*that escalated quickly gif*

Oh, hey Katherine.

Usually it’s more of a slow decline. With Shonda shows I feel like it’s a really steep fall. Maybe because they’re SO good at first - addictive and soapy and just the right mix of smart and trashy TV.

Shonda’s shows are a good match for Netflix. Scandal is a perfect example of a show I would never tune in weekly for, but will binge watch while drunk.

Shonda’s super talented and brilliant at creating new shows that grip you instantly. Her biggest weakness is sustaining the characters and storylines past one season. I hope the new platform works in her favour and maybe now her shows won’t all jump the shark irreversibly after 1-2 seasons, if only because Netflix…

God bless Bruno Mars.

Harry would be average af if he weren’t royalty and being compared to a family that looks like a bunch of 18th century Habsburg rejects.

The six closest people in line to inheritng the throne must get permission from the Queen before marrying by law.

I’m not really familiar with the royal family rules concerning marriage, but if you must have the Queen’s permission, you gotta ask Beyonce, I guess.

*If*, and it’s a huge *if* he really is proposing, it’s not even in the same country, just the same continent. If William had proposed in London, would that mean Harry wouldn’t be able to propose anywhere in the British isles?

He’s not marrying me so I don’t see what I should be excited about.

If my teen depression had looked like this, my mother would have absolutely just screamed at me to sort my hair out, in addition to telling me to “get over it.” If she didn’t shave my head for me, with or without my consent. In reality, I pulled my hair out, and had a bald patch going at any given time, and instead of…

At the same time, if getting her to eat or change her clothes is a struggle that takes priority over the hair. This is her most visible symptom, but maybe not her worst problem. Her parents may really be trying.

I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

I’d also think - after the hair has become matted - it becomes one of the factors that can fuel and help maintain the depression.

Assuming the hairdresser is addressing this specific girl’s case, apparently the parents told her to “get over it.” Which is really effective in alleviating depression. /s So beyond neglect, I’d say.

I spent my internship at a DV agency and we always had specialized trainings for cosmetologists. Oftentimes, abuse victims and people with severe depression will not only open up to their stylists, but the stylists will often see bruises and cuts from abuse and self harm that may be hidden by hair. We always gave them…

This is at least the third article I’ve read in a similar vein — about depressed people neglecting their self-care — in the last month or two. I don’t know what has caused this emergence, but I welcome it. I work from home so I’m not worried about what I look/smell like to other people, so my depression wins most…

At what point is this parental neglect? There’s a line between letting them be them and another between full on closing the door to the problem.
