If they do not release a line of clothes under her name called "North by North West," it will be the world's most shameful missed opportunity.

So perfectly put, I could cry. No one except other people who carry the albatross of depression get it. Despite having "everything," the weight of depression is so heavy that all you want to do is put it down.

Sigh. I don't. My dog goes to doggy daycare (she's high maintenace).

I don't think that she is lying, but whoever suspended her or found her unchaste was not acting in the eyes of the church. On the mormon website it says the following regarding abuse:

I imagine the Jezebel staff fighting over the issue like toddlers. Mine no mine no MINE no MOMMY!

Thank you so much for saying this. As someone who resides in Marin and lived with someone very active in the recovery community I am horrified by the invasion of privacy going on here. That goes for ANY one in an AA meeting ANYwhere (Sorry NA, I know you too well). I felt heartsick seeing the images and ghastly…

I have a sick feeling that I'm not going to find someone who can write a love letter like that, from online dating.

A lot of people don't understand mental illness in general. It enrages me to hear people say that suicide is "cowardly". Williams and people like him deserve our sympathy and understanding and respect, not condemnation. If people really gave a shit, instead of calling Robin Williams a coward, try actually fucking…

I had a choir director who repeatedly told members of the choir that they were not part of a democracy. Meaning, he was willing to listen to feedback but ultimately it was his creative vision and his responsibility and he was going to do what he felt would best serve the music. Period.

For the past year my boyfriend has worked at an organization dominated by women (literally there are about a dozen guys and several hundred women). He is constantly being eye-fucked in the hallway or cat-called from a hidden car in the parking lot or asked about ("Ohh, he's hot, is he single because I will be all over…

Frightened Rabbit should be mandatory listening for understanding depression. Scott Hutchison provides some of the best understanding of the wide range of emotions that come with depression. And understanding the weight and gravity of it.

I agree with this unpopular opinion. I'm gay, so I personally prefer to read books with gay characters, but I ready don't care if an author chooses not to include any. It is their book and they can create whatever characters they want. There are many, many books that do include gay characters, so it is not like we…

I've said it before, I'll say it again. She's insufferable. Honestly, give me Goopy over her any fucking day.

Eh, for a writer who is obsessed with basing his fantasy story on historical events and details, he loves to to show us lesbian-but-not-really sex, yet he barely acknowledges Renley/Loras' relationship. I mean, he takes the effort to create a character like Victorian in the fourth book because he feels he hasn't quite…

Amen. I was talking to someone today about his death, and she said "It's so crazy—he had everything." As if a person who supposedly 'has it all' couldn't possibly suffer from crippling depression. As if someone with depression can somehow decide to be happy and ignore their suicidal thoughts.

He's a fiction writer.

People still stupidly assume depression is more of a bad mood than a mental disorder. There's brain chemistry behind depression and it can completely mess you up. Then there are people that think that those with wealth and success can't have depression. Depression is indiscriminate towards people of money and fame. I…
