Why not? What were your side effects?

Reminds me of how my grandfather was treated for schizophrenia back in the ole electroshock therapy days. That’s obvs didn’t work but then pharmaceuticals came around and he obediently lined up his pills, took them daily, and beat everyone at checkers.

Yeah darn those antidepressants for not curing her gout!

I think it’s mostly because of the “invisibility” of the disease. I also have MS, and many don’t understand the weakness, lack of fine motor skills, and pain associated with it because they can’t SEE the injury (cause it’s in my spine, assholes) - they think I’m making it up or exaggerating. There are some physical…

Oh, honey. I feel you. Graduate school, for me, only poisoned the well (3 masters degrees and two PhD programs that I quit). It was such a negative environment (academia, generally) that I had to get out for my own mental health - even with the meds.

God I wish I had been medicated as a kid. My anxiety manifested strongly very early. I used to go into my parents bedroom every night to see if my parents were still alive because I was so worried they would die because they were old and then what the heck would I do.

UGH!

Weed helps with the sexual side effects I have experienced from my antidepressants- but it’s not the same for everyone.

Why make life harder than it already is? If a little tan pill enables me to get out of bed in the morning and not hate myself give me ALL THE PILLS. I can enjoy my husband so much more and just BE. It’s like seeing color after living in black and white.

After a bad bout of depression that resulted in hospitalization i started on lifelong antidepressants. My FIL then said “you need to get off that mess.”

Zoloft for the win!

My sister likes to tell me a story about how she was changing my diaper when I was a baby and raisins she had given me earlier in the day came out as grapes, basically.

A few weeks ago my 12 year old niece and I shared Cookie Monster blue ice cream at a baseball game. A few days later I got panicked texts about how she was about to die because her poop was neon green.

I loved the kingkiller chronicles except for that insufferable woman K is obsessed with. She sucks.

True story: I’ve had a beer with joe exotic. Not something I’m proud of, but it happened. Right after one of his raccoons pooped on me.

Or a new boss is being manipulative to get you to quit because 1. The cost of severance if you were fired, and 2. They still want your FTE and it would be unavailable for a year if the position was eliminated (because there is no merit for poor performance)

This whole episode made me cringe (in a good way?). When I thought Kelley was done she KEPT GOING. My God go home already.

Holy shit I’m wearing my Lili Chin shirt right now.

Ommmmggggg TL;DR
