Lying down and waiting 12-48 hours until it stops. Nothing else works.

Well I was being a bit silly. But just the fact that it's another pretty woman looking tired at her desk is annoying enough.

The photo is of a doctor doing a facepalm, which sends entirely the wrong message. What's she thinking - "Oh no, not another ME patient!"

They need to take a good long look in the mirror.

I hope when they find a cure it isn't only for right handed people.

Would I be right in assuming that your friend is extremely proud of himself?

Hi and welcome :)

Well thank goodness it's possible to replace a negative self-fullfilling prophecy with a positive one: I first read about positive self-fullfilling prophecies from this book, which was kindly recommended to me by anonymous and unsolicited letter in 1983: As an open-minded and optimistic...

Psy-ence?

I watched the video in the OP for less than thirty seconds. Up to the point where the narrator, who was gabbling on, said "mental health has physical symptoms too" and then raced on to her next point. Let's press pause right there. Let's think about what she just said, and how many ways that...
