I feel you. After my divorce when I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, I lost all ability to be normal. I'm doing better now but I'm still not back to normal functionality.

My most played artist and album was from a random video game I never played. This is because I listen to video game music when I work because it’s supposed to help maintain focus. Still, though.

I'm so sorry. That's the worst thing I can imagine to happen in a pregnancy. :( *hugs*

ICYMI, some conservative sites are reporting that the shooting started in the bank and the shooter just “took refuge” in the planned parenthood facility. Are banks open on Black Friday? My guess is no.

Hey, look. It's another white male with a gun.

Five bucks says it’s a religious thing and the shooter identifies as Christian. Not that it’ll change the “only Christians are safe to enter the country” rhetoric we've been hearing.

This is why you continue to be my favorite. :)

Is there anything I could do? Or any of us denizens of the interwebs?

I got lucky. I'd actually paused reading to think about something and heard that part of the lecture right before I was challenged.

I convinced my sixth grade teacher I could read a book whilst paying attention. It appears to be the only instance of Jedi mind control powers I've ever had.

I'm sure it's been longer than two years for me. :(

Every time I see Ted Cruz I want to punch him. So much. And I think it's his face because I don't have that same punch-happy feeling for similar dickbeans.

I cannot tell you how much I desperately miss their spicy chicken sandwich. Stupid ethical stands.

Yeah, that’s a thing. My ex goes to one of those crazy ass churches and I had a conversation with my offspring about gender equality. Their pastors wife is on staff (common) as the “women’s pastor” or some such. But upon questioning, the children realized that she never preaches, and the most they can say she…

My sister recently told me that the only time I should consider having a milkshake is if I'm pregnant. Which I'm not. So there's that.

Ok, but...in what version of reality would a militant middle-eastern Islamic group include Israelis? I really demand logical consistency within batshit arguments.

I've been saying for years, Neil Degrasse Tyson for president.

Uh, my ob said Wellbutrin got moved to class B, like Tylenol and was cool for pregnancy. I'm actively trying on the Wellbutrin. At least I think that's what he said. :/

I’m so sorry. Kids are hard, and especially at the baby stage, when you’re sleep deprived. I’m seconding the people who advocate for therapy and/or medication. Wellbutrin and therapy have changed my life.

Seriously, this is one of the best books I've read in years. And I read a lot of books. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
