Thank you- I’m okay. We’re all good now. We got through it. We’re all going to the farm tomorrow to celebrate my sister’s promotion :)

In one week last spring I lost my dad- who was my best friend and most influential person in my life- to cancer. He was young and active when he got it, fought for years and years, and was fucking pissed off and not ready to die. It sucked. My sister and I took care of him at my mom’s house, so he could die at home,…

Earlier this year, after having to hospitalize a family member because she was suicidal, which caused me to stop speaking to my mother permanently, I had to hospitalize someone else I love for a major depressive episode with psychosis. This all triggered my own mental health issues and I was heavily medicated. Then I…

My step-father was a chronic pain patient who became permanently disabled when I was in high school. My mom couldn’t deal with it so she split in my senior year, so instead of any college, I had to find a job to support us. My biological father was pretty much absent in my life, so my step-father was all I had—he…

On early Sunday morning, my husband’s birthday, I found out he had cheated on me for two months. Tuesday I woke up hopeful that at least we would have Hillary as president. By Tuesday night, it seemed nothing good could ever happen again. This week has been one of the worst I could imagine happening.

Halloween 2013 when I my midwife had to tell me I was losing another baby. I had my kids with me. We were trick or treating at the mall with friends. I cried all the way home on the bus while people stared at me. Little did I know the miscarriage process would take 2.5 months. A few days later I had to go away for a…

1. When I received a 2 am phone call from the police that my son was on a ledge. They talked him down. Then they took him to the VA. (those guys still check on him, btw)

On October 30th 10 years back I was called in to work for a “meeting” where I was informed that we all had been exposed to live TB but we needed to keep it on the DL. On November 1st my Grandma died when I told my boss, who wanted me to do another 2 hours of overtime, she rolled her eyes and said “Why is this…

The worst week of my life was when I found out that I was not only crippled for life, but that it had been done to me on purpose by a doctor who had decided to misdiagnose my injury (and the injuries of countless others). He did this because it allowed him & his practice to perform procedures that would make my pain…

When I was 18 years old I had a ton of money saved up from working summers before college. My friends and I decided to do a trip to england on our own money and stay with my family’s friends there.

Whats funny about this is I really feel like that. Beyond the initial shock and rage and sadness, I now don’t even know how I feel. I don’t know how to actually make an emotion happen. I’m just straight faced.

Some how, in my mind, Hillary has gone from being my political candidate of choice to, like, my mom. I want to be like her, and I will fuck someone up to defend her.

It is so fun to fondly look back upon our stupid youth. Such good times.

If Barack Obama had 5 kids by 3 wives and each marriage ended because he was stepping out..... I mean do I even have to finish that thought?

This is, without a question, the very worst year of my life. And I’ve been severely depressed, to the point of being suicidal, in the past. But nothing really compares with the grief of losing my father, of handling the aftermath, and of seeing my country and everything I believe in go down the drain.

Trump is like...fucking indestructible. It’s amazing actually. If any other candidate (particularly Democrats/ Progressives) had done 1/4 of the shit he’s done their careers would be over and they’d be laughing stocks for the rest of their lives.

Yes the semi-literate trolls are out in force on this thread.

“Although I’m sure his replacement would be almost as bad so it’s cold comfort at best.”
