So psyched for this book. I loved How Should A Person Be? and so much of it mirrored my life. Now I am 33, married, and the central question of my life is whether or not to have a baby. Heti seems to be writing exactly the books that I need at just the right time — not that I expect to find an answer in them, only…

Your free choice for a straw is really not that important. Not sarcasm, btw.

That’s the numbers in an exit poll. About 3.2 million people were registered to vote for this referendum we’ll get official numbers of how many voted when the count is complete later today Irish time.

I’m over the water in the UK, but I’ve been following this with a vested interest in how it turns out. You see, my boyfriend is Irish (at least, by birth, but he’s lived here since he was six weeks old and yeah, he did put on the accent when he was trying to chat me up. Hey, it worked!) and he comes from a pretty…

It ran off with the second E in commencement.

FUCK YEAH PrEP!!!! Makes my healthcare provider heart squeal to see the Truvada in your medicine cabinet, all casual-like.

There’s a poppy snake in a dressing room

A thank you also goes to GOP and Trump and rest of them American domestic terrorists: No sane person in Europe wants to associated to those freaks, so it’s only natural to have an opposite view from them.

Thank you. I have one parent and one ex with BPD, and I have compassion for Borderline people AND thier loved ones. It’s important that people with Borderline feel less stigma about thier disorder, feel safe seeking help, feel supported and encouraged while actively managing thier disorder (good for you, Pete!), and…

And here in Ireland the exit polls put the Abortion Referendum passing with roughly 68% of the vote in favour of repealing our 8th Amendment which essentially outlawed abortion while also putting the lives of women at risk seeing as even cancer treatments would be denied to a woman if she happened to be pregnant.

It’s…

Naw, that kid actually has pores.

BPD isn’t antisocial personality disorder it makes it difficult for people to be able to control their emotions it doesn’t make them emotionless. People with BPD are not heartless monsters they’re people with a mental health issue. I’m sorry for what you went through and honestly I understand. I’ve seen what it’s like…

Since receiving diagnoses and appropriate treatment for both bipolar and borderline personality disorders, my life has improved beyond recognition. Proper diagnosis is the key to successful recovery and living as well-adjusted as possible, and the perception that having a mental illness diagnosis excludes a person…

BPD = a slow maturing process and ability to cope. Worked in mental health for years and watched people grow out of it. Should have never been entered in the DSM.

As someone who suffers from both BPD and Bipolar, I was heartened by this article, and by the surprisingly compassionate, encouraging comments. Thank you, Jezebel. And thank you, Jezzies.

Tell your daughter that this broken lady in Brooklyn says hi <3

I’ll make sure to tell my daughter that you think of her and anyone else with a mental illness “broken”. She’ll love it

BPD (borderline personality disorder) is the MOST stigmatized mental illness. I worked in mental health for several years and even my supervisors would tell me to be careful around clients with BPD in ways they’d never suggest even with clients who experience schizoaffective disorder. It’s truly upsetting the way…

Well, as a militantly pro-choice person who just had a baby (seven months ago), celebrating a wanted pregnancy isn’t even remotely the same thing as condemning terminations of unwanted pregnancies. When you’re happy to be pregnant, as I was, after a year of trying and 33 years of waiting, every little thing about the…

Let this mark the day I first gave a shit about anything concerning Ed Sheeran.
