- I really need some help with a new problem.Apparently my flashbacks and dissociations are having a more noticeable impact on my performance at work than I realized. Last week I was called into my supervisor's office for questioning about why it has...
- In addition to a much more serious issue I've been experiencing for a while (detailed in my journal entries for all this month on DS) I just saw a news article that is making me worry. The article is about how the university I work at might be...
- This story in the news is both upsetting and conscerning to me. If you look up "man arrested for disagreeing with feminist" online it will bring up article after article about a case a few months back in Canada where a father of 4 lost his job and...
- I'm not sure if there's actually any kind of advice that would help me with this or if I just need to vent and get it off my chest. When I tried searching the web for any articles about this subject it only turned up results applicable to women...
