I would say, "Yes! They are out of line!" Being a few pounds overweight does NOT equate to being unhealthy. If you're eating poorly and not getting much exercise, you might feel better if worked to change those things (I know I feel better when exercise and eat more veggies), but if you feel great as you are, then,…

I've been wondering the same thing for years and just finally figured it out this week! I ordered one on kindle, and I'm hoping it lives up to my memories.

I was able to watch in Canada from here: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/03/26/ryan-lochte-reality-trailer/

There's something about orange cats with golden eyes that really fascinates me.

Yes, I'm planning to add both dootlin' and piffle to my everyday vocabulary.

I guess not all ROUS's are evil.

Gaaarrrhhhhh my thesis is not getting finished tonight, and I'm supposed to hand it in tomorrow. I hope I can at least cobble something together to hand in, even if I need to do some revisions over the next week. I'm just so tired.

My two cats (who live with my parents) are name Eliot and Henry. They're very literary.

Well, I don't own a television... but I love my internet tv! I understand completely about living and alone and needing some more or less mindless distraction. It's hard for me to deal with silence all the time, and music doesn't seem to cut it - I like speaking voices.

I have some on my wrists and upper arms, and I answer honestly and matter-of-factly if anyone asks about them. I'm working really hard on not being ashamed of my depression and my cutting (which yes, does stem from a really bad place, but there's no use in being upset afterwards - especially as I'm working through…

I'm supposed to finish my thesis tomorrow, and it's going to be a very, very busy day. My dad was staying with me for a while, but he's gone home now, and it's kind of lonely!

What's your thesis on? It would be nice for me to have a motivational buddy - I'm starting to feel the effects of my semi-unintentional isolation (I've kind of isolated myself from friends here, due to being busy and anxious and not really having made any really good friends to begin with). I need to get back into…

Hmm, maybe I should try shorter work times. That might be less intimidating, so I might be more inclined to actual put the technique into use.

I think fear of failure is part of it, for sure. If I leave it to the last minute, then I haven't put in my best effort, so if I don't do well, that's okay. But I sometimes wonder what I could write if I did put in my best effort...

I just wish I could to the writing more than ten words at once bit, even if I'm crying through the whole thing. Sometimes I get really scared that I'll have a complete breakdown if I force myself to keep working, so I need to calm down before I write anything, which is just another form of self-sabotage. I'm trying to…

I definitely get caught up in wanting things to be great. And then I convince myself that I don't have time before my deadline and manage to finagle an extension, but then I put things off again, and then I start to think "well, I've already had an extension, I definitely can't hand in some kind of shitty draft…

I like the idea of writing anything, and I think it might be helpful to spend a few minutes writing about how I'm feeling. I often get stuck in the trap of "oh, I'll just browse the internet a bit while I drink my coffee and wake up..." which turns into hours of nothing productive, then it's time for lunch, then I…

Hi Jezzies, I've posted a few times before ranting about my anxiety/depression/thesis stress/procrastination problems, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone has had a similar experience to me and might have some suggestions for getting over myself.

I've seen quite a few profiles which clearly state that the profile owner is married or attached, and is only interested in making friends or looking for people to do some kind of specific activity with (rock climbing, running, whatever). I don't see a problem with it, as long as it's clear why you're there.

Thanks, Mr. Snowplow.
