I'm going for CBT because of general anxiety, this anxiety has come along with worsening autism symptoms as a result of long-term unemployment - I honestly believe that the only thing that will help me get back to normal is to be... |

| Studying religion is great, it opens your mind to new ideas... ...however don't expect to make it into a career. I studied religion at your age, then I went on to take religious studies and philosophy in college, I wanted to go to get my doctrine but it wouldn't have gotten me a job so as much as I ... |

| I get into arguments and can't let it go, even if I can avoid continuing an argument I still can't help but want to know what else is said, I get so wound-up it sends my anxiety sky-high and I can't calm myself down. I get so wound-up at other people's stupidity and ignorance, that you can state a f... |

We're a good-sized city and I know for a fact that we have hundreds of autistic p... |

| No, it's not possible. Firstly the hymen isn't 'lost' or 'broken' - it can tear, but only as a result of vaginal penetration (even then, unless penetration is forced or rough the hymen can normally let smaller items through without tearing, or can stretch to accommodate larger items).

| My anxiety is especially high today. 1. I had messages in my inbox today from people praising my knowledge of my 'special interest', this happens a lot with people praising me, wanting to network or wanting my input on something. I can't stand it - I react to praise as with criticism - I can't reply... |
