Get your fiance to go halvsies on an IUD!

Men are such idiots. Seriously? You weren't going to be attracted to him?

WHY ARE MEN SUCH FUCKING BABIES!??? You just pushed a baby out of your fucking vadge. He can get the snip snip. My dad did this voluntarily. Why don't more men.

If you just exercised MORE and ate better, you could TOTES cure your depression. Depression is just for lazy fatties, doncha know?

But here's the thing: When you have well-managed bipolar with fairly minor symptoms, being on meds is not a big deal and I don't ever feel the need to go off them. It really isn't that hard to manage minor cases of bipolar and there is very little possibility that I am going to some dramatic extreme like on Law and

How about some appreciation for those of us with bipolar who have thankfully more mild symptoms and who work tirelessly with a therapist/psychiatrist/ourselves to diligently manage our mental health and you don't even notice?

I was on antidepressants for years and they never really worked. I started with a new therapist two years ago and she suggested I go to the psychiatrist and get re-medicated. I went to an awesome psychiatrist. He put me on new meds and about six months later, I found the right combo and my life was fucking changed.

Hey! People ALWAYS give me shit about why I don't have a smart phone as if there is no conceivable reason I wouldn't have one. I am happy to have an additional reason beyond cost.

...and this is why I don't have a smartphone, people.

The DH, DS, etc are obnoxious times a bazillion.

I think people have problems with asexuality because they tend to imagine themselves in a sexless relationship with an asexual who didn't disclose. I tend to agree with Dan Savage on the point that the partner who has the lower sex drive has the control in the relationship and often makes the partner with the higher

I owed the state of Massachusetts $250 this year. I haven't lived or worked in Mass since 2005. Taxachusetts for life!

...or I feel super pathetic for having been online for so long. I sort of judge dudes who have been on for a long time. What is wrong with them? Why haven't they met someone?

My OKC inbox was almost full so I went and deleted a bunch of messages. It was really, really depressing to see all the dudes who I had messaged/met/dated who had deactivated. Not all of them have met people obviously, but it still feels sad.

Or it implies that my friends somehow "deserved" to meet someone because they had done all the ground work that I haven't done yet. But I have. Not cool.

It isn't the anecdata—it's the insistence that I am doing it wrong and the only way to "succeed" is to do it their way. I am cool with hearing their experiences. I just want them to realize that didn't do something "right" and I am not doing something "wrong." Giving personal advice is fine. I like to hear other

When I am not looking, no one finds me. When I am looking, no one finds me. There is no solution. Hah.

But even though they have little experience, they have boyfriends and THUS they are an expert. And they can pity me...or something. Or call me a de facto slut (or insinuate my sluttiness is why I am single) because **no judgment—everyone can make their own choices** she just can't have casual sex.

I sometimes share my bad dates with people in the office. And instead of laughing and saying, "Aw GwaPE! You're awesome and will meet someone soon" they feel the need to give advice. Of course said advice is only reflective of their experience. Having a boyfriend doesn't make you an expert!
