Got any big questions?

If you 'solved gravity', but cannot explain it to anyone in a way that they can understand, how does that benefit anyone but yourself? I don't understand how a breakthrough that cannot be communicated to others ...

How do people do that? How do they forgive themselves for all the idiot mistakes they've made, and go on living like they never made them in the first place? I am so hypercritical of myself, and hold onto everything for so long. Every time I start to make progress I remember what I've done in the past and I'm down in the hole again. How can people not do that? Selective amnesia? Is there ...

I was talking to one of my best friends the other day about being avoidant. I basically told her that I had been hiding from the world to get control. Her response opened my eyes.

She said "No you're looking at it all wrong! Right now you don't have control! Your life is the way it is because you've let fear have the control. Happiness isn't just going to fall into your lap. If you ...

After about 10 months on this forum (and 10 months since breaking up with my HPD ex) I think I've finally recovered to the point where I can move on. I just thought I'd pass on some advice to fellow nons who are either in the protracted hellish break-up stage or in that melancholy post-break-up, trying-to-stay-NC phase.

Most modern herbalists admit that pharmaceuticals are more effective in emergency situations where time is of the essence. An example would be where a patient had an acute heart attack that posed imminent danger. However, they claim that over the long term edited by mod can help the patient resist disease, and that in addition, they provide nutritional and immunological support ...

Sorry, didn't really know who to contact.
I was goofing around and figured out dark energy and the expansion of the universe on your site.
I'm afraid there are going to be a lot of hits coming this way.

I came across this today while doing a google search, and I consider it now essential reading for anyone in our situation: The Martyr Syndrome in Marriages with Mental Illness. Something to really think about and digest.

Here is the link for all who are interested:

I just started doing therapy for sexual abuse issues. I pretty much have amnesia as far as memories go, just clues. Since beginning to work on these issues there are moments when I feel a very intense sexual attraction to my father. Most of the time if I think about being abused, I feel like I am going to throw up or else I just go numb, but sometimes there is also a strong reaction. ...

On the second post of every page? (And don't bother being the first to respond to this, because I won't be able to see your post due to the bug. :) )
