When I came down or off antidepressants, I had to do it reeeeally slowly (I got mad vertigo and shit when I tried to do it at the “normal” rate). Like snapping the tablets in half so I could do intermediate intervals, and spending twice as long at each interval. Everyone reacts differently. I don’t know what your dose…

Be careful, friend. There’s always a tradeoff with these kinds of drugs. They seriously fuck with my liver, but I probably would’ve offed myself years ago had it not been for anti-depressants. If your doctor isn’t offering any solid advice, you need to find a better doctor. 

You sound truly miserable, and if that’s the case, you should leave.

First of all, congratulations, and no, that’s not sarcasm. If I had had the wherewithal to quit bad fit/profoundly crazymaking situations in my life, I think I’d be in a better place now.

I think we’re friends now.

So basically you are *every mom* at some point or another. Give yourself some grace.... kids can get under our skin even on our best day, let alone when you’re recently divorced and tired and working your ass off just to stay afloat. My middle son pulled the same trick when he BEGGED to play soccer and then the first…

That someone at the gym should drop a ten pound weight on their toe. Their loss is your gain!

Bruce’s eyes are always so dilated, as though he has just seen what’s inside the monolith in 2001.

What a gorgeous torbie! (I have a diluted one that has as much cattitude, I’m sure.)

I don’t post much to these, but I appreciate them and read them every week. I follow many of you. Today was rough. I’m a single mom now, and work very hard, and I do a lot with my kids. Today my son told me that he was embarrassed that I clapped and shouted during his soccer game. My daughter pouted and got dramatic…

As I was reading I was prepared to not like this but scrolled down and Aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Not to pile on if others have already pointed out (I literally cannot see to tell if other have, the issue is so bad) but the commenting seems broke as hell right now so kinda hard to have a SNS. I reported it to Kinja, guess if others do the same maybe someone will get on it?

I’m am so not a “cat lover”, but suddenly I love Pumpkin Andy for your heroic rescue of a decade ago. What a handsome boy that is, and great lighting on that lovely portrait of a proud kitty!!

I have no idea about the rules in your institution, but I strongly suspect that they’ll be able to give that assistantship to another student, and it’ll be easier for them sooner rather than later. Life happens, and the assistantship is funding, so it should be a fairly straightforward matter of letting them know…

I hope you’re doing this under your doctor’s care ...

I hate people who treat dogs and cats like they're disposable! So glad you saved her, such a pretty girl. 

What a gorgeous kitty.  I have a soft spot for tortoiseshells (my own is one) but legitimately gorgeous nonetheless. And there is a special, extra-roasty spot in hell reserved for that person at the gym.

The Dustbunny. Ten years ago, I heard someone at the gym say she was taking the cat to be euthanized because the toddler didn't like her. 

So, this happened on Tuesday

Someone dressed a Pomeranian dog as Paddington Bear...and now the world seems a slightly better place to be in than it did yesterday
