I know these feelings. I've always been overweight, and I suppose the bullshit BMI would say I'm obese now. In middle school sometimes I'd eat lunch in the bathroom stall because I felt so self-conscious. I'd compare myself to my thin, classically pretty cousins and die to have clothes look on me like they did on…

I dunno, I see some ragging on the tatts but I think they're kind of cool and sailor-esque. In fact, I thought this was from some sort of nautical-themed shoot, what with the beard and tattoos and bare, hairy chest.

"Oh, they went with birthing a chicken on the toilet"

Kim and her ass look gorge. Still, what is UP with that vomit-nude swimsuit color?! It's not a close enough match to make it look like she's naked, which isn't the point anyway. Put that woman in turquoise or something! Against her skin and the red boat it would've been lovely.

Deeeeeefinitely thought this was Jack Nicholson...

Stunning. I grew up with Eva's version of the song, sang it a few events. Only wishing I didn't have roommates so I could belt (and cry) as loud as a good listen of it calls for.

No worries at all! At the top of the comment section, right after below the posted article, there is a tab for "All Replies". Click on that and you'll see everyone's posts, not just mine. And then, to the right of "All Replies" you'll see a grey talk bubble labeled "Discuss". Click on that and you can start your own…

This is a very worthwhile first-time post! I'm afraid that it's embedded in my thread though, you should get it out there to main thread so the group can jump on this. :)

I have actually started telling people about my crying issue. After college I moved to the big city and so have had to develop a whole new social circle. So my closest friends here are still fairly new in my life and I've started telling them "Hey, if I cry, it's generally not a big deal. It's just how I manifest…

Oh what a sweet, tender heart your son seems like. So good of you to tell him to keep feeling the feelings and that crying isn't wrong. And he's got you looking ahead for him already — lucky kid!

Thank you, I know it! So lucky. She'd move mountains for me, and knows just what to say most of the time. She was born to be a mother, really.

This is exactly me! Ugh, I hate that I can't just focus my anger in conversations like those and succinctly make my point and take back some of that power. Instead I'm afraid I come across like a mess who can't hold it together (I'm being a bit hard on myself here, but you get it). But I agree the writing thing can…

I get that approach. It's actually one of the reasons I call my Mom in these situations. She's not harsh, but she has this great, no-nonsense way of telling me to calm down. "Hey now, this is not that big a deal. You are fine. What's your plan?" And so on. But calling her is hard to do when I'm the middle of an…

Thanks for the suggestion! (And that title is hilarious....) Will def take a look!

I've realized I'm one of those people who wears my emotions on my sleeve. I always knew I was easy to laugh and easy to cry, but I'm just putting two and two together on this now. Part of me likes that I'm straightforward with my feelings and I don't want to be someone who plays games or bottles things up (not that…

Excellent point.

It 'tis! Now you're my favorite person of that day.

I want that cat, no lie.

Once again poor, weird, underdeveloped Winnie the Bish — the New Girl character who actually wants to be a cop — gets left in the dust.

You are absolutely right on. Mental health organizations and associations prefer the language have also (at least recently) preferred the language "died by suicide". Changing the way we frame it will help de-stigmatize it.
