Im disappointed in Kanye. Even his last album has many verses on racism, I dont get what happened. :/

Having an identity change can be a very traumatic experience and it doesnt necessarily have to be from a transsexual or a romantic partner. When my childhood best friend completely changed who she was and never wanted to speak to me again it was one of the most painful experiences of my life that I still discuss in

I find this to be one of my biggest life challenges and conundrums. Ive had mental illnesses my whole life, am currently in therapy and take some psych meds for Bipolar and Boderline Personality Disorder. When I first met my boyfriend, I wasnt in treatment and things were rough, I was very unstable. I had depression

I have Aetna and couldnt have both my endometriosis laproscopy and my Nexplanon implant in the same three month period and both be paid since they were both considered ‘surgery’. Need those hormones. That shit cant wait! Unreal! 1,2oo bucks for that matchstick. They have no idea how this disease or womens bodys in

I have also noticed humblebrags coming from insecure people trying to take you down so they feel better about themselves. ‘Yeah... I woke up earlier than your alarm, Im such an early riser it is never an issue for me. It’s effortless.’ This im better than you thing, irritating. I never know what to say. Just stay

OMG that sounds like me. My folks said nothing about sex and i didnt learn about a vagina at all til I was 13. My dad didnt know how to handle me after puberty and my mom worked a lot/had migraines/also depression. I am 24 and have still never been penetrated by anything. I was so creeped out walking around Target at

Sterilization doesnt cure mental illness but it prevents a whole host of possible harms. Many medications must be suspended during pregnancy, a time when hormones are making even non mentally ill women off kilter. Post partum can be even more dangerous with psychosis being a possibility. Having a parent with a mental

OMG I could have written that word for word!!! I had the same reaction as a little girl to periods!! I thought: so all the women I see in movies and on TV they were having that????????? Horrified disbelief.

The problem with the point of view of the organizations that are wary of the boxes, bothers me. It assumes that these women would actually want to keep their babies in better circumstances. Someone could pay me a million bucks and I would never want to raise a kid. Im just always suspicious of the assumtion that 'of

The issue has always rung strange to me. I thought, this procedure has been around for thousands of years. They used sharp rocks and had no antibiotics. Millions of men throughout time across the world have had it done. These days, the majority have nothing to say about it. Now a small percentage is complaining and it

A bit of this also happened to me. No one seemed to want to diagnose me with anything other than depression despite symptoms and lack of normal antidepressants fixing the problem. Felt so invalidating. Set me back years :/ Thank goodness Im better off than before now. I also tried Lamictal, but Lithium has been my

Oh yeeeeeahhhhhh!!!! Me too. I was born with mental illness, since I was a kid I was not normal. I was in kid therapy and tried out some awful meds then went off everything in my teens. MY TEENS. So much pain. Took until my twenties to finally get stable. Wish I had found my Lithium earlier. Sigh, *looks off into the

Well, I have Bipolar and when I came off the effexor I went into more of a hypomania where I started going to the gym 6 days a week for two hours. That helped get off 30 lbs. The last twenty were more stubborn. I still have the last 10 vanity lbs to this day.

Effexor didnt help me at all. I gained weight and had the brain zaps during withdrawl. Another horrible side-effect, when I didnt take it with food, I would ALWAYS vomit.

I wish someone would also include a person with acne. Such a simple thing so many deal with but it completely out of sight. Ive had back and face acne for the past 13 years and it isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Its such a huge taboo- cause the industry just says OMG FIX IT! FIX IT! FIX IT! ASAP FIX IT!!!!

Where is that from?? Love it

So then Im not the only one who corrects the improper use of vagina to mean the whole area between the legs! Its like no one uses the word vulva anymore... Cool, think there should be more of us. :P

YES! I am an hourglass so they say show off your waist! But I am also mega short waisted and when I do that then I look like shoulders and boobs on top of legs. But when I dont define it a bit I look boxy. So irritating of a line to walk.

The hard part is that I live in Germany. My insurance is bad and confusing but also dealing with the language issue when trying to get this exact info seems formidable. Im trying to be optimistic, but most of the time I feel hopeless thinking about how expensive it will be and how stressful it is interviewing cold or

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! What a great website he has too. Gonna get the book. Hope I can find someone just as good.
