    I Have Seasonal Affective Disorder, And...

    A sun bed is not the same light. Maybey the warmth on your skin makes you feel better. I know I feel relaxed when the sun does this. Even when it's grey sky, there is still light that we need (through the retina of the eye) for our brain. So it's important to get out. My growing light bulbs in...

    General Can A Breakup Really Be This Overwhelming? Sheesh!

    It's probably to do with protection. If you are able to be open about what you see about yourself and you question it, isn't that in a way positive? . I have seen first hand that cycle of abuse being broken. Its been done its being done. Can't hate yourself and brake it at the same time...

    Help From A Vulcan Friend

    Hi nomedic1 I wanted to quote you on something but it just got screwed up. I don't know why, but when you say "trauma was of my own doing for choosing to be where I was" it doesn't sit right with me sorry. We all come into this world with that death and life force inside for a reason. It's...
