This dream is a metaphor for your feelings about your former relationship. It was a sinking ship, rotting away, and you rightfully said Fuck that, and walked away. Essentially, your subconscious processing the relationship, and it’s ending, in a way that very clearly says it would have been pointless to stick around.

One thought I had was PCOS, but then had to have 2 ultrasounds in less than a year due to a miscarriage and BAM. Ovaries are fantastically non-cystic. However, a lot of the adrenal fatigue symptoms are those of PCOS, so I totally feel you. A few books that might help you as well as The Adrenal Reset Diet (Alan…

Nope. Because they know they have a hold on you (free therapy) and will manipulate counselings so you will return to provide the ‘payment’.

Don’t do it. Therapy can’t work if you have a coercive relationship with your therapist. No matter how “good” they are at their job, it's all negated without trust.

Beginners luck/ she is gorgeous

Thank you. I guess there’s no place to go but up (I hope)

Got a full time job! Now I can quit my 2 part time jobs. I’m so happy. It’s been 3.5 years since I’ve been laid off from my previous full-time job. The job market in my city is worse than the nation’s average. I’m so glad to be back on track.

My long time friend going back almost 40 years is a cop. Politically, she leans hard right (though surprisingly she is pro-choice). She is not the brightest bulb in the pack, and is probably not someone that I would choose to associate with if I met her today. I am not someone who can easily walk away from…

It’s late for new threads, but I’ll go ahead and ask for advice:

In a really weird place atm. My husband was made redundant a month ago when his firm went bust and is having trouble finding work in our area. He is the main breadwinner and without his wage we cannot afford to keep our house, which also needs renovating. He is swinging back and forth between frustration and…

Ok. So on Wednesday I’m getting an abortion. I’ve never had one before, this is the first, and hopefully will be the only. One of my best friends is going with me. I have no idea what to expect. All my friends who have had abortions all did the pill, and it sounded so miserable that I opted for the in-clinic abortion…

We’re renting “old” horror movies on Amazon tonight. First up, is The Faculty. It’s easy to forget how many big names are in some of these old horror movies!

If anyone with more details on this story can fill me in, I appreciate it.

Also, can we stop calling them ‘honor killings’? It’s murder, plain and simple. The root of the motive may be sexist, patriarchal cultural ideas, but it’s still murder. Calling it ‘honor killings’ implies there a legitimate reason for it, or that culture can be used an excuse. It cannot.

I woke up and read this story on CNN. It left me teary and angry. A young woman with opinions murdered by her own brother just for being a young woman with opinions. The waste, the loss... it’s hard to process. How does a society hope to thrive if it threatens half its members with murderous violence for the crime of…

I have a Pakistani but British born friend here in London. He’s 10 years younger than me. We live in different worlds. If you all lived in London I could name the neighbourhoods and you would know.

You mean, other than abortion clinic bombings, church shootings, forcing gay kids into conversion therapy that ends in suicides, and countless women forced to carry pregnancies that sometimes end in death to the mother? And before you tell me those aren’t “honor killings,” yes they are. All of these Fundamentalist…

Fuck. I have brothers who are religious and not at all feminists, and we’ve gotten into fights when they express sexist sentiments and such... but goddamn, I cannot even fathom this. Honor killings are atrocious and incomprehensible. Whatever your feelings about someone’s behaviour and views... that’s your fucking…

Fuck you, 2016.

Fundamentalism, in all its forms, across religions and cultures both, is a poison. Fuck them all.
