I know why I loved this episode and it's because: Asylum! Oh, how I miss that almost competent season. And that's also mostly why I felt those once familiar tears welling up, which happened a lot during that season. It wasn't perfect, but it had something real to it, especially with the main characters. Pre-Pazuzzu…

?uestlove, you are not in the house.

I like him as an actor and I like his face (one of those things you don't consciously choose). I would like to know how he looks exactly the damn same as he did when he was in Ghost 24 years ago …

As opposed to the nuns being the delicious tamales then, which is good, and who I thought you were describing the first few seconds after I read your post. But even if you had been, whatever. We all like what we like, and old nuns can fall into the spectrum too, why shouldn't they?

It's from the Yiddish! Which is the best, most fun language to have become incorporated into English I know of. Goy schmoy, I try to use it every chance I get.

Yeah! Door-holding shouldn't discriminate (Didn't know it was a Midwestern thing either, but both my parents are from Michigan- though not sure about your stance on, "MI: True Midwest or Really More Great Lakes Region?"). I'm an able-bodied GIRL in my 20's and I will stand, propping the door of that Old Navy open, for…

We're wayyyy down at the bottom of the page and you're one of the most compelling comments to me. And this is one of your first comments- you've already figured it out faster than I did (I tried too hard to be cool/smart/hard/funny when I first started due to intimidation).

My ex who was finally overcome by his demons, used to feel better when he was sick or hurt because he actually had a real reason to feel bad. Which is probably why, by the same token, I'm often relieved when I have serious thing to worry about, rather than obsessively worrying about bullshit my mind pulls out of its…

Yeah … religious people are gross a lot, actually. Many seem to really think that feeling sad and 'hopeless' is like some moral failing/lack of faith thing and if you just did the right thing by turning to Jesus, you would think of something other than yourself and find peace in God's love, etc. I find that there's a…

The knife one is scarily common to me, esp. when I unload the dishwasher, and since being diagnosed OCD, I chalked it up to falling under the umbrella of "obsessive thoughts". I also have them about anything fragile or valuable I don't want to lose- dropping a mirror I'm cleaning on the hard floor, my phone flying out…

I did that too. I just recently made the decision to start going back and I think it was right. It seems- even just from people on this page- that it's a common thing, for people to quit therapy or go intermittently. It probably goes along with the struggle- it caused me anxiety to make the effort and to imagine that…

I think you may be right. The average public perception of any mental illness is pretty damn insensitive and uneducated- thinking depressed people should "snap out of it", etc.- but, yeah. People with OCD are portrayed as socially awkward weirdos you want to get away from you. Or, also like every mental illness, it's…

It's a small comfort to me to have seen another commenter here mention they're dealing with OCD, so maybe it will be to you if I tell you I am too. I understand the isolation, withdrawal, and anxiety. Unlike you, I know I haven't ever suffered clinical depression so I won't try to imagine I can relate to that, but…

Wow, yeah. "I'm scared of feeling okay," was the one I heard from the person close to me who was dealing with it. Or in my case (different issues … you're all being forthright so I will too- OCD), the thought was, "I'm not sure how to be a "normal" person again." I think this really shows that constant mental…

I think it's good that it looks like discussions are starting to happen about how depression is more than just sadness. It's timely for me as well, because on Sat. I went to a funeral for a 50-something lawyer contemporary of my dad, step-father of a girl I grew up with, and husband of a well-known judge in my…

Since we're discussing the part of the world the OP referred to being from, your typo is ironically, but sadly, relevant (even more sad is that it I can't actually think of a part of the world where it's not at least somewhat accurate). -Quick, lemme distract us before I suck ALL the air out of the room with my…

I didn't directly connect Joe's dad to IBM (though that makes a lot of sense), I just thought he was probably some super-rich, East Coast WASP big name that has a lot of business influence, and maybe pulled some strings to get Joe the job at IBM. It could still be that, but the IBM connection does make more sense. It…

I love her haircut. I don't often wish anymore that I had straight instead of curly hair (as a teen: on a daily basis) but haircuts like that are what make me wish it. You can't do that cut with curls and not look ridiculous, and if you straighten it you lose that effortless, boyish cool that her hair has. There are…

It also had a scene of a Mossad agent taking a dump basically on camera, with sound of effects and everything. No, I'm not into that! But it was highly memorable and I think it was probably a first for a basic cable.

Yeah, or you're probably just a supercilious snob. Let's go with that one.
