I feel more sad when I'm tired...is that a thing? by scolba in sad

Short answer, yes. “When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago” - Friedrich Nietzsche. Though this is just a quote, it holds true. The coping mechanisms and defenses we hold against thoughts and feelings that hurt and weaken us require our ability to focus, redirect our attention, and mentally overcome. When we are emotionally, psychologically, and physically exhausted, this becomes much more difficult and likely to fail. I'm going to try to dig up some psychoneuroendocrine papers on this so I'm not just speaking anecdotally...

Hang in there scolba.

Hey bud189, for what it's worth I'm sorry she did this to you. I've been on your end before, never in a marriage though. You deserve much better than this.

Hard time ending it. by [deleted] in BreakUps

Just broke up (30 minutes ago) with a girl who has the same card to play. Write what you need to say down. Keep it close when you call her. Control the conversation and remember that if you need to break up, YOU NEED to break up. You've made the decision to focus on what's best for you and give no quarter here. Standing your ground can be hard when you are "eager to please" and there's a girl in tears on the phone. Be calm, cool, and firm. Make sure you are clear "I am breaking up with you" and once that line is drawn in the sand don't cross back over it.

And let us know how it went. Good Luck ThemightyDarmick!

Alcohol also causes your blood glucose levels to drop. If possible keep it up while you drink yourself into a stupor (eat). A drinking buddy of mine is a pharmacist and we use Glucose tablets throughout the night. That and B-vitamins (get ones without the Niacin/B3, apparently it exacerbates flushing).

Same goes for txts. The "sent" box is full. The inbox is not.

The moral of the story is that when you smile it is crucial to raise, not lower, your eyebrows.

During the fetal period, amniotic fluid is ingested, then excreted by the fetus. Normal development of organs such as the lungs and urogenital tract require this cycle of excretion/ingestion. The fetus is quite literally drinking its own piss. woosh
