You sound awesome. They are awesome coping strategies.

I hear you! I am overly sensitive to alcohol too. After just one drink, I feel more down and nauseous the next day. Sometimes people just don't seem to get that it's not worth drinking for me, and they make comments saying that I'm being boring or something. It's a bit sad sometimes because it's like they think you…

It is so hard to keep a routine, especially what the skincare Gods demand. Paula's Choice has a 10% exfoliation thingy though that's really good and you can just slap it on one or two nights a week before going to sleep.

Maybe it's just because we're all still teenagers at heart.

I'm on yasmin and also a really low (25mg) dose of spiro. I've been on spiro for two months and it hasn't really helped so far. I can feel about 3 potential cysts waiting to come out on my forehead. I also blast them with a bluelight device whenever I get one.

That's a good tip. I'm going to try it out with my next cyst.

Mark, you are so lucky that your bathing in noxema days are over.

Only problem is, I don't have GR posting privileges. Do you?

It does feel like swimming through jello, though swimming through jello sounds more fun! I wonder if we should set up a Groupthink academic work support group?

You sound really disciplined! I am trying to structure too. It's difficult though. My mom has been trying to offer me treats too for different stages, haha. So far I have negotiated an Easter egg and some earrings.

Thank you for your comment, that is really helpful. I do need to stop beating myself up. Got the first bit done, so just need to keep the momentum and move on to the next.

Thank you for your reply, that's really, really helpful. I managed to get through the first half and submitted it to my supervisor. Now on to the next bit!

I am writing up my thesis, which is due in at the end of June. I've procrastinated a lot lately due to having a lot of anxiety but today I managed to do quite a bit of work on it and I'm nearly finished the first half. I feel quite good! However, a part of me also feels worried I won't be able to continue with the…

Thank you so much for your comment. Jezebel's science journalism is generally bad but this is the worst article I've seen so far. It's irresponsible to report on a study like this as if it is an established fact. The study in question is also open source so why not provide a link to it? There are so many problems with…

This guy was on our flight recently. Not all of the attendants do it, I think it might only be him. He did it with the same amount energy, he is awesome.

Definitely this! And add the combination of tired and hungry to the list. My boyfriend and I had a silly fight about nothing, all because our top two choices for restaurants were closed late one evening and we couldn't agree on where to go to eat.

So glad to hear that. Do you have people you can talk to?

I am also still thinking of you. I hope you are okay.

Funniest comment I've read ever.

A truer sentence was never spoken.
