can’t do group therapy, but one on one you get used to, you just have zero relationship with your therapist outside of the small room where you sob about your childhood and how you’ll be single forever to someone who is essentially a stranger (but a stranger with a good heart, a good education, and lots of practice…

Poor Kanye. I spent two weeks in the psych ward over Christmas last year, they don’t keep people on big holidays unless it is serious. I’m a bit of a Kanye stan, so I am really pulling for him, and I hope the non-fans can treat this situation with the respect it deserves, mental illness is no joke.
Not a Kanye fan, but mental health issues are literally hell inside your head. Wish him the best.
Sorry on behalf of NH. We still have a lot of old rich people and crazy libertarian wackadoos
Guys. Is it just me or is everyone else having a really hard time functioning as normal people still? Anything celebratory makes me want to fucking puke. Everything is awful and bleak, I feel terrified and stuck and reeling. I’m absolutely dreading thanksgiving tomorrow, where my family is going to be chipper as fuck…
My husband just got a new job! He had a lack luster resume after spending a huge chunk of his 20s/30s on passion projects that didn’t translate to real world experience. He took a shiiiiiitty job knowing it would be a stepping stone to bigger better things. He has been miserable at work, we never see each other, and…
My mom has Alzeheimers and tomorrow is Kiara reminder of what it’s doing to her. She used to love to make sweet potatoes. Now its an effort to get her here with her hair washed. Sorry to be a downer. Long times reader, first time poster.
I’m grateful to you for “a shit-filled tart with hot garbage frosting” — that description made me smile just now, and I really really needed it.
So life has been a shit-filled tart with hot garbage frosting for many. I’m fighting my own depressive cycle and isolation, and school stress is kicking my ass. I know this is super corny, but I’d really like to know what you’re thankful for, even if it’s just the love of a pet or a nice neighbor (those can seem to be…
I’m a shitty cook, so I’m letting other family members deal with that mess.
Jezebel, thanks for replacing Gawker as my favorite source for snarky, sometimes-frustrating, but always colorful journalism. It’s especially nice to know that I’m not alone in my deep post-Election frustrations.
aren’t we glad we didn’t elect some WOMAN who would be worried about her appearance all the time instead of concentrating on her job?!!!
You are not alone. And I’m proud of you for taking each day and telling it, “I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!”
With all my intuitive, witchy powers I tell you I have long believed Kanye to be bipolar. Love him, feel for him, he’s a blowhard but brilliant. Let’s try a little compassion- when it comes to mental illness, celebs are really just like us- except sometimes the fishbowl exacerbates the delusions and makes it harder…
I pretty much screamed and sobbed through my therapy session last week, and spent this weekend alternating between anxious crying and sleeping. In the best of circumstances that’s my typical winter (and it usually doesn’t start until at least Dec for me). This winter is clearly not going to be best circumstances.…
Thank you, and hugs right back. I imagine we aren’t the only people feeling this way. I’m on a steady dose of meds and still feel like garbage, so I can’t imagine what people with no insurance are going through.
It’s amazing to me how quickly the “mainstream media” has normalized this shit. Not even two weeks after the election, and still months before he’s sworn in, and fucking CNN is already waffling on whether it’s really fair to expect the leader of the free world to alienate his base by confirming that he doesn’t think…
