Great version of this tune. I started seeing Phish in 1987, and I saw them twice at Goddard College at Halloween. Trey's singing "...from Goddard College, YEAH!" just cracks my shit up.

Great find. Thanks. Is *is* too bad we don't learn anything more about "the girl." She's so beguiling.

"Is this coming at us?"

I don't know. Let's just stand here and see if we die.

She's so lovely.

AJ, what's going on with your cat???

:)

When you say that your feelings didn't feel like yours...that's very much how I feel. Some of what I feel feels TOTALLY alien to me, as if I'm literally feeling someone else's feelings. And that makes me feel like I'm losing my mind, which then of course creates a ton of anxiety. It's like, "this...

And what exactly does "mild depression" mean? Does that mean feeling "mildly" hopeless, "mildly" despairing, or "mildly" sad?

@randomguy1882

My God you're right. The phone was ridiculous. Was there no one else in the place to pick the damn thing up?

I didn't really "confront" my parents, but I did ask some very probing questions. My mother was forthcoming about some painful things, but since then has been like, "ugh, you're still having problems? I thought that was all over?"

My father hasn't taken responsibility for anything and never wil...

Chad seems like the healthiest Pepper. I'm guessing he didn't do the dope like the others?

@ajmahari This is so true! You don't have to be horribly sexually abused to develop really awful symptoms later in life, whether you call it BPD seems beside the point.

Parents who are indifferent, dismissive, distant or who are passive can cause INCREDIBLE damage to the child because children ...

Hi AJ,

Thanks for the great videos. I totally agree that the idea of "normal" is a bit dubious, but I do believe there is such as thing as being non-functional. For example, if someone is totally debilitated by despair, clinical depression, anxiety, etc, to the point where they can't get out of ...

I can totally relate to the suffering of having a mother who lacks personality. Another way to say this might be to say a mother who lacks person-hood, desire, passion, soul...things that give shape to one's personality. But, how does one even begin to deal with the damage that this does? How doe...

How do they know that there's a genetic/biological brain component or cause? Can they compare one brain to another and see deficiencies or abnormalities?

Darwin Award finalist right here.

I'm sorry, but this thing known as "high marking" where snowmobilers drive their machines up a steep, heavily snow-loaded slope is about as dumb as it gets. Stop riding your stupid, obnoxious, noise and air polluting snowmobiles up mountain face and there will less fatalities.

You guys do really, really great work with these videos. Keep it up.

Isn't it kind of unwise to ride a snowmobile up a steep slope that is heavily loaded? I mean, no wonder people keep dying in the accidents.

She ain't no Cat Power.

@traceyh415 Thanks for the info, Tracey. I'm glad to see you're doing so well. I hope Jake is resting peacefully.

The interviewer seems like some ass hat psychoanalyst and completely misses the point. Syd is wonderful.

Do you have part 2 of this? I need it!!!!

Good for you for choosing what works for you, and for not falling in line with what your culture is telling you to do. Do it when/if it feels right to you, not when/if anyone or anything tells you to. It's got nothing to do with being pure or saintly. It's got to do with your free will and indivi...

"Do not become an alcoholic."

Good advice.

Saw her last night. She was amazing and David was shredding. Just awesome.

Has anyone experienced their onset of DP or DR as a kind of super intense but hard-to-pin-down feeling of despair and/or hopelessness that is utterly frightening? I'm curious to know. Thanks.

Hi Harris,

I think a lot of what you outline here is really accurate. I guess I would just add that things like healing from emotional abuse, detaching from a family system and feeling emotions...all these things can take a long, long, long time to achieve. When you consider that the dynamics at...

I've been dealing with hideous nightmare every day since 2008. Been in therapy for 3.5 years and I still have it.

It gets worse around family and intimate situations, which obviously is a huge clue about its source, but getting to the root of it is like peeling away a million layers of an uncon...

So, when VY closes, how is the gap in energy going to be filled? Hyrdo Quebec, hyrdo fracking and coal-fired plants in West Virginia that get the coal from slicing off the tops of mountains - all a million times worse for the environment than nuke. There has NEVER been a plan presented that detai...
