I worked as a wilderness guide in a rehab for young adults 18+ and most of our clients didn’t have wilderness experience and were somewhat unwillingly (at least, at first) backpacking around for weeks without showers and whatnot. Many of them were chill, but many were horrified, and I mean horrified, about shitting in…

This is what happens when we give people’s opinions the same intellectual consideration as scientific facts.

As a step-dad who has already completed his Christmas shopping list for his step-son and loves him dearly, I suggest you start using a different analogy.

I did this too!!! I was so soooo painfully quiet, shy and insecure in HS, so when I got called up at the graduation party by the hypnotist, I decided this was *MY MOMENT!!!* I totally faked being hypnotized, said and did silly things that made the whole class laugh, and for the finale put on a hot pink wig and…

My lie cost me thousands.

When I was in the second grade, I got in trouble for some thing or another. I don’t remember what. But I had to bring a note home and get it signed by my mom, then bring it back the next day. Not wanting to get in more trouble, I decided to cunningly forge my mom’s signature. I spent entire minutes practicing to…

The trial is supposed to start on Election Day? Damn, that’s bad timing for him.

Thank you! For someone that insists she’s a real artiste she sure spends a lot of time ripping off Madonna, Bowie and Elton John. Kudos to Gaga for playing her own instruments tho. But nothing she has done is groundbreaking. The fact that she can sing has protected her from a lot of criticism.

I write all my own music

Orily Taitz is Kellyanne Conway’s spirit animal

I don’t think Marco Rubio can run on both tickets at once.

$20 says she’s a Trump supporter

There’s a compound somewhere near Galt’s Gulch where she and Joe the Plumber are both living on foodstamps.

Seconded that you need to do some real therapy sessions with a psychiatrist before going on medication. I went on Lexapro years ago. It did not change my personality. If anything, it made me more “me” than I had felt in a long time, because I was able to focus on things other than my anxiety. It was definitely not a…

There are over 2000 posts now! I’m going to add my story, though I doubt many of you will see it.

Find and talk to a mental health professional about this first. Get a referral from your GP if necessary. GPs are not mental health professionals and should not be prescribing you antidepressants without referring you to someone for maintenance. You should be talking to a counselor or therapist while on meds, ideally…

The house where I grew up was pretty new - way newer than any of the other houses on the block. A typical one-story ranch house that you might see in any stretch of American suburbia. Likewise, all the furniture in the house was pretty par for the course. My room had a little-kid bed, a nightstand, a table and chairs…

I was napping in our guest room one Monday morning when I woke up to hearing someone running up and down the stairs, and the swishing of track pants. ‘Give me five minutes Daniel,’ I said, assuming it was my son. Then I sat up with a start - it was Monday. My son was in school. The footsteps and swishing continued. I…

Way back, when I was a wee one, we used to live in a house that was haunted. Virtually every night, you could hear the sounds of someone walking up and down the hallway. Family photos would always wind up askew, if not fall off the wall entirely. The door to the master bedroom would occasionally slam shut (and lock)…

Yes, I have been waiting for this! I’ve always been away before, but this time I am ready, though I’m in the grays. Oh well.
