Really lacking in creativity.

I’d like to see Charlize Theron as Bond someday. She has the action chops in spades, more than most incoming Bonds do. I can easily see her coolly sipping a martini as she scopes out the bad guy, shoving said bad guy’s head through a wall, and inexplicably putting saving the world on hold because she found some hot…

It sounds like there were a lot of people stepping up together to de-escalate the situation and protect the restaurant workers and didn’t realize he was armed. Idk, not gonna knock people for trying to protect service industry workers from assholes.

(with apologies to Janis) 

I have a recording of a loud doorbell on my phone. “Oh, that’s my grocery delivery/plumber/lab tech home service. Gotta go! Bye!” Gets me out of zoom every time.

On the flip side, I had someone reach out to me on Facebook and apologize for bullying me. Now as a chubby feminine future gay, I was bullied like crazy. Yet, I don’t remember him ever doing it. I thanked him still.

I really really REALLY did not want to go to my 10-year high school reunion, so I asked a stripper to go and pretend to be me and I filmed the whole thing. You can watch a long or a short version at www.irememberandrea.com It’s been 15 years and my classmates are still complaining about it on Facebook. And there…

I don’t go to reunions for two reasons:

To quote Everybody Loves Raymond:

As a Scorpio, I would like to remind everyone that we are also known to be very, very loyal if you don’t fuck us over.  We are evil only when we have been treated badly. So people who think we are evil, why is that?

Don’t you worry, we will 100% fight you on everything.

Libras are really terrible. I haven’t met a Libra who wasn’t the worst. I am surrounded by them. 

As a Virgo, I’m surprised we’re so high up on the list. People tend to hate us for ruining fun with things like safety and planning. Unrelated, but not only am I co-Virgos with Beyonce but we are birthday twins!

I am a grudge-holding Scorpio.  ‘Nuff said.

Interesting. I guess I need to update my psych knowledge out of the 90s.

Thank you so much! My sister keeps telling me I should try yoga, it may be time to take her up on it.

I can’t tell you how much you’ve turned around my mood today. 

Thank you kind lady on the internet! I did some EMDR therapy and it helped some, but I haven’t done it since the pandemic struck.
You have some wonderful suggestions here that I will check out. It’s so easy to feel isolated when you’re in your head too much.
(and I know I’ve been drinking more than I should during…

You’re not alone. Your feelings are perfectly natural. You don’t need to feel guilty. Remember, you have an illness. You’re not choosing to have symptoms for poops and giggles.

Have you ever thought about attending some peer-led support groups? Some of the responses here are myopic. I think having a community of…

You can’t just think yourself sane.  Mental illness is not a weakness of one’s will, it is a chemical abnormality in the brain.  As someone who has suffered from depression my entire life and having to listen to people tell me to “just cheer up” for decades I can say one thing with certainty.  Fuck you.

That is great news, congratulations to you!
However, not everyone is able to function in a healthy productive manner without meds, and they should not feel like they are somehow inferior because they can’t just nip it in the bud in their brains.
I know I’m defensive because I’m one of those people, but this comment…
