That part is heart breaking. I mean the cologne aspect of this story made me chuckle but the fact he even survived so long without any caretakers and he wolves being his protector I would be a Wolf person too.

His dad sold him. Of course he prefers wolves.

She never said he was lazy. She said he ignored the care it took to manage it. Lots of people with these types of illnesses do the same. You’re being unnecessarily critical of Beet’s comment. It was in no way unsympathetic. She was sharing a relation to someone with it and she’s allowed to.

My gun-toting, bible-thumping, gay-hating, Trump-supporting step-dad got fired from his job last week because heavy snowfall prevented him from getting to work for 2 straight days (I know, I know, mostly horseshit excuse). Even when he does have steady work, he and my mom usually need extra help via her social…

Agreed. She never said it was a character flaw. She’s under no obligation to stay. I’m also an addict. I consider that also to be a disease, but people don’t have to stick around with me because of it.

Not that it matters but I’m bipolar, and I also don’t really treat mine well either. I don’t psychologically know why, but I just don’t. I’ve had people break up with me too because of it and have had negative fall out in my life. It’s a sad reality of this kind of disease. One that doesn’t get spoken about enough.…

sweetheart, you may want to get an eye test because lazy never came up. he was anything but.

I’ll be real honest — as someone with bipolar 2 (having a down swing for the past three weeks — it will eventually end, just hasn’t YET), reading her talk about judgement is super real. We have to destigmatize mental illness — and calling it mental illness also feels wrong to me. I didn’t catch this like a cold. I…

Yes, obviously not everybody looks up to everybody. That’s why it’s important to have many people discuss their experiences. Mariah Carey for some, Carrie Fisher for others, and still we could use more.

Good for her for coming out and being pragmatic. I used to date someone who was bipolar and he fought what it took to take care of it. It was very clear in retrospect that, although he was very smart, charming, and talented, that he would ignore the constant care his disorder took really ruined a lot of things for…

Mental illness comes with a such stigma, and its a shame because so many people suffer from some kind or another, myself included. And many that havent been diagnosed. I wish more people would be open about talking about it, perhaps it would make it seem more normalized for those who feel ashamed or embarrassed by it.…

I’m very, very glad for her. And I’m very, very glad for people with Bipolar Disorder who can see a reflection of themselves in someone they might look up to.

Awwww yesssssss I love seeing people take charge of and begin to proactively manage their health issues! Fuck yeah, Mariah!

You may not be familiar with this as you claim to be new to the case, but there was a large public outcry regarding Best’s appearance at the trial, including demands to strip him of the Irish captaincy. This can be confirmed through numerous news sources, as well as through social media.

In court the next week, Jackson’s barrister, Brendan Kelly QC, unloaded on the accuser, telling her that “drunken consent is still consent” and accused her of taking the morning-after pill to look like a “classic rape victim.”

First, I am so sorry you were subjected to this abuse. A child should never be harmed this way; it is monstrous.

I know it just breaks my fucking heart and makes me feel sick inside. I want to cry for any child that had to hurt in that way and deal with it more an adult. It drives me mad. As a mother of two daughters (well soon to be 2) I would go on a murderous rampage if anyone touched my kids. I just feel crazy even thinking…

Me Too is, at least partly, about fighting toxic masculinity. This piece strikes exactly at how damaging toxic masculinity is and how it perpetuates itself to compound the damage.

I’m shocked. Shocked, that some terrible person who tried to murder someone in heinous fashion (cutting someone’s breaks, ffs) has, under Trump, a great job with great pay and fantastic free healthcare. What happened to Republicans, that they’re perfectly fine with the complete lack of morality in this administration?…

It was my brother who abused me as a child for many years. I have no memory of it and didn’t learn of it until I was 34 and separated from my first wife. To this day I have only one isolated memory, but my life was/is forever changed. The very first time I had an opportunity for sex, a woman made dinner for me at her…
