First off, Bill, let me say that if I was going to have a crazy uncle in my basement, or indeed an uncle of any kind, I would pick you. OK? But I wouldn't like the designation much. It kind of ... reifies the disfunction of the family, if that makes any sense. Maybe you've said this before and...

Just to affirm, yeah, it is always curious to me that people won't believe others when they tell them something that they are CLEARLY not lying about. Who would lie about this for god's sake? I pretty much believe any "crazy" thing people tell me about themselves at this point. Not that I don't...

I think my H and I do this for each other. A fair amount. Most of the time now it is dealing with the fall out of the dark times. But sometimes it is still old stuff coming up. And please don't think I am as selfless as all that. I get ALOT out of being here. It is the first community...how do...

Write "Personal and Confidential" in the title of the email. Definitely the Provost. Make it clear (Again) that you are HAPPY to provide them with additional documentation, but since the treating physician's letter is universally the standard for establishing disability claims you are as yet in...

Write a letter to the Provost or whomever the chief academic officer is, CC the head of Finance and the President and if they have an ombudsman or diversity officer or office for students with disabilities cc them to with the story and the demand. Ask for a timely response, give them a deadline...

Two minutes of distraction. Just two minutes will help. If the thinking comes back, do another two minutes. I just saw this: On the off chance it helps switch something in your view Here is a TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/guy_winch_the_case_for_emotional_hygiene If your family were DIRTY...

My T is training to do Integrated Quantum Medicine - IQM for short. So she does this kind of energy work on me. She made my really VERY neurotic border collie a lot calmer. Not that she is not IMPOSSIBLE (The border collie, not the T) still, she is a border collie after all, but now she has calm...

Solara, you have been something of a puzzle to me/for me. On the one hand you are SO incredibly insightful and compassionate in your understanding of others, particularly others in pain and struggling... and on the other hand you say things in such an abrasive way. Now I get it a little. And I...

Yes. All those and more. Me too. At the end of the day ... it is all about energy (in that vague or maybe not so vague) physics sense. So the spiritual/physical interplay is not so odd to me. (Thank you Bishop George Berkeley) The quantum theorists tell us that it is not the STUFF that is...

This is huge stuff. And six hours seems, a bit paltry to me to process that epiphany, frankly. Still, it sounds like the parts all "got" it at some level. And it is awesome that you are aware of all the myriad bits having their say... Maybe you could make spaces for these bits as you go? I'm...

What an amazing story. And here in Northern California is does not sound "out there" particularly at all. Unusual yes. (Happily) but ... not impossible by a long shot. Is it important to know why she felt she could go? And is your intuition that the place or the destination was important? Or...

OK, this may be out there but... the twin bond is, I am given to understand, profound and mysterious. Perhaps this part doesn't want to die for the sake of dying, but to be reunited with your twin? In which case a kind of metaphysical/mystical intervention might be in order. Trying to connect...

For when you feel a bit more together... It'll keep.... OMG Shimmerz. I hope I don't offend you by saying what appalling excuses for human beings your so-called parents are. YOU certainly didn't/don't deserve them. You deserve loving nurturing parents, and your poor little twin. I live in...

What did I DO with it? Why, what everyone in my family does with such things. I disappeared it. *Poof* gone. I suppose I cried a bunch. I mean to say I cried A LOT at that period of my life. I would go off by myself outside and cry. I don't recall ever being aware that it was ABOUT anything...

First, let me say that it says a lot for you and him that he TOLD you this. So that's a great place to start. What would have helped me (if I could have told my sufferer that) would have been for him to listen, and be present, and communicate that he had heard me (in different words than I...

I'm totally taking shots in the dark here... so ... I could be aiming in entirely the wrong direction. And it is entirely possible I have totally missed the point. But what the hell, nothing ventured... Possum plays dead to get the threat to meander off to better prey. This leads naturally into...

Maybe this is all the bits having a look and thinking it over? Maybe that post WAS a kind of (very brave) group effort? So, you've got: 1) the Possum 2) the Actress (psycho-drama healing) 3) the Sphinx 4) the Snake 5) the Mouse 6) the Ghost (?) 7) the Baby One hypothesis: If this is right OF...
