For a couple of years, I would rip off the nails on my two smallest toes. Like all the way off. No nail left. I’d let them grow back and do it again.

Everyone stop what you're doing and buy some Skin Glide. I ordered a travel sized bottle for a trip, and I was able to go ALL day without reapplying, and there was not a moment where I felt uncomfortable!

I'm fortunate enough that a combination of birth control and antidepressants has lessened my PMDD drastically, but before I found the right medications for me, I would spend the two weeks before my period slowly getting more and more depressed until I would skip school and blame it… Read More
