Atypical in your neurology? That is an excuse if I’ve ever heard one. Most abusive relationships start off slow, the person doing the abuse is usually very apologetic. That’s the insidious nature of it.

When my daughter was about 18 months, she absolutely preferred Dad over me, but from 2 years to 3 years she was glued to my hip. It is definitely a phase and I think it’s kind of how they form attachments by doing it really strongly to one person at a time, if that makes sense. (I was just as anxious about it at the…

You are awesome, keep kicking ass!

Yes yes yes. Doctors around here have handed them out like candy for years. When I had to have minor (MINOR) surgery a few years ago, they gave me two weeks worth of Vicodin. After I had my kids, Vicodin. I just had my gallbladder out in February, they gave me 50 Norco pills. In all cases I only took them for like a…

Thank you, I appreciate that. It is not easy.

And even if the alcoholic stops drinking, if they aren’t working on their underlying issues, they can still be emotional abusive. A dry drunk. Going through this right now with someone, unfortunately.

Fuckin love hot cheetos. Hot cheetos for presi—wait, bad idea.

I’m sorry for your experience and I hope you are doing better. However, for the right people, the meds can be life-changing. That’s why a thorough psych eval and follow ups are so important, which unfortunately does not always happen.

I’m aware of that. There is a great deal of debate in every area of the psychological community. But there is enough evidence to satisfy me and countless others who have been diagnosed and treated. You’re correct that it is not diagnosed in France, as I’ve heard from several frustrated people with the symptoms who…

IT IS SO BORING. Now that I’ve been taking mine for so long I often forget that I’m even on it...until I miss a dose and keep forgetting what I’m doing and losing track of everything.

I’m calling Ellie out here. She’s literally saying that it is “scary” to give kids ADHD medication, which is irresponsible and ignorant.

It’s called put them up on a very high shelf or a locked cabinet and explain that they are medicines (or laundry soap) that are not to eat.

You do realize that ADHD is a real neurobiological developmental disorder, and that stimulant medication has been shown many times to be the most effective treatment? Sure, stimulants may be over-prescribed, and idiot college students will get high on whatever they can get their hands on, but whatever personal…

Woah, thank you for that. There are a few good ones on there it looks like. I always thought Kesha’s pop songs were pretty fun, but I had NO idea she could sing like this. I would buy an album with her and Ben Folds in a heartbeat.

Stop calling yourself an asshole. Your behavior was self-absorbed, okay, because that is what depression does.

Okay, but for some women, maybe they would still feel upset and want to bury what was left. Is that so hard to believe? Happened to me too, and I thought about burying what looked like a big-eyed shrimp even though logically I knew it was medical waste.

I hate myself for knowing about Freelee and Tana, separately. There is way too much Youtube watched in my goddamn house.

I have 4 children and I regained my chill by not participating in that shit anymore. My kids run all over outside, aren’t in twelve million different activities, and this weekend we had a birthday party that involved a nerf war and a storebought cake. Meanwhile, the mothers in their school have this enormous pressure…

But see that’s why Donald Trump is so dangerous—they think he’s one of them. How the fuck they think that I have no idea, but he doesn’t talk like a politician, and he doesn’t seem to give a fuck, and they love that. That’s the scary part to me. I live in a rural area and the way that people are talking about him with…

Yes, lots and lots of pride, lots of that whole hard work ethic bullshit as the conservative mindset. They go to public schools that are poorly funded, wind up with a sub-par education, and continue in the same cycle. Then when their “hard work” doesn’t pay off they bitch about someone else being at fault. They just…
