We anxiety sufferers are good at covering up how we’re really feeling. You are not alone.

My anxiety doesn’t mean I can’t be a good parent. In fact, it makes me a better one.

As a person who writes about relationships for a living, I might be one of the people least in need of all this well-meaning advice, which usually amounts to clichés and can even veer into the territory of outright insults. What I need – what most of us need – is for people to hear me, and to trust me.

This is your brain on love. And it’s scary.

Clutter is a distraction, causing you to lose focus and get sidetracked, and it also signals your brain to feel that your work is never done.

Is it better to be alone than to be in a miserable relationship?

Go ahead. Give in to the misery.

The only thing worse than being in a bad mood, is dealing with someone else’s bad mood.

Reading in bed together, while it might not be a major milestone — like marriage or having children — truly is a significant event in a relationship.

A relationship with a narcissist may start out with butterflies and fireworks...But don’t be fooled: it’s not about you. It’s about them.
