point. You shouldn't be jumping in here to assuage all small breasted women that you, as a man, find their bodies to be okay by your standards.
Can someone explain to me why the Dirt Bag label doesn't show up any longer on the homepage blog - i.e., I have to click on a post with a heading that *sounds* like it might be a Dirt Bag in order to see, yes it is a DB or no it is not. Just an odd update to the site, imo.
