I always use to enjoy a spliff..
I would always nod off.
But it would be the best chilled nap. I would feel all warm and cozy.
Can't partake in anything anymore though  but i do miss a spliff occasionally. Especially when i am stressed out and cant sleep. |

| There is a lot of stigma around BPD, even in the medical profession. The issue is as well, that if you place a person with Autism amongst a therapy group of BPD, they can unconsiously mimic their behaviours, they can mask to assimilate, which will then confuse the situation further.

Thats all well and good...but they might want to deal with the discrimination a teen mother faces in China and also aid them in financial support as there seems to be a loophole for unmarried woman in the workplace there..
