I was diagnosed with depression last year and started taking lexipro. I can’t believe I suffered for so long unnecessarily. I read my diary entries from childhood and wonder why no one cottoned on to how obviously depressed I was. Took me 20 years to finally talk to a doctor about it. It’s been the most stable year of…

Yes, because nobody had depression in the 80's, 70's, or 60's. (/sarcasm)

So back in the 80's - and, essentially, even through today - that is what happens. My mom worked 2 jobs and the only reason I ended up in counseling is because the school literally forced me into it - but the effect on my mother was enough to push her away farther and farther. I’m now 40 and havent spoken to her in 4…

I suffered from multiple severe depression episodes when I was a teen - and it wasn’t like they couldn’t have seen it coming from my ‘anger issues’ around 7-8 yrs.

I start crying every time I think about these kids.

These motherfuckers need a goddamn hobby. Folks just want to live their lives without some nosey puritans getting up their asses. The next time some rightwing blow hard tries to give me a “small government” argument I’m going to take a dump in their lap.

Completely off topic but the name “Dr. Ventress” reminded me that I want an Asajj Ventress Star Wars movie, or at least her appearance in one. So let it be written, so let it be done, Mouse.

But this study and article are not about excessive drinking? It’s literally about drinking in moderation, something that alcoholics explicitly do not do.

Or generally healthy people are able to keep drinking moderately well into old age? Either way I plan on enjoying a glass of wine with dinner for as long as possible.

yes

Okay what’s with the tights pulled over the skates thing? Do they think it elongates their legs? Because it doesn’t, it looks like they have massive cankles. Otherwise, brava.

Back when I was young and cool (I am now old and boring), I worked the door of the biggest and best club in Chicago. Think of Chicago winters and what they can be like. In the era of the shield shirt (remember those?), we consistently saw all the women in line freezing because they were too cheap to wear their coat…

I grew up with a narcissistic mother. I discovered this show shortly after my breakthrough in therapy, finally dealing with an abusive childhood. I’m obsessed with it because it’s crazy and hilarious, but the show is super heartwarming and I love Linda. She’s not perfect - the writers have really written great 3D…

I’m the executive assistant to the owner of the company I work for, I don’t feel like I’m a servant, and I’m sure Jennifer’s assistant doesn’t feel that way either. Holding a coat for someone doesn’t make you less than that person.

You knew it was coming!

“Poor people would be so much prettier if they smiled more”

I just don’t....these are kids. Kids! Kids who were fucking traumatized pretty severely only a week ago and you have “grown-ups” going after them all in the name of scoring political points.

We are IRL being trolled. How is this apathy so prevalent and so acceptable? I really am having moments that make me doubt this is reality.
