And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

sara, I take it Cherno Inferno is the FOAF? She was my MOH.

The reason for all the comments is breaking my arm! My first broken extremity, and my first (nondental) surgery is Monday. Typing is hard and the xray is kinda gruesome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Most of the time, I'm fine with eating gluten-free. But sometimes, like right now, I JUST WANT TOAST. There is no substitute for toast.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

that is the tempo.

end result of the night is me wondering if I have some undiagnosed mental illness that may be the root cause of my instability. I am not on webmd yet, though. surely therapists over the last 10 years would have suspected something more than low-grade depression and anxiety, right?

Because books.

You're a single parent with an often challenging child, who recently moved to a new (sort of) state after years in NYC, and you're working for an asshole who likes to be a bully. The stress alone has to be incredible. There is no secret mental illness hiding in there, seriously.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think it's generally wiser to trust the experts that have met you and treated you over Dr. Google, yeah. Stuff that is out of our control happens. Kind of a lot, really.

Melissa? YES. How the hell?? What's the connection to Boise or gender studies or B'more?

Depression and anxiety are demons enough on their own. It's been my experience that low-grade depression and anxiety are quite enough to make a person feel emotionally unstable and fragile, without the need to invoke any other, more dire diagnoses.

or, what Amy and -t said.

Also, msbelle, consider that parents are gonna remember the drama points. And when there is new drama, that's gonna jump to the forebrain. Not to excuse them, just to say that their perceptions might be skewed. It can't hurt, WHEN YOU HAVE THE SPOONS, to look at patterns, but if the professionals haven't come screaming at you with them....pinch of salt for now.

The main thing, bon, is that you have percocet. And morphine.

And you got French tips before you gruesomely broke your arm.
