    What song is stuck in your head?

    I have spice girls - goodbye in my head. I don’t even like spice girls but watched a documentary of them yesterday and it is constantly playing in my head to the point of it completely taking over my thought processes throughout the day. It can get overwhelming and depressing after a while...

    Am I relatable? I’m in need of understanding

    Hello, my name is Tom and I’m 30 years old. For a very long time I’ve often wondered why I have felt different to most people, socially, and as a result I’ve been bullied through school, withdrawn from family and looked at like a weirdo. I will let you guys know a type of difference I experience...
