If this is what you need to stay healthy and happy, then that’s awesome that it’s in writing. Take care of yourself, and try not to let the official designations define you—but these definitions can help you ask for things that make your life better. Internet hugs!

Awesome! Thank you!

I personally found that I could talk to my dad more easily as I got older. There’s still a lot that we can’t/won’t talk about though. In my case, it was totally worth it to keep trying. 

Yes! I’ve had those moments, but nothing compared to what you describe. It sounds like you have a good medical support network, which is awesome!

So, I am often the mediator in my family (long stories, of course). But, can I hijack this thread? I love making pierogi, and I am always on the lookout for better recipes.

Good luck! I’m also very much a “don’t talk to me before coffee” and my mom is not, so I totally get you. I remember once we were on vacation and she was doing crosswords out loud first thing in the morning, which drove me nuts.It’s hard to be nice!

But you had a 6-month relationship, which is awesome! It sucks that it didn’t work out, but I hope you had some good times. Red wine will do for now, and best of luck to you in finding another good match!

Lol, exactly. “Anything good to come out of the sites is the result of employees’ hard work.” Oh, OK. That totally excuses the lack of editorial oversight and the many awkward sentences and even typos (bad takes I can deal with).

Replying for encouragement! I am also small chested and never felt that I got a good measurement, even though I thought I knew my size already (or at least what fit well for me). I’m 42, and just went to Victoria’s Secret early this year for my birthday to treat myself. I was astounded when they brought me several…

Again, thanks for the context—I haven’t seen the film. And I’m not disputing your experience of it. But I was responding to lononol’s
 point that it’s not only the portrayal of suicide that can be triggering, but the narrative explanations which ‘justify’ it. And that these explanations (though seemingly innocuous) can…

I just woke up my dog snort-laughing. Thank you!

Thanks for some more context from the film. However, the narrative itself (however it describes the ‘causes’) can still present triggers to people who are dealing with suicide or suicidal ideation.

I get you, but it can be logically consistent and still be a trigger.

Triggers to follow:

Its not on you! How can any of us look up every single thing we MAY encounter to know if it will be triggering or not? And triggers don’t always act in predictable ways, like, I may be ok with something one day/in a certain context and not in another.

This is an excellent point about multiple triggers and the impact of narratives on viewers. Thank you, and all the best to your family. 

I think this is one of his sexiest videos—addressing Parliament about the need for diversity in entertainment media:

Yup! I find that if I give it a good stir once I get it home, and then put it in the fridge, there is way less separation (and mess). 

Use the high! Even if it’s a single scene that’s been nagging you for a while, write it out! You know this better than anyone, so go ahead and do it!!!!!!

JALOUSE! It is literally snowing as I write this.
