One of the worst things about treatment resistant depression is the insistence that “you just have to find the right med cocktail!” when you’re taking more pills than your 90-year-old grandmother, have side effects that make you even more depressed and that no doctor gives a shit about, your own therapist says she…

It’s on the side effects for Wellbutrin for sure - there may be others.

Some anti-depressants can cause fluid retention: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/antidepressants/art-20049305

I heard an interview with Wynonna Judd (I think?) on Fresh Air describing her own life struggles. She said something that sounds so simple but profoundly struck me which was: I try not to compare myself to other people, because I tend to come out on the losing end.

Oh, man. That totally works if you read it in Rust Cohle’s voice. Excellent.

Jesus Christ, this is what happens when you become too rich for people to tell you that you’re a tedious asshole.

I don’t get that—surely I wasn’t the only 4 year old that knew death occurs. I mean, I get that I didn’t understand it like I do now, as a 41 year old, but still! That turtle I found in the backyard was totally dead. Four year olds can understand “So and So isn’t here anymore.”

He forgot about all sorts of things. I’m fine with anyone being as feminine as they feel they need to be to be happy, there’s nothing wrong with being feminine, but you can’t just distill “how women feel” into “vulnerable because they get penetrated.”

Tom Ford does not seem like a bright person. But at least he’s going to die some day.

This may get me flamed but seriously, I do get tired of how some gay men exaggerate the feminine in a way that feels a bit like appropriation.

Oh right. Because it’s being attracted to men that makes a woman a woman.

It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in.

That actually made my heart hurt. what kind of a concept is “tacky” to teach a four year old? he’s going to preschool not Royal Ascot.

Yeah but it’s a gay man, so he knows.

The shoe one was even worse. Christ, let the kid wear the dinosaur shoes.

Thank goodness, a man is here to tell men how women feel.

Let the kid wear the dinosaur shoes outside FFS. You just said life is too short.

“Ford says his 4-year-old son Jack is “so happy” because he hasn’t learned “the secret.” And that secret, he says, “is that he’s going to die.”

are you telling me I stuck all that stuff up my bum for nothing?

Damnit.

“I like flowers. They’re beautiful. I think, ‘Well, they’re going to be dead in three or four days, but my God, aren’t they beautiful now?’ ” He leans back and exhales. “Everything’s so transient,” he says. “Everything dies.”
