Oh my gosh I did not in the least mean to brow-beat you and I am so sorry that evidently my usual tactlessness came off that way. I really am, I mean it! I know I can be harsh and well, basically, I have no tact. I'm sorry.

Hi. I have not been through this particular thing, so I have no wisdom to share. But I do want to say: Good for you. You're being so brave. You can do it. And good luck.

I just want to say that you should be proud of what you are doing. It takes guts to talk about it and take the necessary steps. I think you are going to be okay. Please keep us updated. I am rooting for you!

Counseling for sure, and maybe some sort of support group. I understand how you feel about your therapist, I've been in a similar situation. Can you talk about your fear of being judged, etc, when you bring up the topic?

I'd also probably post about being abused growing up too.

Go look at the post that I made earlier today, of the massive, insane message she sent me. I'm getting help filing a restraining order with the YWCA though, so I'm stoked.

As a reasonably high-functioning moderate alcoholic myself, given my other health problems (which make it difficult if not impossible to get motivated to do anything about it), the first thing I have to say is that you are right, that is a lot of drinking. I'm more of a binger, and tend to get blasted every week or…

You are a good Great Clips tipper. Bless you. Some of the stylists at those quick places do a good job too. If you find one who gives you a good cut, try to stick with that person.

I did hair for ten years. Most people tipped around 20%. They generally rounded up. On a $60 service people usually tipped ten or fifteen dollars.

I don't get my brows done, but I generally tip my stylist 20%. That said, she and I are kinda friends and hang out sometimes. I tipped my old stylist 15% and I personally feel comfortable within that range. But that's just me. A friend of mine only ever tips 10% at the salon, no matter what.

That sounds so tough, but hopefully the CBT will really help. I heard this interview the other day and it was really interesting and enlightening. The author also said CBT helped him immensely. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2…

I have OCD, too and I had DBT (so not CBT) a few years ago in college. I'm not sure how you feel about medication, but that is the only thing helping a bit with my intrusive thoughts/obsessions/etc. It doesn't go away completely, but it certainly makes coping a lot better. I talked to my friend's bf who was going…

I went through some very similar things and I get it. Great for telling your partner and starting CBT...that's a huge hurdle you already passed

I have just started The Fall, while finishing Walking Dead. I also started Scandal and Lost. I have a Netflix problem.

I'm currently binge-watching the newest season of The Fall. Any other Jezzies out there doing this tonight? So good!

This is the best place I can get an answer to my burning question!

Hope it gets better soon...

I'm really grateful for this open, anonymous space right now. This week I was diagnosed with OCD. I don't have too many rituals, but I have "intrusive thoughts" like crazy. I'm so anxious and high strung because of them all the time and as it's also exam time (I'm in grad school) so I have to keep reminding myself…

Sorry lover. If it makes you feel better, I got "dumped" by my hot employer. Fuckers just can't handle a woman with an opinion.

So, my Jezzie sisters, what's the haps? I just finished my first beer of the night (Shiner Birthday Chocolate Bock, I HIGHLY reco. It tastes like chocolate cake), my 6 month old is jumperoo-ing like a BOSS, my in laws will be here shortly to watch said 6 month old and big bro and the husband and I are going out to buy…
