I’ve seen you post this 3 times just on this article. Why are you so adamant that his alleged mental illness is the cause? I have bipolar type I with rapid cycling and psychosis. It’s the worst type. I’ve never behaved anything near Chris. Yes I’ve done dangerous things that I regret, and bipoar can make the worst…

Thank you. I have the worst type of bipolar disorder and I’m not an abusive prick. Yes bipolar disorder can exacerbate aspects of people’s personalities...like if you’re naturally violent then an episode can make your fuse shorter, but unless you are already like that, having bipolar disorder isn’t going to make you…

I’m totally aware of that. I was just pointing out that super tall/super thin people are an anomaly rather than the norm. A cousin of mine is like 5'7" and 85lbs. She can’t gain wait no matter what she tries, but she appears healthy and eats right (though probably more junk than she should as we all do). It’s just one…

Exactly. I’m a shorty so weighing less than 130 is fine for all 5 feet of me, but I’m constantly shocked that women a near foor taller than me (as most models are at least 7/8" taller than me) can weigh 90-100lbs and not have health issues. Like do they even have any muscle or fat at all? I used to weigh 100 in HS and…

Most victims aren’t in a contract tying them financially to their alleged abuser as an employer that keeps the alleged abuser in a position of power and in cotrol the victim’s career...yes Sony now says she can work with other producers, but that is a very recent change. I think that even if she didn’t work with Dr.…

That is terrible. Thank you for sharing. I wish there was more I could offer than internet empathy. Your mother hopefully recovered well enough to lead a full happy life. It is so important to share these stories. Thanks.

It could be because so few rapists ever actually get convicted. 2% of all rapists actually ever see jail time, rape kits sit for years, decades even before being processed, women are humiliated and have their sex lives examined in public during trails. The system is rigged against rape victims ever seeing justice,…

Real food is so good after a hospitalization. My husband used to bring me food and snacks for them to store with my stuff because I refused most of the hospital food. They started putting Ensure on my trays cause I didn’t eat during meals.

Exactly. I have bipolar type I with ralid cycling and psychosis. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences as a result, but at the same time I also am a very calm/self-contained person now that I’m medicated and going to recular therapy. I hate being associated to people just act like assholes because someone wrongly thinks…

This. I want to give you a dump truck full of stars.

Thanks for this. I’ve loathed reading so many instances of armchair diagnoses in the comments here on the MP, and this helps me feel like I’m not the only one who finds that it only adds to tbe stigma. I have 3 mental illnesses and a learning disability, and it sucks to feel stigmatized. I don’t think most people even…

Not in all cases, but yes in severe ones. I have type I with psychosis which caused a lot of delusions when I was not medicated.

But the real question is if their performance is Oscar-worthy... They shouldn’t get nominated just because no other governing board of an awards ceremony did, that wouldn’t be fair to the usual pool of slightly above mediocre white nominees...

The meds are a trip. I went near toxic on lithium twice. But I’ve also had symptoms since I was at least 8 when I first attempted suicide. My mom think the onset was closer to 5/6 from my description of the illness to her, a few meetings she’s been to, and her memory of me being a very “moody” young child.

The disorders have some similaritiesl in symptoms, but they come from different sources from my understanding. Bipolar is thought to be genetic and inherent wheras borderline comes from environmental factors combined with genetic predisposition. So for example your genetic “code” will have bipolar programmed in like…

From my knowledge, you actually can’t be diagnosed with both. It’s an either/or proposition. Source: I have bipolar 1 and I have 2 close friends with borderline, 1 of whom is a behaviorist.

Uh no. I have the severest form of bipolar disorder and his general shittiness/your stereotyoe is not characteristic of the illness, thanks. It’s possible for people just to be egotistical assholes, especially at the fame level of Kanye.

I just got my IBR approved and I’m a teacher and plan on being one for at least 10 years. I’m just glad I might actually be able to afford a house abd a car sooner rather than 20 years from now. My payment went from nearly $800/month to less than $50.

Truth, but isn’t odd that Gaga who is constantly in our faces with how artistic she is can’t seem to notice her portrait looks like a scratchy prison tattoo? If I had her money I would be going to the people who are constantly featured in Inked or have been known for their portrait work. This looks like it was done…

It’s so poorly done. Why do celebs get terrible tattoos when they can afford to hire the best artists?
