Add to that the fact that women are more likely to ask for help or ask questions when they need to....imho

I dunno, considering how Rian Johnson did that to J.J. Abram’s story, it doesn’t seem impossible that J.J. would do the same thing in return. It’d be obnoxious on both counts, but hey, if it happened once...

I don’t have a guess either way about Rey’s parents, but I’m pretty confident that Kylo Ren doesn’t actually know shit about anything, he was just fucking with her head to (try to) get her to do what he wants.

Ah, the bar...it’s gotten so low.

Oh my god, our president has never shopped in a god damn grocery store.

Or Jadyn, Tradyn, Radyn, Kalyn.......

NPR and ProPublica did a really great, long-term look into why this is happening. It’s deeply troubling.

I am ready. I have BEEN ready.

I am waiting eagerly for the day Melania snaps. If he weren’t the president, (a big, beautiful “if”) she could get fortunes with this evidence. I wonder how divorce proceedings work if one party is the president.

The hypocrisy on the part of the Republican party in looking the other way on this entire saga is just pitiful. And it probably won’t end any time soon. 

This woman is awesome! Love that she not only was able to keep her cool, but that she’s still standing up for the animal. It’s a great perspective.

That’s the scary thing (well, one of the scary things) about suicidal depression--if someone wants to hide it, it can be very very easy to do. If they don’t want you to know, you’re not gonna know.

You've gotta be real dumb to have your kids literally taken away from you for doing this shit, then immediately go back to doing this shit

How wow this guy sounds absolutely disgusting

You’re definitely not the only one. If you have someone who can help you get past that initial point, reach out to them--I was able to help my boyfriend scroll through therapists online and figure out who to email, what to say, etc. Sometimes it takes a village!

Did you read the article? That’s one of the points that she talks about: it’s hard even for the experts to know exactly where to draw the the line and how to categorize things. We’re still figuring it out. Keep in mind, just because it’s not a problem for most people doesn’t mean it’s not a real problem for some…

Talk to his parents (or your partner) and see if they’ve considered therapy for him. They can’t force him to go, I suppose, but they can get damn close. Clearly there’s something at the root that’s not getting taken care of, and therapy is going to be the best way to figure it out and help manage it. Good luck.

Be careful--just because it’s not a problem for you doesn’t mean it isn’t for someone else. (See: alcohol, junk food, sex, etc.)

These are REALLY good questions, and if you haven’t tried it out yet, consider therapy to answer them. Therapists are there to help you learn about yourself so that you can curb the habits that hurt you (or your loved ones) or just plain make you unhappy.

It’s really interesting to see in what weird ways it manifests: running so much and so hard that you’re harming yourself (as punishment), shopping for things you don’t want until you lose everything because of debt, etc.
