I think that Thinx, Dear Kate, and Modibodi are pretty comparable. Generally, if it doesn't have water-proof specifically listed in the description, it probably isn't worth it. If you're working out or getting in strange positions a lot, I've found that ones with a higher cut leg are better.

There is some research out there about using EMDR to treat sexual paraphilias. The general idea is that maladaptive behaviors are the result of unprocessed disturbing memories. It would address past experiences that are the cause of the behavior and current triggers of the behavior. I think...

I'm really glad to hear that you are texting her less. That's a really great step. Maybe a good next step is to try and wait a little bit longer each time to respond. You would be able to test your belief that something terrible would happen without her in your life in a small and controlled...

You've mentioned being in abusive relationships before? Is there anything that you can take from those experiences to give yourself more ideas as to how to get out of this one? I think it might help to post here more about the steps you have taken in establishing boundaries. At least here, it...

There are two reasons that I might disclose to someone giving me a massage. The first, which I don't think would apply in this situation since there's already a level of trust from yoga, is to reinforce that if I say no to something that I am most likely not going to be open to much...

I still have the termination of treatment letter from my old psychiatrist pinned up on my bulletin board. You covered a lot of the same stuff that it did. The only things that are in it that aren't in yours is about going to an emergency room if there's an emergency and being able to contact...

I think the biggest brand has made it into some underwear stores, but they're mostly sold online still. The better ones are made out of fabric that is designed to dry bizarrely fast and not have odors. The ones with more of a pouch design are more like wearing a pad.

If he doesn't respect you, which is what this sounds like to me, I don't think that there would be a point to going back for a final discussion. You could always try writing what you would like to say to him and then decide what to do from there.

I have. It helped a little. We still got people mixed up, but I think it helped with getting an idea of how many people there are in my family. She might not be too much more likely to remember which aunt was which, but she remembered better that there were quite a few of them.

I'm having a hard time responding because I feel like there is a big missing piece. Why not give him to someone that you don't know? You've explained that you don't know anyone that would take him in but not why you would not go to a shelter or rescue organization that you aren't familiar...

I really like the idea of you talking to your niece about your experience. It would be really helpful to show your niece that it is okay to talk about mental health stuff. It sounds like your sister and niece are communicating well about this, but it is also good to talk to someone that can...

I have someone on the periphery of my life that has done something like this, and it totally creeped me out too. They're someone that it would be too inconvenient to cut out 100%, but I try really hard to not let her know much about my mental health, which is the thing that I was the most...

Have you considered dark colored period panties? You might not be able to completely stop using other period products, but it might work for light flow days.

Touch seems to be the most easily effective for me. I love fans. I have one at home, and a lot of Walmarts have a fan aisle in the summer that I love standing in. I like showering, too. Body position seems to make a difference for me. If I'm laying down, it is a lot more helpful if I'm on my...

Some of my strategies involve the timeline of the party. If people will be eating soon after it starts, I'll go early and help set things up. You'll run into a lot of people as you're rushing around, but you'll have an excuse for not stopping to have a chat. It's a good option for towards the...

Is there anything that you could do that would relieve some of your anxiety without causing too much damage? I also go through phases like that. Some of the things I do are cleaning out my closet, cooking something that I could eat for the next several days, or cleaning the oven or refrigerator.

Have you mentioned this to any of your doctors? They may be able to recommend a service that you would be eligible for.

Would they be eligible for medical assistance? Eligibility varies by state, and in some states that expanded Medicaid after Obamacare people don't know that they would be eligible under the new guidelines. Some areas may also have special programs for people with a mental health diagnosis if...

I think it would be best to wait until you have definite plans before you tell her and are very close to moving (or even already have). Your mother already feels completely free to meddle in your life in invasive ways, and I could see her escalating to harassing your partner's family or trying...

My cell phone got it, but it was very chill about it. I had forgotten about it, and it wasn't bad. I saw that there wasn't an emergency immediately. I think I might have actually been more stressed out if I hadn't got one because then I'd be worried about what would happen if there actually was...

I want to keep this updated for anyone that comes looking for a thread like this later. I have some good news. Both my therapist and psychiatrist thought it was weird when they got it. It was a relief, especially because I have been seeing this psychiatrist for a really short amount of time...

I got a lawyer right from the beginning. She helps her clients fill out that form, but not all of them do. I took some notes about her tips because it seemed like something that someone else would find useful eventually. Honesty was the main thing that she stressed. You don't want to make...

Is there anything with your relationship or attachment issues specifically that you want to work on? After a break, it can be hard because you don't have that forward momentum carried over from all of your other appointments. When I'm seeing someone on a regular basis, I continue thinking about...

Eggplant parm (not the perfection that I make, but it was okay), Gala apple, and a string cheese

Huge apple with peanut butter and a bit of mozzarella cheese
