I finally understand why doctors are so stingy with the promethazine. I remember going to the doctor once after a nasty stomach flu - for 3 days I could keep nothing down and I was severely dehydrated. I went in begging for promethazine (which is, along with being an antihistamine, also an antiemetic, and a fantastic…

Yes

If she’s living with her boyfriend and the child is in danger of abuse, yes. It’s a shitty side-effect of domestic violence, but the child needs to be protected. That being said, I don’t think it’s hopeless for Janelle. But she needs a good therapist and it would be good for her to be single for a while.

Seeing as how her current boyfriend has a history of DV, I’m going to disagree with you there.

Ooh - you remember Room Raiders? Or the one where the person had a significant other and the parents sent them on dates with other people in the hopes they’d dump said significant other.

I remember one episode where she was on probation, knew when she had to meet with her probation officer, knew she would be drug tested by her probation officer, and smoked weed a day or two before the meeting. WHY, JANELLE?? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??

It’s anecdotal, but I’ve met more than one germophobic man who is, for some reason, not so discerning when it comes to sex. Just throwing that out there.

Try Express! I’m large chested but their button ups actually fit!

Yup. I’m just learning, in my late 20s, that it’s ok for me to have cleavage. It’s taken me over 15 years to not feel ashamed of my breasts. It’s sort of a societal idea that large breasts are a blessing, but they’re really not. All I ever wanted was to be tall and waifish, and it’s taken me a long time to get to the…

Seriously. Since when is "I am also an African American" some sort of political endorsement? Do people just not know the historical connotations of the raised fist?

But Danielle Brooks, you guys! She’s nominated!

Thank you! Luckily, it didn’t get severe enough that I needed treatment or anything, and it took me a long time to realize that it was an eating disorder. I wish you luck - sometimes our mental health is worth a lot more than money or a degree!

I recently left a long-time job (that I should have left years ago - emotionally abusive and toxic work environment, was guilted into staying too long, long story) and I’m so glad I did. I took a moderate paycut, so I’m living cheap for a while, but I’m so much happier - I dropped several pounds my first week just…

I’ve also struggled with bingeing and still do, sometimes. I also sympathize with the quick weight gain - after recovering from anorexia/bulemia, I went on birth control and started binge eating and gained about 40 pounds in probably 3 months - it was super quick, I just woke up one morning and thought, “What the hell…

I know how you feel - I started a new job a few weeks ago and was nervous too (which is unusual for me). I’m about a month in now and everything is going great. Just keep telling yourself the first couple of days are the worst part and it all gets easier from there!

*Trigger warning* Definitely been through it. Basically, struggled with anorexia/bulemia in my teens, then switched to binge-eating disorder after that and gained a ton of weight. It’s taken me about a year of hard work to lose 25 pounds and I still yo-yo. I was really hoping to be closer to my goal weight now. I…

Oh, you bet your ass I did haha

I loved all the seasons, but Scully is definitely less of a victim in the later ones. And I’m in love with Mulder so I’m going to have to disagree with you there :-)

1. Sliced fruit of your choice. 2. A shit ton of Cool Whip. I’m sure the stuff is terrible for you, but it really satisfies the emotional sweets cravings and is low in calories.

Yup. Lots of fruit and orange juice and tons of sleep. When you’re not at work and feel like sleeping, do it. I haven’t lost the battle and gotten sick for a good 9 months now (knock on wood).
