I'm just going to copy and paste what I wrote to the person on the Gawker thread because I'm on new meds and exhausted.

That's so irresponsible! I have a toy fox terrier/papillon mix who is very protective and not good around other dogs and a lot of people (we're working on it - I socialized him SO MUCH when he was a puppy, I don't understand his fear, but at least I know enough to tell people not to pet him or approach him too fast).…

I always second guess if I'm just weak. I have chronic pain as well, and for the longest time I was afraid that I was really just lazy, or weak, or that it was all in my head. Mix that with depression and you get a lot of self deprecating thoughts.

Thank you for coming out of lurking to comment to me. I'm so glad to hear that your brother is still here today and doing so much better.

Ah busses are the worst for getting anywhere fast.

Everyone starts off grey. I believe you have to have Jezebel follow you to become a consistently black poster. However, recommendations and comments from consistently black posters can make your comments black for that thread.

Thank you so much for sharing. Reading "antidepressants worked for me" stories are my version of reading romance novels or fairy tales.

Thank you for sharing this! I had an awful experience with Zoloft, and was on a very high dosage of Celexa for several years - which basically turned me into an emotionless zombie. I've always had chronic depression with bouts of severe depression, but lately I've been experiencing instances of suicidal ideation (no…

Do you have a long commute? Can you come home on your lunch break?

I think I remember hearing that if you have HSV1 you may actually have a bit of a resistance to HSV2 (and vice versa). I don't know how accurate that is though, and I wouldn't exactly try my luck.

I have the sads as well. I think I'm going to watch a movie (probably a Hayao Miyazaki one since I recommended him to someone else) and make my puppy snuggle with me since my boyfriend is playing video games. I wish I could eat pizza and drink milkshakes or something, but I have a toothache on top of my sads :(

I second Saved! and add Drop Dead Fred, The Bachelorette, Crazy/Beautiful, and all of the Hayao Miyazaki movies in the world (especially Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and My Neighbor Totoro.)

I've had awful experienced with antidepressants in the past. For a long, long time I was adamant about not being on them. Recently though, I've been suffering from severe depression to the point where I have a hard time leaving the house. My doctor prescribed me generic Welbutrin as an antidepressant, as well as to…

The vegetable based dye in a white conditioner is a good idea. Also wash and rinse in colder water, as hot water tends to suck the color out. Some colors last longer than others. My pink/red hair faded fast, but my purple hair held on nicely.

Omg do it. Do it and sell it on Etsy. And then let me know so can buy it.

I don't know why but this made me actually laugh-out-loud.

Just going to echo what I suspect is many other comments going "all the damn time".

I don't know about the sexual harassment aspect of it - but I believe I read somewhere that the courts decided that because the plaintiff was white and therefore the same race as Paula Deen she was unable to claim discrimination based on what happened to other people. Someone who was black and experienced that…

Me too :(

Thank you! I have a week before I have to go to classes, so maybe if I start now I can be greasy before having to go out into the world. (And if not, there are always bandannas.)
