The issue is non-partisan according to the article. It is standard operating procedure. Comey is the one doing something fantastical.

OMG I LOVE YOU CLAIRE (from Xo) AND YOU’VE BEEN ON JEZEBEL THE WHOLE TIME HOW DO I GET YOUR JOB IT’S AMAZING!?!?!?!

What a literal interpretation of half naked.

Lol, lightly slapped.

Right. Jezebel is kinda the worst sometimes. XoJane is like that now, too. It’s become about picking women and their life decisions or beliefs apart. Regarding their entire beings unacceptable if they veer at all from the one standard, “normal” life or view set we’re all supposed to adhere too. Remember when Jezebel…

Totally agree.

I was in this place. My failures swallowed me everyday. I couldn’t get through the day without wanting to just claw myself right out of my skin. You are not the piece of shit you imagine yourself to be. You’re a human with value, whether you drink yourself to death or not. YOU are valid. Your drinking is a behavior…

You’re a human being with a serious problem that’s very hard and sometimes impossible to deal with. We all make mistakes, even big ones that we hate ourselves for. I flunked out of college, six credits (two classes) away from a bachelor’s. Only I know that a lot of the classes I missed were spent getting blackout so I…

My therapist also suggested cutting back, as in only drinking every other day instead of every day.

If I get a fifth, no matter if I limit myself to only such and such an hour or only half the…

I think this is what a lot of alcoholics (including myself) wish they were like, but alas, it just doesn’t work for all of us :(

This is kinda sad. And I’m an alcoholic so I’ve definitely had the “if I didn’t drink I would just kill myself because I’m so miserable and alcohol is the only “one” there for me!”. But yeah, it’s a fallacy.

I had the same experience! Once I got on an anti-psychotic it wasn’t the hardest thing ever in life. It became doable. I didn’t realize how much I was self-medicating until then. I am diagnosed bipolar but there was a time when I was certain I was borderline because of the instability surrounding every single thing I…

Yessss!!!!! Sometimes the roughest part is going through something that feels so monumental for you and so insignificant for others.

Maybe this is a diff perspective. I was unmedicated bipolar and found that once I got on an anti-psychotic I was able to turn away from alcohol in a way I never was before. By the time this happened I was pretty literally house-bound. Getting to the laundromat or grocery store was a big deal for me. My boyfriend had…
