    My college psychology textbook says...

    The textbook (Psychology Applied to Modern Life: Adjustment in the 21st Century, 12th edition) devotes 30 out of 483 pages to a chapter describing *all* psychological disorders... That's approximately 6 percent of the book... With so little space (and by extension: interest from the authors)...

    The last thing you bought?

    This is a hat. Or more specifically, it is a Borsalino Piuma 50 Gram 6 cm brim felt fedora with a 3 cm gray grosgrain band and a lapel cord. Got it? Good.

    Spectrum adults coping with childhood trauma caused by others

    1. As an adult, how do you cope with that? I generally try to distance myself from my former "self". 2. Do you still get intense flashbacks of those times? Rarely. My more recent nervous breakdown 3 years ago has mostly monopolized my flashback experiences. :fearful: 3. Have you found peace...

    Has anyone been fired from a job because they follow the rules?

    I wasn't fired for following the rules. I was - however - marginalized by my boss at work and got passed up for promotion... for following the rules. This contributed to a downward spiral at work, and I quit my job some time later on due to stress. I've come to suspect this was the intended...

    Here I Stand

    Although I registered on this site in October 2014, this is my first post here... Anyway, some may know me, as I've been on WrongPlanet for several years - and I was even a moderator there for some time... (And before someone asks: No, I haven't heard from TallyMan or Cornflake in quite some...
