Dear C & Dr. B; It feels like there is a storm raging in my head. My entire life sucks. First, there was my mom who decided she was gay, then dumped my dad for an absolute monster of a woman to whom she devoted the rest of her life, while totally neglecting her first […]
Dear C and Dr. B; I’m dissatisfied with my relationship and something has to change, but I keep putting it off because I feel guilty. I am still trying to figure out if this is the right thing. I’m 26 and have been with my boyfriend, Steve, since I was 16. He is a great […]
Dear C and Dr. B; I got the shock of my life when I was sorting through some CDs and found one with text files I didn’t recognize. They looked like scripts, but one of the characters had my name, so I started to read and discovered these were “conversations” from an interactive cyber sex […]

Dear C and Dr. B; I just had an experience with my younger sister, Emma that scared the crap out of me. I don’t ever want it to happen again. First, I have to mention that Emma has been on psychiatric meds for a while. She’s switched doctors a few times and they kept switching […]
This was a year that seemed to end not with a bang, but with a long-suffering whimper, with the health of both our government and our people somewhat in limbo. It is often said that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Let’s take a moment to look back. First, despite […]
When it comes to habits and the way they affect our health, there are two kinds – bad habits and good ones. The bad ones can debilitate and damage us; the good ones can help make our lives better. We all know how hard it is to break a bad habit, but what most people […]
Dear C and Dr. B; I am a 16-year-old girl and I am painfully in love with Brian, my first real boyfriend. I say painfully because my feelings for him are so strong that sometimes they are like a real physical ache. I do have a life and I am thinking of my future. I […]
