I guess getting it cut by other people is not an option? :) I cut my own hair but it's very long, so I only need to do it twice a year.

I'm into fortune telling of all different sorts. :D As well as all sorts of "alternative" stuff like aromatherapy, crystal healing, herbal medicine ...etc. Unfortunately nobody in my family cares about those. Some of them are affronted by the word "luck" already, so I never talk ...

Your periods (if you're not on birth control) should come exactly two weeks after ovulation. Stress and illness can delay ovulation, so they tend to delay periods. Stressful event that happened a couple days ago could not affect ovulation. If your symptoms feel different it is likely you didn't ovu...

Thank you so much for replies! I know this forum isn't very busy. Unfortunately I can't cut her off. She's an orphan, my dad's gone. She only has two kids and my brother has severe mental issues. So I'm her only family who still has a brain. Also we're Chinese. If there's any issue between parent - ...

My mom is the greatest source of stress in my life. More than stresses about money, jobs, raising children and the state of the world combined. As far as I know she's the biggest stress to every other family member, too. I don't understand how one person can be so volatile, so combustible, burning w...

I think introverts have low energy, so probably most aspies, but it's not an autistic thing. Not being energetic is common and not wrong. That's why coffee and tea are popular all over the world, right? :D

Edna, have you got checked for allergies? Your nose shouldn't be stuffed for no reason. Pollen is the most likely cause, or, mold or pollution. If you can find the cause it can be easily treatable.

I can't help but want to say your mom sounds really nice. You're very lucky. :) I don't think my mom has ever rubbed my back. 8O If that happened to my mom and me in a store we'd probably argue all the way home, and she would complain about it all night. Don't feel bad. I'm sure it happens all the t...

I was also gong to suggest seeing the positives in life. Maybe try a "gratitude journal". It can really help. 40 is not too old to start something new. I know plenty of people who changed their life in their 40s or even 50s and were very happy they did. Focus on something small first that ...

Of course. I was so used to seeing people with "proper" expressions I was astonished to see people displaying real emotions. I also know many of those people are completely different within their homes. Like my mom is a terror within our family, but kind and charming to outsiders. Even lon...

Are you taking anything to control this instability? Some amount of mood change and discomfort is normal for everyone. I mean I hardly know a single person who loves having periods. However if you can't handle it then you have a real issue, regardless of what your bloodwork showed. Some girls do muc...

Is blonde rare in the place you live? I can't say I relate. Half of my extended family are natural blondes and I'd say they all seem pretty ordinary. :) I was very skinny when I was younger, but didn't feel particularly attractive. Mostly I don't judge people by their looks. People are just people a...

I love maps but have no sense of direction in real life. It's kinda stupid as I have a degree in geography.

Do you guys get lost, too in a video game without maps? I can't remember places in video games either.

If regular relaxation doesn't help (like watching something funny while having a drink), I'd have a hot shower and just cry and cry. Let it all out while you're alone and in control.

Hope you find relief soon.

I was going to say ADHD is a possibility. One of my boys has that. He's just sooo active. Tried a few medications for ADHD and he said they're not worth the side effects. The good thing about it is that he's lean and fit from being so active, that's unlike the rest of us. :D
