There once was a man named Crank Some guys would call him a skank He liked to shock So he wore a frock And regularly draws a blank

Panic attacks are an example of how those temporary spikes in blood pressure can impact the overall health of your heart but it needs to be persistent...

Because your perceptions are flawed. You have attempted arrogance, then guilt, now shame.You are having some imagined battle with me but the effort he...

I did not set those standards. If you see a crime and choose to look the other way when you are at capacity to assist, telling yourself that the choic...

Why are you asking? I like them, but I do not think they are beautiful. I heard this when young and it changed my musical life. I was the only one at ...

For good reason.

While there is an intimate relationship, what is questionable is whether anxiety disorders contribute to heart disease or the other way around. PTSD s...

Nothing worse than losing a friend and so young. Really sorry for your loss and I hope you continue to share those memories and it is those little thi...

Then I pity you.
January 23, 2018 at 06:23
As in emotionally or the actual heart?
January 22, 2018 at 21:01
Be kind to yourself. If you are conscious of shutting down intentionally then I would probably suggest a psychologist. If you are consciously being me...

You are like Santa Claus on acid sometimes. A man's dingle-dangle is hideous, but I am sure there are some people out there who phallic worship. I gro...

I am tired of this idea that 'good' people somehow stand apart as though they are martyrs, saints, pure, deep, but that is simply not true. If I see a...

When I had a major car accident, this feeling was ongoing for months after and it was a long while later that realised it was PTSD from the accident. ...

I see beauty like I understand love; while we have a number of objects of love - erotic love, familial love, brotherly love, motherly love - along wit...

Agustino, I think dear Thorongil was talking largely about society, not about what you do in your personal space.

She really is beautiful. Summit of Mauna Kea. Despite the difficulties with the climb and my inability to acclimatise properly to the high altitude, r...

This is a self-defeating question; people, particularly those from dogmatic positions, often assume that there are selfish qualities in loving yoursel...

I would not say meaningless. The study of cosmology itself deals with the universe at an extremely large-scale and so it is constrained by observable ...

Your age? You little bebeh.

At the shops, on the radio, at work, at the gym, I felt like I was being stalked by the song. I finally gave up and decided to actually listen to the ...

What, are you on a low-carb diet or something? All moody at the sight of cheese because you want to look good in that dress?
January 20, 2018 at 02:49
I have this sneaking suspicion that people think I have a fierce kind of bite despite being so little in stature and so loving in nature. They would b...
January 20, 2018 at 01:30
You can also have the law of non-contradiction and such paradoxical logic remains positive, just like how Foucoult speaks of power or discourse where ...

Science helps release us from the grips of our imagination as @"Erik" states that we use to help us cope.
January 19, 2018 at 11:09
This alienation is not as uncommon as you think, on the contrary it could actually be an acute existential awareness. I would imagine that your diffic...
January 19, 2018 at 11:02
And the process is initiated with feelings of depression, disassociation or anxiety before one can become clearly aware through an objective understan...
January 19, 2018 at 10:47
You can't be aware of something you are unaware of, that is what being unaware is. But aside from that, yes, sometimes those humiliating experiences c...
January 19, 2018 at 10:43
That is not the point, the point is that I was not aware of it at conscious level. I believed wholeheartedly that I did not want to be in a relationsh...
January 19, 2018 at 10:17
You could, but incorrectly. If you really loved her, you would understand that she is domineering but would not let her dominate you. That is because ...
January 19, 2018 at 10:12
Same with me, but it still affected me in ways that I was not even aware, for instance where I completely avoided relationships out of fear that it wi...
January 19, 2018 at 10:08
Apologies, I was being ungenerous. Your post articulated it afterwards.
January 19, 2018 at 10:02
No, a domineering mother doesn't know how to love and the child is unfortunately caught in this trap where guilt - such as how much sacrifices she has...
January 19, 2018 at 10:01
I know you know what it is. Do you know why you have it? If so, why all this questioning, or do you simply like the attention?
January 19, 2018 at 09:56
There is a lot wrong with a dominating mother. Your happiness is a happiness based only on pleasing her - and ultimately others - and not what you act...
January 19, 2018 at 09:55
You are speaking about being nervous. Not having anxiety.
January 19, 2018 at 09:52
You have anxiety because you don't know what it is, not that you know what it is. That is why you have it. It is not speaking 'out loud' but actually ...
January 19, 2018 at 09:52
Idiot.
January 19, 2018 at 09:50
The attachments are much more than materialism, they are experiences we are not aware of consciously, epistemic, the patterns of our very thoughts and...
January 19, 2018 at 09:49
Anxiety is subconscious emotions trying to tell you through the very feelings it produces that you do not agree to something, whatever that may be. Yo...
January 19, 2018 at 09:44
Perhaps, but it can be overcome. Not by embracing it per se as posty would say, but by articulating it objectively. You get caught in your subjective ...
January 19, 2018 at 09:38
That is a worry. There is nothing greater than being in love with someone and for them to love you back. Don't listen to Agu, he is silly, just like S...

The weather. It is really hot today. I hate extremely hot weather. But, it will be nice for the next week.
January 19, 2018 at 09:29
A girl?
January 19, 2018 at 09:26
Not me, posty. It's really hot though.
January 19, 2018 at 09:25
Today's anxiety.
January 19, 2018 at 09:23
I'm on a tram crammed with people in this extreme heat, nothing could be worse. But, the weather is relaxing the week ahead, perfect weather. Sometime...
January 19, 2018 at 06:55
How rude. Clearly you are a man spoon and your head made out of metal if you think a brioche is a muffin. Have you never had baked camembert? Having t...

We do. Our most popular shows are cooking programs. But, I get to go home early today because it is too hot. I call this View from my Office from my H...
