Yeah, that italicized bit made me say to myself "this guy isn't just a terrible person, he's a predator". People who have a specific group like abused women who are being referred to him on a regular basis wanted those clients for a reason, and it ain't money.

Only 10 years for attempted murder? Wow.

...Or is rape recognized as a crime, but it cannot be a serious crime if the victim is female, because women are less important than men? Is the idea that if we decriminalize or trivialize rape, we can better control women's sexuality by making them solely responsible for their assaults? As in, women will no…

Oh my god, they have been!

So, men raping women is fine, and men raping men is not because homophobia. They're real fucking charming, aren't they?

Maybe he wants there to be trolls? He either genuinely wants trolls to run rampant in the comments sections or he truly does not care.

The only mod type thing I've ever heard of is SlayBelle, and I think she's only on either groupthink or powder room. I know some authors try to mod their own threads, but I've never heard if there's actual mods on the Gawker sites. We desperately need them though. Why is Denton so committed to furthering communication…

Agreed! And I love that you chose Maleficent, a rape victim, for your gif.

Yup. No sympathy for these guys.

Dude, I am like, cackling with glee over here. Let the little shits rot in prison, because they deserve it, and let this be an example for other sentences to come.

Hey, you know what makes people not want to seek treatment? Comments like "many therapists I know won't even take on BPD patients because they're generally pretty miserable to engage with." Just in case you were ever wondering why people don't praise you for your stellar advice.

The thing I have found with depression is if people have never had it they have absolutely no concept of what it's like. They think you can think yourself into being better and it's all about having a positive attitude =D! They don't have the first idea on how to help you or what you need or what you feel like every…

I think that's because "masculine" support generally involves giving someone advice on how to fix their problem, regardless of if it's been requested or not. I think stories like this on Jezebel are intended as a springboard for people to talk about depression among teens, not for the author of the piece to have…

Hey, you may want to speak to a human being. It sounds like you're an asshole.

Unless you have those credentials, you shouldn't be telling someone what it "sounds like they have".

Why do people insist on armchair diagnosis? Encourage her to seek help from a GOOD clinician and let that clinician (and patient) do the rest.

Everyone wants to help, but for some reason, nobody ever wants to hug.

I was 38/39. That's when it lifted. I'd had periods of being OK before then, and maybe this is another one of those, but I don't think so, it feels different. I rarely get really low anymore and thoughts of ending everything have gone.

When I was 8, I told my mother I wanted to go to sleep forever. Nothing was done.

My daughter could have written this. She's still only 16, but for years we've been battling her GAD+Depression. She's been hospitalized, gone through 5 different medications (and all of their various dosages), and in therapy on & off since she was 10. Her current medication seems to have made a huge difference in the…
