THEY EAT WHAT ON PIZZA?! 5 Wacky Pizza Trends From Around the World
3. Haggis Pizza (Scotland ) — Pizza may be the only semi-enjoyable way to eat haggis: a mix of sheep or calf offal, oatmeal, suet, and seasonings that are boiled in an animal’s stomach. Last year, Papa John’s got in on the action when it released a limited-edition haggis pizza in honor of a Scottish poet, Robert Burns. 4. Mockba Pizza (Russia) — This local pie comes topped with four kinds of fish (sardines, tuna, mackerel, and salmon), onions, herbs, and occasionally fish eggs. Most troubling of all, it’s served cold! 5. Chickpea Pancake Pizza (Argentina) — In Buenos Aires, locals top their super-cheesy pizza slices with fainá — chickpea pancakes cooked separately from the pies and balanced on top of each slice. Keep these pizzas in mind when planning your next international vacation! They might be tastier than they sound, and if not, they’ll still make great Instagram fodder. As actor Cole Sprouse once tweeted, “You're losing followers because you're not relatable enough. Try mentioning that you eat pizza. If that doesn't work, play the ukulele.”

UNDERSTANDING BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
When someone suspects their spouse is suffering from a serious personality disorder and starts researching the matter, it’s easy to get confused with all of the information available. What’s especially confusing is the overlap in the symptoms of various mental illnesses. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose someone, but if you’ve lived with someone for a long time, you're likely to know more about your spouse than any professional. What is borderline personality disorder? Borderline personality disorder is a mental health disorder that makes the individual unstable and affects their relationships with others. Some traits of borderline personality disorder include: • An intense fear of abandonment, even going to extreme measures to avoid real or imagined separation or rejection • A pattern of unstable, intense relationships, such as idealizing someone one moment and then suddenly believing the person doesn’t care enough or is cruel • Rapid changes in self-identity and self-image, shifting goals and values, and seeing yourself as bad or as if you don’t exist at all • Periods of stress-related paranoia and loss of contact with reality, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours
• Impulsive and risky behavior, such as gambling, reckless driving, unsafe sex, spending sprees, binge eating or drug abuse, or sabotaging success by suddenly quitting a good job or ending a positive relationship • Suicidal threats, behavior, or self-injury, often in response to fear of separation or rejection • Wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days, which can include intense happiness, irritability, shame, or anxiety • Ongoing feelings of emptiness • Inappropriate, intense anger, such as frequently losing your temper, being sarcastic or bitter, or having physical fights With borderline personality disorder, interpersonal conflicts with other people and the outside world most often trigger the shift. These shifts tend to be shorter, lasting minutes, hours, or days, but often no more than that.
