So I moved to a new country following a breakup with a guy six months ago. I'm making loads of friends and having a good time, but I've noticed that I think about the male friends way more than the female friends, though I'm in no way romantically interested in them. They're in my mind more, I want to spend time with…

This is why hijabs/niqabs often pose a security risk. Not always, obviously...

Nah, that was Mel B on BFQOTY. She had just broken up with her husband and she was in a savage mood, it was a little uncomfortable to watch.

Wow. Please contact 3Mobile and ask them for a response!

She's probably his grandma.

He says shit like that for the media coverage, as every time Ryanair are mentioned in the media, sales go up.

Michael O'Leary, the asshole CEO, has said that every time RyanAir is mentioned in the media, sales go up. Doesn't matter if the coverage is positive or negative. He regularly spouts more contrary bullshit, e.g. he's planning to charge people to use the toilets on board. Website traffic and flight sales go up. It's…

Well, since you ask the question so nicely...

The app Headspace teaches mindfulness meditation in a fun, gamified way, and meditation is excellent for depression. The Australian website Moodgym and the Scottish website Moodjuice have CBT exercises/courses that are free and reasonably easy to follow. The book Mind Over Mood is great for depression, and the…

I think I know the feeling. It's awful when projects that I run are canned, it feels like all my work was for naught and I tend to take the feeling of failure on myself. I try to tell myself that my work was good and I gained skills from the experience, even if I have nothing tangible to show for it.

It sounds like the issues in your relationship were there before the baby, but it's gotten much worse since the birth. As you say, this is quite common. I think every couple should read Gottman's Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, but here's another great book by the same author:

I'm an American living in London, and I am constantly amused (and dismayed) by the complete lack of knowledge by Europeans on what health care actually costs.

Me too! Did my BA in Ireland for free, paid £4,000 for my MSc in the UK, British people all look at me like I have two heads when I say I have no student debt. And even though they pay a max of £36,000 for a four year Bachelor's degree in the UK, it's several times cheaper than the US.

I think the poster was being self-deprecating and recasting her own struggle as a funny story rather than mocking EDs, but you're right, bulimia isn't taken seriously enough. Many people do believe that bulimia and anorexia are rich-vain-white-girl choices, and the families of people with ED often don't understand…

Being trans* is not a mental disorder, and has not been considered a disorder for some time now.

I emigrated, but I'm still registered to vote. I'll go home for the 2015 referendum on marriage equality, but I don't like/trust any party enough to come home for the general election.

It's hard to say that the opinions of the family got in the way here when six to nine (reports vary depending on which newspaper you read) medical experts unanimously said that life support should be withdrawn, calling the situation grotesque.

An article published in the Irish Times last week.

I take that as a grave insult! :P

Ah I see, I think you think you replied to pineappleimpressed then. As someone following both Irish and UK media, I don't think I've ever seen Irish clergy weigh in on abortion debates, but I have seen US-Catholic-sponsored organisations like Youth Defence featured in almost every TV and radio panel.
