Am I the only one who thinks the bride only invited the letter writer to get a free cake?

Any time! I love when we can all get down to our angsty bits and share our vulnerabilities. I also think a lot of my fear of rejection comes from a lot of really harsh self-judgment. So, in case you are the same way, remember (1) you are enough, and (2) if your compassion does not include yourself it is incomplete.

Lots of love and support to you both. Therapy, the kind that is worth a damn in my mind, is painful. Change and growth are painful. When I was a little kid I would get sore aching legs before a physical growth spurt. In adulthood, which has been a lot of mental and emotional growth spurts for me, it usually (a)…

I have a slightly different take on why it is so hard to ask for help. This feels vaguely embarrassing to admit, but I think my struggles with asking for help or stating my needs are tied to self esteem and fear of rejection. If I don't tell you what I need and you don't do it, I can tell myself it was because you…

Please don't give up. There are a million different forms of help out there - don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle happens. I survived more than my fair share of trauma, and up until 2 years ago I hated everything about myself and my life. But I finally found a therapist I love, I have built the loving…

I once had to get an ultrasound at a teaching hospital (meaning no less than 5 people will come in to watch and take turns using the ultrasound machine) and one after another, they all said I have beautiful ovaries. Someone walked in mid-exam and without missing a beat said "Wow, those are really great ovaries."

This is not about actually winning the lawsuit, it's about vehemently denying the allegation and likely trying to force her to retract her statements and admit she is lying. A lot of people are making some good points about the legal burdens of proof here, but at the end of the day, I would bet my life this woman is…

Do you think you can get Kristen Stewart as the poet for your meal?

I see she did not include sodomy in her list of evils. I guess you don't end up with the last name AtAnus unless your people are into butt play.

Is Maryland the new Florida of mothers killing their children in horrible religious ceremonies? 4 or 5 years ago a women with mental health issues who had been taken in by a cult starved her 1 year old son to death because he wouldn't say grace. It was a seriously heartbreaking case. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/03/…

Why are you gray? You comment warms the cockles of my heart.

This height requirement is all about shoulder rides. The way I read it, these girls really only posted this add because they are looking for human step-ladders they can use to get a better view of the stage.

No one will EVER top the "Tony Q69" lady, who spent two years hanging angry posters along a bus driver's route... http://nypost.com/2012/05/06/wom…

Well I for one want a chance to judge for myself your emails to your ex. What did they say? Inquiring minds want to know!
