I’m just . . . really relieved that I do not know this person.

I feel very old. I have no idea what that is.

I’m one of those people who always thinks that, say, Paris Hilton is a secret Mensa member or Anna Nicole Smith was actually getting a PhD in anthropology and her whole act was a cultural experiment. So, you know, I’m probably being too hopeful here.

“Are you okay?” she asked me, as I wiped the tears from my face, fogging up my hipster, too cool for school Ray-Ban glasses.

That part infuriated me. I have an aunt with serious bipolar disorder and for her to so nonchalantly dismiss someone that is clearly suffering as a burden just.....I don’t even have words. She has no idea how painful it is for a family when someone has a serious illness like that.

Wow. She’s really terrible in every way. Also, who told her that being blond and skinny makes you hot? Cause homegirl is nothing impressive at first glance and once you read her writing, downright hideous.

Oh I saw that. I follow Mara Wilson, & she put this woman on blast this morning (& rightfully so), & now she's retweeting anyone who shouts out articles written about/supporting/coping with mental illness. Mara is a treasure, Amanda is a shithead.

This is the third time I have posted “Holy Shit!” in reply to someone with a link to another piece this douchecanoe has written

I cannot decide if she’s serious or if she’s going to take off a mask and reveal that she was Joaquin Phoenix all along and it was all just a character piece.

the best burn, the single best burn for an Upper East Side Becky

Somebody needs to take the internet from me because I’m now reading her article about how everyone she’s ever been a bridesmaid for had terrible fashion sense but all nine of her bridesmaids like the dresses she’s picked out and this is going to be my whole evening now. I can feel it.

“...I’m a hot little blonde...” REALLY? Oh honey.
You’re more catalog than runway and that’s the kindest I can bring myself to be.

Holy shit, this bitch’s self-regard! In the first para of that little self-loving blog post, she describes how a former boss she calls “Cunt Chocula” hated her from the beginning, and says, “I can understand why, I’m a hot little blonde with a well-connected family from the Upper East Side of Manhattan.”

Have you seen Amanda’s husband? I’d rather fuck a jug.

THIS. After working in therapeutic group homes with kids everyone else has given up on, I just want to scream to the world: PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS STILL HAVE VALUE AND THEIR LIVES DO TOO.

I lost my best friend with shizophrenia to suicide and it was one of the worst things I ever read. If anyone ever said such things about her to me they’d get straight decked. The stigma is terrible. Love to your brother. Living with it takes immense strength so I know he’s strong. I couldn’t have hated it more.

This. Not only is she hideous to someone who was supposedly her best friend at one time, I couldn’t believe how she talked about this girl’s family. My partner’s cousin has schizophrenia as well and the lengths to which the entire family has gone to get her help (and failed) is heartbreaking. Her mom’s struggle is

I miss Sassy so much. This would never have happened in Sassy! I’m gonna go put on my combat boots and babydoll dress and sulk in the corner until it’s over.

This bitch is exactly how I imagine my former best friend talks about me and my depression. She never reached out and then when we got together she would complain that all I ever did was bring the group down. I begged her to invite me to things because my postpartum depression was keeping me isolated and lonely. I get

My brother has schizophrenia. His life has value. I could never imagine writing something like that about him. Just FYI people, stop making psycho or schizo into a slur. Stigma is a real problem and contributes to the devaluing of the lives of people who have thought disorders.
