Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I have had recurrent major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder since I was eight. By the time I entered college, my mental health had deteriorated. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder were added to my list of diagnoses. I was suicidal often, and between the winter I entered college in 2006, to present, I have been hospitalized for suicidal ideation over twenty times. Functioning in the "real world" constantly becomes more of a challenge.
In March of 2012, a functional medicine doctor –- also a psychiatrist -– I started seeing offered to do neurointegration therapy with me. Please visit this site for more information. I had been referred to her by a relative who is a holistic psychiatrist and is well respected in her field. My regular psychiatrist also highly recommended her.
I researched the treatment and talked to this new doctor about it. There have never been any negative reactions to the treatment. She also told me I would need less medication afterward, which was very appealing. I went for it.
After the first couple of weeks, I felt great. I had a lot more energy. Then, I began becoming increasingly anxious. At my next appointment I reported this, and we tried to counteract it with a different protocol. This process of creating anxiety and then trying to calm it down went on for a couple of weeks, until I was so nervous I couldn't function. I was also on more medication, instead of less.
I felt trapped: I did not want to undergo more treatments, but at the same time, it seemed that to get rid of the anxiety I needed to keep going back. Finally, I had enough and pulled the plug. I canceled my appointment and got a appointment with my old psychiatrist for that same day. He direct admitted me to the hospital's psychiatric unit.
Over the next 45 days, I was in and out of the hospital three times. Nothing helped my anxiety or the thought that I had ruined my life. Finally, during my third hospital stay, psychiatric residential treatment was recommended.
I was fortunate that I worked for a small business that was understanding and supportive. Several other employees had mental health issues, and the company was good at accommodation. After a hospitalization in the Fall of 2012, and a talk with the owner, I did decide to share with them that I had severe depression and anxiety. They were wonderful, and I felt like I might be able to hold a job despite my illnesses.
They were no different when I started having problems following the neurointegration. I reduced my hours and worked in between hospital stays. When I found out I would need to be gone at least a month at residential treatment, I set up a phone call with the owner –- she picked the time. When I called her cell phone at the scheduled time, one of the managers answered and said the owner was in a meeting and had asked him to take my call.
To my knowledge, he did not know about my health problems. I felt uncomfortable talking with him, but I felt I had no choice. When I finished explaining that I would be gone at least a month, and I wasn't sure what kind of access I would have to phone or e-mail, he said that it was fine. He told me to, "take the time [I] need," and to "call [them] when I was ready to start working again." He even told me what the game plan would be for my first day back.
I asked if there was anything I needed to do, and he said no. I was still uncomfortable, so I asked if I could call the owner back later, and he said no. I figured I was just uneasy because of all the anxiety I was experiencing, so I thanked him and hung up.
Residential treatment was a wonderful opportunity. However, I had to self-pay the $24,000 per month out of pocket. The facility wanted me there for two months, but I could not afford more than the initial month. When my month was up, I returned home.
A few days later, I decided I should e-mail the owner of the company I worked for and let her know I was back in town to see when she would like me to get the medical leave forms from the hospitals to her. I received an email back stating that because I had not submitted any formal paper work nor been in contact for over a month, I no longer had a position there; I would receive my formal letter in the mail later that week.
I immediately sent a concise, polite e-mail to the manager who had spoken to me on the phone before I left and CC-ed the owner. The owner got back to me saying that it was not a mistake. I was beyond devastated. That job was not just a paycheck for me; it represented moving beyond illness and into a functioning adult life. It was a job where I was frequently told how well I was doing, how much they liked me, and how they could see me there, "long term." Losing all that was painful and confusing.
I received the formal letter in the mail at the end of the week. I read it over, and as I did, I had to bite my lip from screaming out loud, ripping out my hair, or getting on my computer and doing something I might later regret.
Then, I gained control and took out a pen. Every reason they listed for letting me go for "job abandonment" was the direct opposite of all verbal communication I had ever had with them over the 12 months I had worked there. There were a couple exceptions, and those reasons were quality control issues (I was an apprentice and a technician was supposed to check all of my work, and they said that they had things returned that I had not done properly. Yet, all of my work had been checked by their technicians, so really they had missed it).
Looking at my letter with blue ink scribbled in every available corner helped me see how messed up the situation was. Unfortunately, up until this point, the company had been so supportive and cooperative, that I did not even think to get anything in writing.
When I told family and friends, many people wanted to give me advice, but the way my company had worded their letter, there was nothing I could do. I had nothing on my side in writing, so I could not sue them. I could not file for unemployment, because I had "left" my job due to "job abandonment," which disqualifies me from receiving unemployment. They had also taken phrases like "undue hardship" directly from the Americans with Disabilities Act list of reasons when a company can legally dismiss a disabled employee. It was over.
For the first six weeks I was home from treatment, I was too mentally unstable to do much or look for a job. I was hurting financially; Because I am a recent college graduate, I had no savings. Right now I am living with my Mom and she is helping to support me. But what really concerns me is just how much of an impact this experience is going to have when I apply for another job.
I worry that future employers will ask me why I left my last job, and then what do I say? I have been brainstorming this issue for a of couple weeks now and still cannot decide what my best option is. If I choose not mention this job, I do not have much experience to draw on, and my recent job history dwindles.
In my last year of college, I had a previous job for a month. At that time, I had a severe depressive episode, was hospitalized for several weeks, and decided I should not work and just concentrate on school.
There is so much up in the air for me right now, and not all of it is due to the discrimination I faced at work. The one thing I do know is that I am much happier post residential treatment and everyone -– myself included -– notices the improvements.
Am I happy this happened? No, but I am working on accepting it. I am, for the first time in a long time, happy with my life, despite how many terrible things have been thrown my way. I smile, I laugh, and I enjoy family and friends. The job will come.
For today, I am trying to be grateful for what I do have, what is going well in my life, and keep faith that things will work out how and when they are meant to.

|Governance in England
Mr. Steen: Is my hon. Friend aware that in Torbay, Brixham, in my constituency, has always been regarded as the poor neighbour of Torquay and Paignton? There was a tremendous build up of belief there that there should be a referendum for a local town council. That referendum took place three years ago, and the general expectation was that there would be overwhelming support for Brixham town council. Less than 8 per cent. of the electorate voted, and Brixham town council no longer exists. Does my hon. Friend agree that, in the case of an assembly or regional government, a high figure—over 50 per cent.—should have to vote? Otherwise, officials could vote in a regional government just by force of numbers.
Mr. Luff: I am very glad that I gave way to my hon. Friend. He has led me to my next point, which is the referendum. It is important to get that right. How will the referendums be conducted? What will the trigger mechanism be? The Minister offered few clues during the question-and-answer session. I have a problem in my constituency—I hope to discuss it during the Adjournment debate tomorrow—in that parish polls are being called, at great cost to the town council, on the wishes of 10 people out of a population of 20,000. Those polls are a complete irrelevance and a waste of time. Therefore, there must be a high threshold for trigger mechanisms.
There should be a right of veto for the shire counties around Birmingham and the black country against the creation of a west midlands regional assembly against their wishes. I can envisage a situation in which a small turnout in Birmingham votes for the regional assembly and the shire counties such as Herefordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire vote against, but the total vote brings in a regional assembly, over the heads of the people who live in my constituency and nearby.
Lawrie Quinn: Notwithstanding the important technical point that the hon. Gentleman has raised, does he believe in the principle of using referendums to establish public opinion?
Mr. Luff: It is absolutely right that those things should be created on the back of referendums if they are to be created at all.
My other worry is the cascading technique, which the Government used in Scotland and Wales. There would be no devolved assembly in Wales if the referendums had been held on the same day. The Government deliberately staggered the referendums in order to engineer the ''correct'' vote in Wales. I am fearful that the same thing would happen here. There has been a strong call for a long time for a regional assembly in the north-east—I shall explain in concluding how that can be addressed without the need to create regional assemblies. However, that area will vote, then Yorkshire will vote, and it will roll on down, and the west midlands might feel that it has to have an assembly because otherwise it will lose out. That is a gerrymandering technique. It is not honest and open; it is fiddling with democracy.
There is no call for a regional assembly in the west midlands. In my 10 years as a Member of Parliament, I have barely had a single letter asking for a regional assembly—I might have had one. People are breathless at the thought that they might be run from Birmingham; that is the fear in Worcestershire. We love Birmingham. It is a huge, dense urban core, a city of which we are proud to be neighbours, but we do not want it to run our affairs. It took 30 years to get a regional hospital in Worcestershire because the regional health service was based in Birmingham and Worcestershire was, frankly, off its radar screen. That was a problem of regionalism. It was only when we got away from that that we had a chance of building a decent hospital for the county.
We are used to working with Gloucestershire—the three-choirs festival is based on the cathedrals of the three counties Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. There is a three-counties showground for agricultural purposes—Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. Naturally, we would work with Gloucestershire, but that county is to be in the south-west region. There are bits of Gloucestershire that lie to the north of my constituency.
In my constituency, Broadway sticks out like an arm into the Cotswolds. Broadway would be run from Birmingham, yet villages like Willersey, to the north, will be run from Bristol, together with Penzance and the Isles of Scilly, whose Member of Parliament is on this Committee. We need to work with Gloucestershire, not with Birmingham.
Regional assemblies might be what Labour politicians want, with their neat ideas of bureaucracies and new government structures, or what Liberals want because they think it might give them a bit more power here or there—although I hope that the hon. Member for St. Ives (Andrew George) has severe reservations as to what the implications of all this are for Cornwall—but they are not what ordinary people want. Regional assemblies will not remove confusion; they will add it. They will not create clarity; they will remove it. They will increase the numbers of politicians, and will lead eventually to the abolition of county councils.
I have a couple of radical thoughts for the Minister. If the assemblies will genuinely take powers only from this place, we should make Members of Parliament who represent those parts of the country the members of regional assemblies. That would require no extra elections. For a couple of days each week or for a week each month, we could go to Birmingham, for example—that would be the destination in my case—and sit on the regional assembly. The rest of the time, we would come down here. There would be no extra politicians. That solution offers clarity and, although it is radical, the Minister might consider it.
If regions such as the north-east want a regional assembly, they should be able to have one de facto, and be given extra powers and resources. The economic development functions exercised by RDAs should all be in the hands of county councils and unitary authorities, which could band together in whatever way they thought appropriate. Just as we have combined authorities for fire and police services, there could be an economic regeneration service.
Regions should be allowed to do that. We do not need Acts of Parliament or new levels of bureaucracy—the Government could simply give county councils and unitary authorities the money and power to gang together as they think fit. In my part of the world, we would gang together not with Birmingham but with Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. That would make an effective little unit.
11.36 am
John Mann (Bassetlaw): I am somewhat stunned by the prospect of Nottinghamshire county council being given the economic development budget of the regional development agency. I am not sure that that would be in the interests of delivery by governance.
I want to make a specific and general point. My mailbag is bulging, and so is my website—if a website can bulge—with mail from many people on many issues, but none of those communications has been an e-mail, letter or petition calling for more governance. I may not be the most popular person with my constituents, some of whom may regard me as a half-wit. In considering how best my area should be governed, to take one half-wit and add another half-wit will not create a full-wit, because a half-wit times a half-wit equals a quarter-wit.
I support the principle of regional assemblies, if that is what people want, but the crucial issue is what kind of threshold there is and how wide it should be. A constituency such as mine looks not to the east midlands but to Yorkshire; we have Yorkshire television and radio, and Yorkshire commuters.
Ministers may want to consider the history of the trade union movement when they examine the question of boundaries. There are a myriad of different regional boundaries across the trade unions in England for which regional democratic structures have existed for 100 years. The General, Municipal, Boilermakers and Allied Trades Union, the Transport and General Workers Union, and Unison—or NUPE, as it was known—all had different regional boundaries. In my constituency, a member of Unison will be in the east midlands and a member of the TGWU will be in Yorkshire, but not Yorkshire and Humber, although someone in Peterborough—to the east—will belong to that region. Lincolnshire is in the Yorkshire region of the TGWU. For the GMB, Humberside and Hull comes under the east midlands. Those boundaries were created because of economic structures and perceptions of where trade and job links lay. Some attention should be paid in the White Paper to regional union structures, because it is an illuminating subject.
Those of us who live on the boundary of a region should have as much say as those who live in the core. Therefore, the threshold should not be simply in terms of numbers but should cross constituencies. If those in the extremities of the region felt that regional government was a step forward, I would welcome that, as strategies for control over the police, regional development agencies, fire services, transport and tourism would be far more coherent on a regional basis than on a national, district or county basis.
I turn to the role of Back Benchers. Where within the structures will Back Benchers be given the ability to scrutinise the bodies? I suggest that there should be Select Committees of the regions in this place, if not instead of regional government, perhaps in addition. The people running the various authorities could then be called together. That would benefit democracy, accountability and efficient government, and be a major step forward for delivery of Government priorities, as dictated by votes in this place.
My main point is on the question of over-governance. Instinctively, despite the reticence that I mentioned, the principle of regional government appeals to me, but over-governance does not appeal. Luckily, there are no mayors in my patch, and I hope that that remains the case—it certainly will if I have anything to do about it. However, we have parish and district councils, county councils and elections to Parliament and Europe. Some would want us to have elections to a second Chamber, although I think that that would be an election too far. I would simply scrap the second Chamber in its entirety and replace it—perhaps with a committee of the regions.
We do not want fewer and fewer voters turning out for more and more elections. Throughout the last century, the maximum number of elections was four, which was probably too many; in the final calculation, we may end up with seven or eight elections. The Minister said that there was no secret agenda to abolish county councils—indeed, it should not be secret. I support regional government, and believe that we should scrap county councils in advance of creating regional government. There is no role for both in my area. Regional governance would be a step forward only on the basis that county councils were scrapped.
We might scrap Nottinghamshire county council as an experiment, for example, in preparation for regional government. It would be a major step forward for my area to make schools directly funded and accountable, with head teachers running secondary schools and a family of primary schools.

Facebook, which this week collaborated with Microsoft to introduce "The Internet Bug Bounty" program, expects to expand the list of open source programs the initiative will focus on securing, the company said.
The bug bounty program, revealed Wednesday, aims to incentivize vulnerability disclosures that have "severe security implications to the public," according to a website set up for the movement.
In addition to tackling widespread vulnerabilities affecting internet users – which could impact multiple vendors, or those with a significant user base – Microsoft and Facebook also assembled a list of 11 open source projects, making specific information on cash rewards available for each.
Sandbox Escapes, OpenSSL, Ruby, Python, Rails, Apache httpd, PHP, Django, Perl, Phabricator and Nginx, are currently all open source projects highlighted on the hackerone.com website launched for the "Internet Bug Bounty" program.
Bounties range from a minimum $300 reward for eligible Phabricator bugs to a minimum $5,000 reward for novel discoveries impacting Sandbox Escapes – the same starting amount offered for significant disclosures in the program's "internet" category.
On Friday, Alex Rice, product security lead at Facebook, told SCMagazine.com in an email that the highlighted open source projects were chosen according to how "critical" the projects were to users.
While Microsoft and Facebook are funding the initial round of bounties, the program is managed by a panel of security experts from the companies and from Google, Etsy and San Francisco-based security firm iSEC Partners.
"We picked a handful of open source projects that we think are critical to a lot of people – for example, OpenSSL, and the Ruby programming language," Rice said.
He added that the grouping of open source projects featured will likely grow as time progresses.
"We explicitly selected projects with historically strong security track records and an active volunteer community of security contributors, and we will very likely expand the list in the future," Rice said.

E85 gasoline is an alternative fuel type containing a higher amount of ethanol, typically between 51 and 83 percent. This type of fuel only works in flexible fuel vehicles designed to run on both E85 and traditional fuel. Flexible fuel cars often have a yellow gas cap for identification.Continue Reading
Not all gas stations have pumps for E85 fuel. The pumps are clearly marked to avoid confusion with other fuel types. E85 fuel is often cheaper than lower ethanol fuels, but the vehicle gets lower gas mileage when running on E85. This is because the higher ethanol blends have less energy based on volume than gasoline.Learn more about Car Parts & Maintenance

Scissor Crunches - Exercise Technique
Scissor Crunches - Muscles Worked & Benefits
Exercise Type: Multi-joint
Primary Muscles Worked: Abdominals
Designed to work the upper and lower abs, Scissor Crunches take a lot of effort to maintain control and stability throughout each rep. If you complete each movement deliberately, contracting the abs on the way up and down, you will see the results immediately particularly in the upper abs.
Scissor Crunches - Exercise Workout & Technique
- Lie down on the floor, knees bent, feet flat on the floor and hands besides your ears.
- Similar to the crunch, slowly raise your shoulders off the ground. At the same time, bring your knees towards your torso. Exhale as you perform this movement.
- At the end point of contraction, where you knees are closest to your body, squeeze and hold.
- Inhale and return to the starting position with your torso almost parallel to the floor and feet almost touching the floor.
- Repeat for the specified amount of reps.
Scissor Crunches - Tips & Safety
- Keep all reps slow and controlled, ensuring that you crunch at the peak of the movement.
- Ensure that you squeeze your torso and ribcage at the top of the Scissor Crunch and resist with your abs on the way down.
Scissor Crunches - Alternatives
- Try Seated Leg Tucks to work you upper and lower abs in an even more challenging abdominal training technique.

Draw and win for youngsters on first day in Dusseldorf
26 March 2016|Tottenham Hotspur
Our Academy picked up four points out of six during a solid opening day at the Under-19 Champions Trophy in Dusseldorf, Germany, today (Saturday, March 26).
Following a goalless draw with PSV Eindhoven in our Group Two curtain-raiser, we secured a 1-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach to leave ourselves second in the overnight standings.
Coach Matt Wells saw plenty of positives from the two games, which were 25 minutes each way, but insisted there remains room for improvement ahead of Sunday's matches against current leaders Japan High School Selection (kick-off 2pm local time) and Fortuna Dusseldorf (kick-off 6.30pm local time).
"Obviously we're pleased to get four points from the first two games and not to have conceded a goal – in general we've shown an extreme work ethic which we're pleased about, but the challenge we've set for the players tomorrow is to be specialists at their individual jobs," he said.
"I thought we started cagily in the first game against PSV, but that's understandable because the first games at these tournaments are always a little bit tense. There were some good bits in there but we just lacked a bit of an end product. In the second half we improved on that and had a couple of chances, although at the end we were disappointed not to have won because on the balance of play we probably deserved to take the three points.
"In the second game we needed to be a bit more ruthless. We should have put the game to bed after the goal and we ended up having a difficult end to the match with our opponents being extremely direct.
"In both games, probably because of the attacking nature of our play, we've been fouled a lot and although the quality of our deliveries from set pieces has been very good, our desire to go and attack the ball needs to improve because really we should be making the keeper work more often than not. We've given ourselves a good base to build on today, though, and now we're looking forward to tomorrow's matches."
Indeed, our best two chances against PSV both came from set pieces and each time it was Anton Walkes on the end of it but, after seeing his first effort saved by the goalkeeper, his late header was cleared off the line and the game remained goalless.
We performed well against Borussia Monchengladbach and took the lead on 27 minutes when Anthony Georgiou fired in a shot that deflected off the goalkeeper's leg and flew into the roof of the net.
Keanan Bennetts and Ryan Loft were then both denied by the keeper in one-on-one situations, with Jack Roles seeing his effort blocked on the follow-up from the latter chance.
Soon afterwards, Zenon Stylianides did well to get down the right side and cut the ball back for Loft but the striker fired wide. However, we came through a tense last few moments to win the game 1-0.
Spurs (v PSV Eindhoven): Glover, Duncan, Tsaroulla, Marsh (Roles 43), Mukena, Walkes, Tracey (Bennetts 38), Stylianides, Loft (Sterling 32), Goddard, Georgiou.
Spurs (v Borussia Monchengladbach): McDermott, Muscatt (Mukena 45), Georgiou, Marsh, Maghoma, Walkes, Tracey, Roles, Oteh (Loft 31), Goddard (Stylianides 37), Bennetts (Sterling 41).

Has the American public become a society of shunpikers?
If you're not familiar with the term, shunpiking is the act of deliberately avoiding roads that require payment of a fee or toll to travel on them, usually by traveling on alternate 'free' roads which bypass the toll road.
Shunpiking might be the way to go if you're unveiling a new Harley Davidson on a beautiful autumn day, but for the average American it's quite the contrary. In fact, recent surveys indicate that the public is far more supportive of toll roads and user fees than we are often led to believe.

I got this through LibraryThing Member Giveaway and enjoyed it very much. I am sorry to say I am late with my review of this collection due to unexpected life circumstances, but here it is.
There are many fine stories in this volume but I will mention a couple of my favorites. "The Greening of Bushton" outlines how new inventions/discoveries can negatively impact us. The other is "Occupied". This is about a woman trapped by a predator and her fight to survive. And misplaced trust.
I recommend this collection to anyone who likes twisted stories ala Twilight Zone.

I thoroughly enjoyed this selection of short stories and found myself constantly turning to my coworkers to tell them about the story that I'd just finished. (Not that I was reading while on the job or anything!) It would be difficult to choose my favorite out of these great tales because each had a surprise ending or left me a bit shocked at the end and I just love that. The story about the calendar was very original although you just knew how it had to end once the premise became clear. The Biffy Palace Killer was great and had me sweating it out right along with the main character. I enjoyed these so much that I intend to check out the other books offered by this author.

Short stories that have to do with the apocalypse and just plain creepy. My favorite would have to be "The Calendar In The Break Room" Can this calendar really predict one's death? "Last Seat On The Rapture Express" with people flying off the train if you didn't have a ticket was good but it was the ending that got me. If you like these kind of stories then you will enjoy this book. I won this from LibraryThing Member Giveaway and I recommend this book.

Interesting snippets of apocalyptic tales. Enjoyed it felt some could be turned into longer stories would be interested in reading them if that happened. One that held my interest was called The Opportunity about a man and his wife in an accident trying to hold on until they're rescued
With a twisted ending.

Visconti Rembrandt Rollerball Pen
Visconti adds new colors to the palette of its popular Rembrandt collection, inspired by the chiaroscuro painting technique favored by the great artist. The chiaroscuro is echoed in the pen's finish - on close inspection, the seemingly solid colors reveal the chiaroscuro nuances, giving the illusion that each one is painted by hand. The rounded body holds the Visconti arc clip with spring mechanism that is virtually indestructible. The cap and barrel snap together with a magnetic lock that is easy and efficient. The central band is finely engraved with ornamental motifs used by the artist. The Rembrandt is offered in a fountain pen with engraved steel nib, a twist ball pen or a capped rollerball pen. Let your creative words flow with Rembrandt!

Libertarianism, an extremely dangerous fad
(5:16) Who in their right mind likes to be told what they can or can't do? In an ideal world, everybody could do whatever they pleased - no rules, no regulations, no laws, no government wasting our hard-earned cash! - and the results would benefit all because people care about each other. But in the real world, freedom means the freedom for the rich and powerful to exploit the poor for their own self benefit. And this they do with relish and obscene success. EvelJustin Jones argues against the holy grail of freedom and liberty.
