Yeah I think the first step is get professional help. After a suicide attempt and nearly getting fired from my job (from simply not doing said job), I voluntarily checked myself into a mental health facility to finally single out what the hell was going on. I was worried that I was bipolar but I was able to get a…

I was diagnosed 6 months ago but only recently began taking medication after a particularly troubling episode of depression. I usually 'shut down', and ruminate over why things are not the way I want them to be, beat myself up (emotionally), and harbour a lot of self-guilt. What you said echoes one of the biggest…

Thanks for this post. I was just kicking around the idea of going back to talking to someone. I went awhile back, before the onset of winter after I had finally accepted that I was feeling pretty depressed* and saw a therapist for a bit, but it ended up just being a real dehumanizing and awful experience. Obviously, I…

I would revise "think about medication" to "TAKE YOUR GODDAMN MEDS!" As someone with long term depression, I can't tell you how many times I thought I had depression "beaten" so I went off my meds.

Those poor monkeys. I guess they'd know better than anyone else how fucked up Tennessee law is.

A lot of Pats fans, myself included, are totally fine with it. He helped the team to a championship and deserves to get paid, but New England can't afford him at this price. Unfortunate to see him go from a fan perspective, but I'm glad for him on a personal level.

Donnell was later heard arguing vehemently with Port Authority police that because the plane got two wheels down, it technically had landed in bounds.

A classy response from a great guy and top D-man. I still hold a candle in hopes he re-signs here for less money, but the wording of his letter makes me think he's gone. Sad day for Pats fans. Love Big Vince.

Christ, even Jolie Kerr has to use burner accounts. Thanks, Kinja!

Fish reheated in the microwave at work.

It never got better than it did with this game...
