Yeah.

What you describe is called “Persistent Depressive Disorder” or “Dysthymia.”

I’d be on some sort of birth control if I knew that it wouldn’t completely screw my mental health. For whatever reason, when my body starts back up after my period I lose my mind. It feels a lot like PMDD, but after I stop bleeding.

You’re absolutely right. Some of the people proposing straight pride parades are trolls. But that also means that there are at least some who are absolutely serious in their hate.

I must say that I do like the bulk of the systems, including thirst and hunger system along with the fact that sleeping actually matters.

I hate that that sounds absolutely plausible.

I cannot even fathom how angry you must have been, especially if people kept trying to pin the blame on you. That is some grade A level bullshit that you were put through. There are so many people who shouldn’t be allowed the drive

I’m sorry for your loss. Her death must have seemed so senseless.

Right?!

I think I could have been clearer.

I really hope you told him that you were flying the flag before he came over.

I’m sorry that you can relate. It’s a really heavy thing to hold.

I’ll chime in with my own account.

The car metaphor is spot on.

Unfortunately, it isn’t. Autistic people have been shot by police officers because they did not act or react as expected or told.

It’s always so maddening to me what parents want to change about their kids. Like stimming. Why is stimming such a bad thing?

I feel this.

I have that exact same nightlight! It was cheap and it looked cute, so now it lives in my bathroom.

I’ll have to remember this one.

I know for sure that some of the medications I’m on cause birth defects.
