Oh my god, who on earth will he cast as Monica Lewinsky?!

As a fellow old, my first thought was that I’d never be able to get back up out of a squat like that without help.

The woman being attacked by aluminum foil REALLY did not want to be in this photo.

When i was 19, I gained a lot of weight due to a hormonal imbalance. My doctor told me that I could take medication that would help, but the side effect that I got was constant vertigo, which is not fun. So, i went off the meds. Without the meds, my doctor told me, I’d find it difficult to lose the weight that I’d…

Hiro has the BEST FACE!

Hiro looks like he knows things. Sad, secret things.

It’s been years since she would have been able to feel that punch.

Had a blow out fight with my husband yesterday. It led to a good talk but I still feel off. He says horrible things when he is angry and then says sorry like that covers it. I told him there will come a point that the words will break our relationship and I think it might be close. He says he wishes he never got…

I’m a miniatures junkie. My sister gave me a 1:24 scale dollhouse kit for Christmas. I’ve been painting, laying tiny hardwood floors and building tiny furniture from Chinese kits with Chinese instructions. Last night I built a bookshelf smaller than a pinecone! I made fake stone from old newspaper, and today I went on…

A quiet NYE with my husband (~8pm PST where I am). Later in the first week of the New Year we’re driving down to Southern California to see our families. I’m still kind of worried about Dad, though he sounds about as good as he can on the phone.

I was really looking forward to NYE but I had to put my sweet 16 year old kitty down on Wednesday and I’ve been a sobbing mess. I have a family, but he was truly the light of my life and my grief feels so intense and shocking. I’ve cried out for him, woken up in the middle of the night crying and I can’t get used to…

Things my three cats have pulled this year:

Sheela the Irish Wolfhoud is 10 months old!

Hot take: The Jersey turnpike is the fine.

I am also glad that you are better! That said, I get the naysayers. I am a behavioral health nurse and there is a real problem seeing the same tortured souls every six months because they stop taking their meds either because they feel better or they don’t like the side effects. Stopping the meds might help a very…

Sounds less like projecting and more that you were astutely noticing indications of a very personal and yet fairly universal human experience. The childhood wish to be ‘normal’ (when one has been broken), and, failing that, the determination to appear normal at all costs.

One of the worst things about treatment resistant depression is the insistence that “you just have to find the right med cocktail!” when you’re taking more pills than your 90-year-old grandmother, have side effects that make you even more depressed and that no doctor gives a shit about, your own therapist says she…
