    Sorry, But I Don't Work For Free!

    Not really looking for advice or anything... I think I've done what I can. People are sick. I got my first job a few weeks ago as a table busser. Our paydays are meant to be on the 15th and 30th, and we were meant to be paid for training as well. It's a new restaurant, so my manager wasn't sure...

    Need Some Guidance

    @void I don't think so. They have their own issues and aren't really suited for that sort of thing. It's less than two years until I turn eighteen, so I'll hold on for now and focus on saving up my money until I can get my own place. @rightkindofme @gizmo Thank you!

    Prazosin Against Bad Dreams ?

    It definitely works for my grandma. She takes only one milligram per night before bed.

    The Herb & Supplement Thread

    Skullcap and Passionflower - The passionflower helped for a bit, but then I broke out in hives. Did not notice any difference when taking the skullcap by itself. Kava and Valerian - Both have noticeably different effects, but I need a lot of them to notice any difference. It's probably just the...

    Need Some Guidance

    Update: I'm doing better. I got my first job last week. My dad and I got into one heck of an argument today and he was comparing me to my mom again. I filmed part of it and realized that his behavior was definitely abusive. I have asked him several times to quit doing that and I think he does it...

    Need Some Guidance

    Let's just say I'm 16, in my second year of highschool, and my dad wants me to drop out. He's sick of paying for my homeschool program and wants me to just get a job or get married when I'm 18. He wants me out as soon as possible. I looked up the laws here and I cannot legally drop out until I...

    News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

    If you're talking about the David Duke thing, that's just another lie from the media. :sleep: There's a video of him disavowing David Duke on his twitter and facebook accounts.

    What Bad Shit Have You Done - Daily, As it Comes To You, Your Past, Lets Be Honest

    Reselling items that I bought with coupons (retail fraud), stealing stuff, calling my former T a dumb bitch, pretending to be sick, using fake coins in vending machines, cussed at my grandma multiple times (she's a bad influence anyway), taking rides on public transportation without tickets...

    Childhood Are You Ok With Your Name?

    My legal name is Michaela, but my mom's side always referred to me as Mimi or Mia. I think they wanted to separate me from my dad (Michael) in some way, so that I would be considered their property. I dread it when people refer to me as Mimi or Mia. I'm seriously considering changing my first...

    What To Never Say To A Ptsd Sufferer

    "Why didn't you tell anyone?" Oh, well... It started was less than five years old, I was homeschooled for most of my life, and I even tried to, but I'm pretty sure a child can't defend themselves against a grown woman who carried a gun 24/7 (even if she's only 5'1"). "Vets deserve their PTSD...

    What Do You Think About Putting A Child On Psychiatric Medication?

    @Heather It's a hormone and her body can end up producing less of it over time. It's a prescription drug in a lot of countries outside of the US for that reason.

    What Do You Think About Putting A Child On Psychiatric Medication?

    I'm sixteen, weigh 88lbs, and I was taking 10mg when I was thirteen. I think your pediatrician doesn't want her to become dependent on it. I'm pretty much seconding @FridayJones on this one... Medications at such a young age seem like a big no-no to me. Then again, it's not my job to parent...

    Does Anyone Else Have A Hard Time Shopping For Clothes?

    I thought I was the only one, lol. My mum would always shop at childrens' consignment shops with me and make me try on stuff for hours on end in the front of the store, along with buying the wrong sizes and getting one hell of an ugly haircut. Like, butt naked in front of the store trying on...

    New Food And Christmas

    In the past three days, I have tried the following foods for the first time: Scallops Poached eggs Salmon Fried eggs I LOVED the scallops, salmon, and fried eggs! They're going to be my favorite foods for awhile. This is a big success for me because my mother restricted a lot of my food and...

    Was My Therapist Abusive Too?

    I have no clue about reporting her or how to do so. I did write a bunch of bad reviews about her online and described what she said/did to me, though. Thank you. It was all very confusing and the main thing that sorta switched on my PTSD symptoms was around the same time so I didn't understand...

    Skipping The Holidays?

    I'm not bothering with seeing the rest of family. They can come out to where I live if they want to see me as badly as they claim. My trauma is related to the holidays to begin with. I basically had a nice meal with my dad on Thanksgiving and cooked some festive stuff. I haven't seen my...

    Thyroid Problems?

    I have both and so does my grandma. Well, she had hypothyroidism, but then she developed Graves' disease and then got an RAI. I've been tested for Hashimoto's (both types of antibodies) and came back as negative. Can't really vouch for the weight thing, though. My family is full of overweight...

    Was My Therapist Abusive Too?

    It's been close to one and a half years since I last saw her, but I can't help but feel that something was wrong. Here's some things that made me feel suspicious: Telling me about how her dad sexually abused her in great detail (I was not sexually abused. Besides, her father worked in her...
