As topics, "sex" and "nazis" are cheap easy targets.. I have seen that the first few generators people make tend to be sensationalized topics once they get the idea of how to use the format. They test out most of the dirty words they know. Sometimes there is cursing; generally vulgarity of a...

Nobody really talks about Chamomile for anxiety; usually, if the herb is discussed, it's in the context of being a sleep aid and almost exclusively about Chamomile tea. However, Chamomile is available in capsule form, and that got me wondering how effective it would be for daytime anxiety. I...

I hit a low in a rough patch. When I seriously started to consider suicide, I realized that this was absolutely stupid. As much as I love to brag about 'my acceptance of death' I am scared of the **** still. I stall at the end, waiting for something to happen that will finally get me to do it. I...

Though I am understanding the ins and outs of my work, it's a LOT to keep track of, especially for me. A lot of it may seem common sense to others, but it's a lot of details and noticing surroundings, and in the moment. I think I need to prep myself before visiting each client by journaling...

So Rian Johnson finally did it. He took my favorite sci-fi franchise and destroyed it with killing Luke. That is very depressing to me. I had been a Star Wars fan since I saw A New Hope in 1977. Now thanks to Rian killing Luke I now love Avatar more. I am not looking forward to seeing The Last...

It's been a few weeks since I officially received my medical license and swore the Hippocratic oath. At our graduation ceremony, we were each asked to prepare a short speech detailing something about our time as a med student that stood out for us personally. I don't do well with preparing...

So, I'm thinking I am aspie. But I wonder if connecting, or relationships, can be a "thing" for an aspie girl. I am extroverted, too, since I have more energy when I've been around people. Communicating was very hard for me throughout my childhood. I could speak, but often came across as rude...

A possible new focus....one I don't want to forget while overwhelmed. It seems throughout life, whatever I tried, however I tried...I just have always had a much harder time than others in being socially accepted and liked. It has gotten better, for sure - but it's always stinging to...

This is kind of a gush, but I'm happy and I want to talk about it: I'm here tonight to say to anyone who's down, depressed, and/or hopeless: contrary to what I once believed, it really does get better. But it doesn't get better on its own; it takes a special kind of hard work, the willingness...

Is it me? or is it them? small question is stature, but not in the insurmountable amount of facts gathered on both sides. Too much in order to make a proper conclusion without it being grey. I guess that is just what life is, never a singular answer, always murky unknowing grey. Is it me, or...

My co-workers are always teasing the childless women about how it's their turn to have a baby. I've tried not to make a big thing of it, but I find it highly inappropriate. I even divulged more than I would like to have about my health condition in an effort to discourage it - but they still...

I've been on sertraline for five or six days now. It's more effective than laxatives for assisting digestive transit and I go through phases of feeling too nauseous to eat anything and wanting to eat everything if it stands still long enough, food, carpets, small children. My diaphragm feels...

One of the things that leaves me emotionally ragged by the end of the day is being surrounded by people for whom normal clever social interactions is always surfing along the surface. I am constantly asked questions that they don't really mean to hear the real answers to - it has become a joke...

Just a thought. I need to feel suicidal to function. That doesn't make sense does it, well I am not a person of sense. I gave it some thought though, I think since then, I got a sense of what normally doesn't make sense. If I think I am going to die in the next month, there are no...

I thought I would spare the chat room of more thoughts. I am thinking of different cultures. People tend to forum groups. These groups grow, split, shrink and all the other stuff groups do. One group can turn into hundreds of little ones, and all these groups over time forum different...

I don't feel any better, I just feel in conflict. I know my possible life could be awesome, but I don't know If I can get there, and operate, even when i am living the dream. I have so much progress to make, and sitting at the bottom of this mountain, looking up and knowing I have to climb all...

I feel tired. It is a bit unordinary considering it is only one in the morning. Maybe I might get some good sleep. I just got up to turn off the light, letting the dim lamp at the end of the room light my way. Hopefuly the low amount of light can kick my circadian rhythm back into line...

I didn't particularly want to go and see my GP, the one I've been used to for twenty years; who I now think was probably rubbish, has retired. I have to get used to someone else or a lot of someone elses. I haven't seen a doctor in a long time. Nothing needed fixing or tablets or referrals...

Very recently, I've learned of the healing power behind forgiving yourself for a troubled past, and as highlighted in JDartistic's post about dealing with humiliation, I'm not alone in that sentiment. I would, however, like to explain where I was, where I am now, and what changed in hopes that...

What a night. crazy, crazy night. As you may have guessed, It wasn't a good type of night. my mind was in a pretty bad spot, and I got set off by something incredibly little. I wasn't doing good for the past two weeks, and all of that building emotional energy came collapsing in as the damn of...
