I had a therapist once that the county was paying for me to see that was so unprofessional. She always had her phone out and would text during our session. One day was her birthday, and she’d get onto her computer and say ‘aww, another birthday notification.’ Then one day she complained about her job and said she…

Didn’t know there was a Freeway 2 but I love the first one. Reese used to be a really incredible actress who actually took on risky and daring roles or even just plain interesting ones. I discovered Freeway, by the way, in a book about the mythos of Red Riding Hood!

Thank goodness I’m in the grays. This article, while well-written is triggering as fuck. I didn’t have a toxic mom. This article isn’t for me, but it might be about me. See, I’m a single mom diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I’m on meds and in therapy and doing okay. I’m relatively stable. But I have my…

My ex once sent a card to his crappy mom that said, “Thanks. You’ve been like a mom to me.” I think it was meant for an aunt? Either way, his mom was thrilled with it not realizing the hilarious insult he was sending.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the amount of SNAP benefits vary by state?

Really? You were confused by something called FOOD assistance not allowing you to purchase things that weren't consumable?

Not for the disorder itself, but many of the symptoms can be effectively managed with a combination of meds and therapy. Especially dialetical behavioral.

As someone with bpd, I can tell you that saying your ex was "legit, certifiably crazy" is rude and offensive.

Co-signed! I also have BPD and I have found that almost any mention of the disorder in public arenas (movies/tv/books... heck even in comment sections on websites like this) its either met with flippancy or scorn or a little of both. It really triggers me to even come across a character who supposedly has BPD or when…

*HUGS* I had the exact same scary thoughts with my son. I loved him to pieces but I had those intrusive thoughts that wouldn't go away and I was terrified if I told someone they'd say I was a danger to him and take him away. I was very lucky that his pediatrician was awesome and asked me at every visit how I was…

Interesting. I didn't give a flying fuck what some random internet dude thought, but thanks for your opinion! Also, way to go about putting me in my place! Bravo! You really told me off! Whatever would I have done if some asshole hadn't told me where I was going wrong?!

But presumably you had your whole-life time previous to this to spend holidays with your mother and as a child.

Oooh! Me too! I adored the Last Vampire books and they inspired me a lot in how I started viewing religion and spirtuality. I never read any other Christopher Pike books because I wasn't into horror but TLV series are still some of my favorite books ever.

I agree. I just watched SLP and OMG.... as someone living with a mental illness that makes me seem insane to "normal" people - she was perfect! I felt like she really was Tiffany - a woman living with mental health issues not just JLaw the actress.

Winona's character was a Borderline Personality Disorder patient.

Pro-abortion is incorrect terminology. Pro-choice is the accurate term for the vast majority of articles on Jezebel. Also, being a feminist and/or liberal doesn't mean you can't be personally pro-life. What it does mean, however, if you subscribe to the feminist/liberal label is that pro-choice would be the political…

I just googled it and Urban Dictionary's definition came up. I'd never heard of it used like this, but I don't doubt that it has been. The only meaning I'd ever known was boyfriend/girlfriend. Boo as a racist term.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that even though the age of consent is 16, it is commonly tagged on with a 4 year maximum age difference. Is this not a thing? I could have sworn it was. So 60 year old men with 16 year old girls could still be illegal?

My ex (who was my ex at the time too) had come over to my place to watch a marathon of Futurama. He and I still got along great but he was definitely angling to get me back. I kept telling him we were just friends now and that's that.

Agreed. My ex-boyfriend wasn't into getting head. And I love to give it and am very talented at it but I respected him enough to never ask after the first time. If he's uncomfortable with ANY sex act, as his partner and a goddamn decent human being its my duty to respect that.
