This! I took as much as I could from the marriage for fear of not being able to replace it, and it took years to let go of everything. All I'm down to now is the sofa and the kitchen table and I have plans to replace the table. It's much much better this way.

I had a baby on Sunday! We induced early because I had preeclampsia, so I was in the hospital starting Friday evening but by Saturday night it was obvious that my body was not going to cooperate and we ended up with a c-section (worst thing that’s ever happened to my body) but the great thing is that the baby is…

During my divorce I was terrified, and the divorce lasted nearly a year. I filed in mid January and it wasn’t finalized until late October. My abusive husband had never been convicted of domestic abuse so he still had his guns. And he was former military with sharpshooter certifications in at least two of those guns.

I did it once. I'd stopped taking the ambien, and had gotten into the habit of a glass of wine after dinner. Then one night I was having trouble sleeping and took the ambien, not even thinking about the wine earlier. It was not good.

I recently got out of the grays. It's awesome. People can see your comments. I'm so happy for you. :)

Good for you! Deliveries like yours are what give the rest of us hope. :P

Me too! I hope your delivery was easy and uncomplicated and your recovery is fast. :) mine ended up being an emergency c-section but the baby is perfect and that's what matters most.

Soft targets like churches, hmmm? Does that mean the NRA has classified Dylan Roof as a terrorist?

That's what I said exactly. I was like, whoa there, someone's lost some weight! He looks great.

It might have been how I found it, actually. :)

That's what I tell anti-vaxxers when I encounter them. I ask them not to take their children out in public because they're a danger to the wider community. It never ever goes over well.

I love you.

I really like Breathe, which is a free app (I think). I have it on iOS, I'm not sure if it's available on android. You pick five emotions and it recommends a meditation for you. There are extra meditations you can buy but the free ones are working well for me so far.

You have a more generous spirit than I do. I saw that and immediately thought she was using a major tragedy to get some attention for herself. I suppose it's possible she feels deeply about the lgbt community but I think she'd do the same even without.

I think that there’s some people, like me (and perhaps you) that internalize their disappointment/sadness/anger and we are the ones that are more likely to be prone to self-harming behaviors at some level. And there are other people (like my ex) who would never, ever internalize disappointment or anger. Those are the…

In my neighborhood, those are incredibly prevalent as well. It's an ongoing problem with the evening walks. I feel like I should be apologizing for my apparently bigoted dog, but I don't want to draw more attention to the problem.

I have a deeply anxious, potentially depressed 110 pound behemoth of a dog. He cannot handle: 1) loud noises 2) strange people 3) balls or anything ball-shaped 4) shadows, sometimes 5) men in baseball caps 6) Tejano music 7) anything with wheels that is not a car 8) car rides, but we push him on that because he DOES…

At least your outfit allows you to breathe. Also, you can probably eat more than two grapes without freaking out your stomach, so you’ve got that going for you.

I am so old. All my doctor’s visits for this baby say “advanced maternal age.” I HATE THAT SHIT.

I'm 99% sure I haven't ever had rhubarb, either. Basically I would have starved to death.
