I will look into that, thank you. I can see the logic there. I need to do more reading on it though before I can form an opinion.

I've always heard that being called a rebound relationship. I've never heard it called a good idea.

How do you know this ⬇ Isn't what Ladee experienced? I don't think I'm one of the people they're referring too, however I am baptised, confirmed and confessed by the Catholic church. I'd apparently survive the process, having the appropriate qualifications as I do. The church (for reasons I...

Why do you need to immediately jump into a new relationship?

About as well as one would expect in a water soluble structure under Niagara falls. ??

@Changing4Best If there's a Guinness record for having the greatest number of inanimate household objects spontaneously destroying themselves? I hope the prize is enough to cover the cost of replacing them. Oh wow. That would've been far worse than what happened here. This was only the contents...

Ok, hold on to your seats, I got a real humdinger this time.... Why me?... While I was getting ready for bed, I could hear the upstairs lady in her ensuite bathroom directly above my bedroom, going about her evening routine. Toilet flushed, sink started running. I hear the usual second flush...

I don't know how PTSD this is, but I do know it's fairly common. I've been doing this since I was a small child.

Any of the things @Ronin mentioned can do that to me. Sometimes the simplest task becomes overwhelming and I get hopelessly disoriented. What I've found works best for me, is to close my eyes, think about what I am doing and what the first step is, pushing everything else out. With only that...

Right here you can start with attentive mother. ;)

She showed up at your door unannounced, then went into conniptions because you weren't waiting by the door just in case she shows up out of the blue? She got so loud, your neighbours called security on her? Your current church staff only became interested in helping mediate this, after you quit...

Personally, I don't see the value of trigger warnings. If when I'm browsing the internet and come across *trigger warning* my immediate thought is; "Hmm... Something in the content past the warning is possibly triggering... Could it apply to me?... What triggers me?... Oh right, that... Swell...

For what it's worth. I wasn't joking, I am a lousy conversationalist. While I said it in a way that was "light hearted". I really am not good at serious conversation. As evidenced by your reaction here. Sorry if I came across disrespectful to you @Esterio, not at all my intent. I hope are able...

It's amazing how fast I can go from feeling confident in talking to someone, to wishing like hell I'd just listened to myself and stayed silent. For reasons that 99% of the time, have nothing what so ever to do with person I'm conversing with. Totally. We all come from a broad range of places...

I'm a lousy conversationalist.

It's interesting what you said about the larger animals leaving you alone because you are leaving messages they understand while in their territories. Specifically the coyotes. I had a run in with one of those last year. I was walking to work late at night down a residential road (So I was...

Try to also remember that air travel is the safest means of transport by a fair margin. Out of the ~ 4 million flights in 2017, there were fewer than 20 accidents and zero deaths. You are more likely to be struck by lightning, no exaggeration. Small comfort I know, but that's the facts of it.

I like to think I chose the third side. I'm letting everyone else fight each other. I'm fighting for me, by staying the hell out of it. Malign media be damned. If the time comes I really need to worry about something, I'll see it coming from my front door, not my Television. The news is for the...

@somerandomguy As an aside. When you mentioned that you got a female volunteer at the 1in6 helpline, do you know whether or not you could be connected to a male volunteer upon request? Glad you're feeling better by the way.

So.... having to delay completion of a rape porn novel by a few months because of an immobilisation bandage is a form of torture now? But a guy being buggered with a broomstick is good dessert reading? Her kid's in for a real shock when they get old enough to read what mummy wrote. No thank...

Why are you still trying to be super vague despite every respondent thus far being totally unable to provide you any other feedback but "Whaaaa....?" I don't know your situation but here's how it reads from my chair. It reads like a normal everyday conversation between spouses. If I was there...

No. It couldn't. A fright induced heart attack is a medical trauma. It doesn't matter what set it off. Pink elephant from an acid trip or a surprise party while sober. The life threatening event is the heart attack, not the fear. Same with the other examples you mentioned. The real danger is...

As I understand it, anaphylaxis falls under imminent threat of death. The difference being, a blocked airway will kill you. A hallucination of a pink elephant sitting on you will not. While the elephant would be frightening at the time, later when you come down and realise it wasn't real, along...

That wasn't even remotely what I was saying... Forget it.

@bellbird Not to put words in @SpiritSong's mouth, please correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps her father joined the Unitarian service not to worship a deity or faith, but to be part of a community of people. Atheist's believe in people, many believe that people are generally good and kind. I...
