This isn’t “raging.” This is having no idea how to get drunk like a responsible adult. God damn. Regulate yourself

I always liked the Weeknd by default because I like his music, but dating an 18 year old at his age is just yuck. We were born in the same year and I can’t imagine dating someone younger than 21/22. Also, Ariana Grande.. puke

A couple tweets were kinda funny, but he lost me at “puked on his textbooks.” Immature much? I’d think a grown man could come up with some better material.

Aha, gotcha. Sorry, I’m incredibly sleep deprived! I’m Middle Eastern and identify as a POC... I just feel like using the word “race” undermines us a bit because of the cocky assholes who will pull the “Middle Easterners are white” card. I’m sure a lot of it is my own internalized crap/ that I’m on the defense about…

Yes, race is socially constructed. My basis is growing up Middle Eastern in the US, so have a seat.

Actually most of the post-Paris attacks on Muslims I’ve read about have been on women in hijabs

This is very beside the point.... but, dude, your race is Caucasian. Ethnicity would’ve been a better word choice. I’m all the way for Middle Easterners identifying as POC or however the fuck they want (a lot id as “white”), but we’re such a weirdly marginalized group that I feel like correct terminology is important.

I still hate the story about the bitch who got sangria spilled on her because of the mousy-ass mother. What kind of owner (and mother) not only NOT kicks out the monster who just assaulted her waitress/child but appeases them? So what if she had a knife? That doesn’t make her less of a wimp and a bad owner/mother.…

This got me ridiculously excited. I’m a mushroom freak and a pescetarian (I don’t eat meat because I’m not a fan of it, not because of any moral aversion). Ever since I was little, my mom has made beef stroganoff from a recipe from one of those old women’s (Women’s Day maybe?) cookbooks. She makes it with rice and…

Thanks! Your psychiatrist sounds awesome. Orgasm death is another one of those side effects I feel like gets brushed off. I had zero sex drive in my formative years in high school when I took Prozac and I just thought I wasn’t a very lustful person- ha! Once I went off it, I became a fiend. It took me awhile to make…

Same! It made me tempted to get a beauty box. I really dig stuff like that, and I feel like it’s a rarity to get unbiased reviews from down-to-earth people.

I appreciate all perspectives for sure. It’s not a decision to take lightly in any case, so thank you for sharing your experience:)

That is weird! I feel the same way about weight gain (and to a certain extent, weight loss and bodily changes in general). My self esteem goes way way down when I’m depressed, especially with my tendency to obsess and ruminate. Healthwise, gaining weight would do me no favors either. I already worry that I’ve…

Thank you for the support! I’m glad you’re doing better nowadays:) No, I really appreciate you telling me your story! I know everyone is unique and may experience Paxil differently and yada yada, but I’m really not willing to take a risk on the side effects I’ve read about.

This psychiatrist asked me about my past…

What the fucking fuck?! Are you kidding? That’s one of the stupidest reasons I could conceive. Fuck that guy. Also, his head sucks

Mine too. It’s one of the few things that can make me laugh lately.

Urrgh, I have no idea why she prescribed this particular med instead of Wellbutrin or Celexa. I’m in an adjustment disorder situation where I’m physically separated from my friends and family and I’m feeling really down and constantly angry. I’m not even planning on being on this sucker long term... I just need…

Oh yeah, I agree. I meant the motivation behind all these stupid changes. What’s the new model?

Is it political? I have no idea what’s going on with this except my favorite stuff is going away. I was pretty much done with Jez and then millihelen came in and made me happy. And I’m not a Pinkham fan, but BCO Mondays had become canon.

Add that to an issue with a stupid class and then a therapy session where I was…

What a monster! I’m glad things worked out for you.
