In my case, at this very moment, I'm going through antidepressant withdrawal and have random crying spells. Sure, depression might not be mediated by serotonin, but these drugs have an effect on mood. It might be that there's a di

In a similar way, I cannot think while I speak. I know; it sounds like something that can be said as a joke. But it's no joke. Somehow, it's like those two systems use the same resources in my brain. Thinking and typing or writing

> coconut oil, olive oil That's what I would use if I was going to fry myself in the sun, just from the sound of it. Is it safe to use?
