Thanks. I am also pregnant, so it's been quite a ride, to say the least! Sometimes I feel like I bought a ticket to crazy-town. The mood swings suck, but mostly just wish I could get rid of the gnawing anxiety and irritability.

I'm on month 9 of tapering off SSRIs (escitalopram) and it is certainly not fun. Coming off Wellbutrin was relatively easy, but getting off Celexa has been really tough. But, I'm on the home stretch now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Congrats on kicking ADs and finding your happy place! It's a huge…

Right. I'm in sales (unfortunately - it's not my chosen career, but it's one of the few jobs available in my field in this small town), so the only consequence is that eventually upper management will see my boss' game for what it is and he'll get fired. Which would be just fine by me!

I've had to learn to just care less, which sucks. Prior to my current job, I had a lot of jobs where caring was part of the workplace culture, and the norm. But I now work in an environment where the boss' toxic management style has created a culture wherein everyone just phones it in and nobody goes over and above.…

That's good advice. I think the "just say 'ok,' roll your eyes, and continue doing you" thing is so valuable. My current manager is, in two words, a shady slimeball, and sometimes the things he asks me to do really rub me the wrong way, e.g. artifically inflating budget numbers because he thinks the smoke and mirrors…

Thank you for articulating exactly what I was thinking. WTF was that bullshit comment? Because as soon as one pops out a kid, they cease to be a sexual being? Gawd!

I think I just barfed in my mouth a little...

Jan 23rd for me. And until you mentioned it, I hadn't even considered all the guilt-free holiday indulgences! Yesssss!!

I am also due in January 2015 and have the same feelings as you regarding birth/parenting/breastfeeding. :-)

He's a member of the band Fun, and also Lena Dunham's boyfriend.

I am officially jacking the term "sleeper-wither," and will begin referring to my fiancé as "Ceiling Cat sleeper-wither." I hate the term "fiancé." "Boyfriend" is ridiculous for someone in their late 30s, "husband-to-be" is just awkward, "partner" sounds pretentiously vague, and "lover" makes me think of this SNL…

OMG he farts?!? Loudly and obviously in a shared workspace? Are you fucking kidding me?!? That is soooo nasty!!

Fuck yeah, that sounds fantastic!!

Off-topic, but are these two officially separated/divorced now? I feel like I haven't seen any C-Stod items for months in any of the daily gossip I read online, and last I recall they were separating?

This is my current plan. I'm engaged (2nd marriage) and 3 months pregnant... I wanna drink and get silly at my wedding, dammit!

I'll confess I'm one of those judgy jerks who side-eyes cash bars, but having a limited number of drink tix and/or a couple of bottles of wine per table seems like a really reasonable alternative. Not everyone can afford a free-for-all open bar at their wedding.

Exactly. It's on said kids' parents to (hopefully) stay sober enough to manage their kids at the wedding. Having alcohol available shouldn't automatically render a wedding kid-unfriendly.

YES. There are not enough stars in the world for this comment.

OMG that sounds insufferably BORING. Not that everyone needs to drink to have a good time, but at least giving guests the option of drinking, even if the couple aren't drinkers, should kinda be a given. My personal philosophy with weddings: feed me well and booze me well, and I'm happy.

Moms get so weird about random wedding stuff. There's always something - either the flowers, the guest list, bridesmaid dresses, whatever. Weddings seem to really bring out the mom neuroses.
