I went to a therapist regularly for CBT when I had better insurance. For me, a combination of CBT and SSRIs helped lessen my anxiety. I still use a lot the techniques when I feel my anxiety is getting out of control. I had a great therapist; it took a few tries to find him, which was discouraging since I was feeling…

I love this show. I need more Lincoln/Hannibal Buress making and eating a whole cake.

I was on Lexapro for a few years (10-20 mg per day depending on depression severity). My libido wasn't too bad, but my ex at the time was also taking it, and it messed his up terribly. He was still able to orgasm, it just took some work. I gained a little bit of weight, maybe 5-10 lbs, that could possibly be…

That's weird. You can definitely consume food after a local like lidocaine. You wouldn't be able to eat for a few hours to let the filling set. I think you only need to wait an hour or so with the new filling materials. Now, the ability to keep food/liquid in your mouth without being messy could be a problem.

Did you at least have local anesthetic? I've had a cavity filled where the lidocaine hadn't quite taken effect yet and it was painful. Not screaming and crying painful, but I definitely wouldn't want to feel that drilling for 15 minutes. This kid obviously had something in addition to a local anesthetic, like a benzo.

She looks great, but those hi-low dresses are terrible.

Flipping the channels to find Hocus Pocus on TV. It's one of my favorite Halloween movies! Anyone else have some seasonal favorites?

Sorry that you're going through this right now. It sounds awful. My advice is to write the letter/email, but don't send it. Write it to get your feelings out. Don't try to contact her. She may contact you in time, which may offer clarity or may make things worse, but you should do your best to focus on you right now.

Don't waste your time or breath on him. Delete his number and move on. He sounds horrible.

Go for it if it feels mostly right. Don't go for it if you know it's only a distraction (and nothing more) from your current situation. Seems like it's more than a distraction though. :)

FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt. Frieda Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Marie and Pierre Curie (use glow paint and black lights for cartoony irradiated effect). Gamer stuff: Link and Zelda. Sonic and Amy.

I feel the same. My dad often belittles one of my exes for being a creative-type person that worked a service job which allowed him to pursue his creative hobby. It never bothered me that he hadn't finished his BA and had no desire for a "real" job, as long as he was happy and able to take care of himself. Every time…

Plan B is considered to be effective at preventing ovulation for up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex. It it ineffective after fertilization.

Pet peeve of mine, but to clarify— Plan B is not an abortifacient, it's a mega dose of progesterone (or similar hormone) that delays ovulation.

Sounds like we dated the same guy. :(

Can you avoid the crush for a while? Taking a step away from the situation may offer some clarity and either reaffirm your love for your BF or be a step towards moving on. Even if moving on isn't with the crush.

What's your budget? I feel like you can never go wrong with classic styles. Look for straight-leg trousers and jeans. Keep the jeans in the dark-wash color family. While definitely perceived as stuffy and very $$$ (at least in my opinion, I'm a somewhat broke student at the moment), Ann Taylor and J. Crew provide a…

I think you're confusing ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) with acetaminophen (Tyelenol)? Acetaminophen is processed through though the liver and drinking it with alcohol can cause further liver damage. Ibuprofen is filtered through the kidneys, taking a small dose within recommended limits after drinking or during a hangover…

I want Lizzy's shoes. Anyone know the brand?

What a jerk. Toss him like last week's leftovers. You deserve better.
