Yeah, her holier-than-thou act is getting a little tiring considering her working for Victor Salva and then defending it.

I sometimes think Rose McGowan should take a deep breath before she tweets. I also believe Meryl is probably very much in a bubble when it comes to her day-to-day life.

Oh shut up, mental illness is fucking real. And spinach smoothies and yoga don’t fucking fix it. Good Lord.

Jesus, fuck off with both your posts.

People on this thread are not understanding mental illness. I’ve had anxiety since I was a preteen. It’s not about needing exercise or because of society.

I thought I was the only one who had “Oh my God I’m gonna die all the time” anxiety. I’m glad I’m not alone.

I guess it’s unfortunate that so many people have anxiety and depression, but what actually makes me sad are negative attitudes about meds. They very likely saved my life, and what’s better, allowed me to have a life actually worth living.

don’t have time to read the whole thread now but... sad? really? its sad that people are getting treated by professionals who went to school for many years to learn how to care for them? its sad that people feel OK seeking treatment for their ailments? is it sad that a lot of people take insulin, or medication for…

Getting medicine IS dealling with life.

Fuck right off.

If your brain is not uptaking serotonin or dopamine correctly, no amount of exercise or butt-kicking will fix it. There probably are some people that can function on coping skills, but it takes a toll.

Yep. Started Lexapro this year and BOY HOWDY are my days better. I always figured I didn’t need anything because I was capable of getting out of bed, going to work, public speaking, etc. But now I can do those things without my heart constantly racing and my brain constantly worrying things into the ground.

I don’t want to put words in your mouth but I often find that when people question these types of medications, it’s because they don’t view these as real ailments and therefore view the medications as a crutch. There’s two ways to interpret your comment.

When I first started taking anti anxiety pills, it was like a curtain was lifted into my real life.

Indeed. I started on 20 mg citalopram (generic name for Celexa) approximately one year ago, and it is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Thank you science, for giving me myself again.

No, it doesn’t make me sad, it makes me constantly elated and in love with modern science that has produced such a miracle! No more throwing myself against a random building as i walk home because suddenly the sadness of the universe is too much to bear and I’m sobbing....I still get sad and mad and all the other…

NO ONE comes off looking good in that story. She waxes poetic about his mundane movie taste, how awkward and unattractive he is, his awful performance, and most importantly, lies about her age- by omission of course, and so does he.

This is the second time this past week or so, where a suicide is the top story in Dirt Bag. It feels gross. It feels wrong. Do they not deserve a full article?

I accidentally pushed Diddy out of a packed elevator and was only aware of it when someone next to me told me it was him. I just responded smushed up next to everyone else, “he didn’t fit”. I enjoy that memory more in retrospect.
