Congratulations! I remember seeing you join not long after I did, seems like not so long ago!

Well I never knew a lot of that, so thanks Anthony. Certainly didn't realise China is the Super Power now!

Happy Birthday! Great achievement! It feels like only yesterday that I remember introducing myself to you as a recently new member also! Congratulations. You have been through a lot while you've been here this last year... and I see positive changes through all the ups and downs. Good for you!

Glad to see people are still posting here! I like the way this 'shadow' concept explains things in terms of characteristics we don't necessarily like. We are all born innocent, but all humans also have the capability to kill and have such traits that would be in the shadow of ourselves...

I found it hard to answer as there are several people who traumatised me. They are: Abuser number 1 - did not know him, barely remember him (i was 7) so I cannot say if he was generally deranged or clinically deranged or otherwise. Don't know if he has changed, however I doubt it. Abuser...

No worries... everyone is allowed an opinion. As others have said, political discussions tend to touch a lot of raw nerves for many so it easily gets out of hand. Everybody has frustrations, views, and opinions on politics one way or another.

Okay, I don't understand much politically etc. and I certainly am not clued up on political affairs outside the UK. Can't even say I fully understand everything people are talking about here. But why does politics always have to have such a competitive 'we're the best' undertone. I heard that...

Hi Shoshin. Hm. I will say some thoughts that came to me as I read you're post. One was that it sounds terribly lonely? What you wrote about your code actually impressed me. What sheer determination and self-reliance. Those are qualities in you. But those qualities are being misplaced right...

I am a fidgeter... ! i can sit in my seat, but my hands are always doing something (hence chain smoking) and I am constantly shifting, moving my legs etc. Also do the pacing, organising, etc. The amount i fidget I should be underweight... !

Evie... GREAT to see you! So glad to see you back, and I am impressed with your positivity considering the yet another scare. I am just glad that it was pre-cancerous and they think they've got it all... No wonder your mum was feeling so down... Glad you are resting up Evie.... sending you...

LOL... is the 'dumb rock' look a mixture of gormless and confused? I can see it in my head now!

Sorry, I just assumed people would know that I not 'knowing' what drugs do to the mind meant understanding what drugs do, and that understanding is something that means full understanding, not in parts... can see the misunderstanding though through my lack of clarity... I'll be clearer in...

Welcome Rachel... glad you're here.

LOL, this is very true Andre. I used to eat nothing the day I went out (well, used to eat nothing generally for a while), and I was always, always sick. In fact, sadly, it got to a point where I needed to be sick at the end of the night so that I could reassure myself the calories from the drink...

Uh, huh, that may mean we are both talking about two different things as I am talking about skunk (street name for several types of chemically engineered cannabis). Researchers don't know exactly how this affects the brain. I also beg to differ on the comment disagreeing that sativa is a...

Meh! Good on you for not totally raging off at someone... though sorry about the peeing yourself bit! But Good For You, deciding you're getting your meds wet pants, or not! Good lordy... I am not as patient as you!

That's interesting... I have often felt that 'sobering up' after some skunk is better than getting stoned... a sort of 'clarity' arising is somehow quite nice and makes me feel that it helps me to get back to me...

I have hearing loss in both ears. The cause isn't known, but they think I was either born with it, or that mumps did the damage when I was 3. I have loss of high and low frequencies (one ear sounds tinny, the other like I'm underwater), and nerve conduction damage because of a 'floppy' ear drum...

OMG, get us on the same schedule LOL! Cookies are biscuits, yes. LOL it's like we speak foreign languages - snogging is french kissing! What do you call that over there? Good god it certainly is not something more sinister in the backseat of a Chevy (assume that's a car!)... no that's NOT...

I actually think that drug use during trauma could be more harmful.... this is not hard to find in children who are drugged during abuse. I would think it simply makes memory more difficult to recall... but the mind doesn't forget still. Flashbacks still occur with those drugged during abuse...

Haha 2quilt, as I write this I am eating biscuits... so much for diet. But it's 'that time of months', so I need the serotonin boost. It's a medical fact. A stone in American language is 14 pounds. Spanks... that is what I was talking about! LOL spanks... what a strange name...

What a looker!

Sorry She Cat 'chav' is a slang word in England for people who generally hang out on the streets in gangs, wearing a certain style of clothing, smoking, drinking on street corners... tend to be into petty crime, usually teens. Often wearing tracksuit clothing, and burberry caps, polo shirts...

I'm going out Thursday night. Yes... going OUT. It's a friend's birthday. I will have to mix with PEOPLE. Okay, a few drinks, I can do that. The bigger problem is my self-consciousness. So I was in a lecture today... I'm taking an Eating Disorders module. And frankly... it's making me hate...

Ah... sorry I have just seen the link to do your study... I will get on that now. I missed that bit before when I read your post!
