Odin, Vili, and Vé killed the giant Ymir.
When Ymir fell, there issued from his wounds such a
flood of blood, that all the frost ogres were drowned,
except for the giant Bergelmir who escaped with his
wife by climbing onto a lur [a hollowed-out tree trunk
that could serve either as a boat or a coffin]. From
them spring the families of frost ogres.
The sons of Bor then carried Ymir to the middle of
Ginnungagap and made the world from him. From his
blood they made the sea and the lakes; from his flesh
the earth; from his hair the trees; and from his bones
the mountains. They made rocks and pebbles from
his teeth and jaws and those bones that were broken.
Maggots appeared in Ymir's flesh and came to life. By
the decree of the gods they acquired human
understanding and the appearance of men, although
they lived in the earth and in rocks.
From Ymir's skull the sons of Bor made the sky and
set it over the earth with its four sides. Under each
corner they put a dwarf, whose names are East,
West, North, and South.
The sons of Bor flung Ymir's brains into the air, and
they became the clouds.
Then they took the sparks and burning embers that
were flying about after they had been blown out of
Muspell, and placed them in the midst of
Ginnungagap to give light to heaven above and earth
beneath. To the stars they gave appointed places and
paths.
The earth was surrounded by a deep sea. The sons of
Bor gave lands near the sea to the families of giants
for their settlements.
To protect themselves from the hostile giants, the
sons of Bor built for themselves an inland stonghold,
using Ymir's eyebrows. This stonghold they named
Midgard. [...]

Going to a therapist can help you to be clearer with yourself and with others about what's bothering you. But I don't think it really changes how you feel.
To do that, I would recommend doing mental exercises. For example, if you're angry at your...
Hi. I have nothing against therapists and many of my friends have had alot of success with them. Me personally though, not really.

Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...

I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
