YES, 100% THIS. I lost over one hundred pounds in my early 20s. I went from my opinion not mattering to actually being a person of importance. Steadily gained the weight back until I was tipping the scales at nearly 300 pounds in 2012. A visit to a doctor (for an unrelated illness) was a wakeup call, and I spend the

I’ve been not fat, I’ve been fat, I’ve been all over the ED spectrum. I’ve never been treated with the amount of incredulity, dismissal and disrespect as I was when I was fat. The actually serious medical problems I had were chalked up to my weight over and over, and I was sent home without any further investigation.

It kills your appetite and gives you diarrhea, which makes it the Model’s Friend if they’re being tested for cocaine and meth.....

Princess Caroline’s storyline just wrecked me last season. 

I’m really looking forward to the new season, while also trying not to because if there’s one thing I’ve learned from BoJack Horseman it’s don’t get your hopes up about anything!

There are so many little funny details that are easy to miss. I remember watching the last season (I think?) and noticed Mr. Peanutbutter was casually talking while washing a kong in the sink. It also manages to deal with more serious subject matter really well, like the episodes on Princess Carolyn’s miscarriages,

I really want to be an architect.

How else is someone falsely accused supposed to respond? Actual question, there’s not much else a man can do to defend himself. People are rightly worked up about the abuse that has gone unrecognized but there is a point where believing all women should be heard and taken seriously morphs into believe women no

It’s not 2018 in this film. It takes place in the 1960's. The beginning of the first film took place in the early 50's and then had a 15 year time jump.  As such, having Elastigirl be the “breadwinner” instead of Mr. Incredible is meant to be even more radical.

My mind is as blown as yours.

I just posted the same question! Confused! What’s going on here?

With a name like Grande? I’m with you, I totally assumed she was.

Honestly, this post is more out of touch than anything else I’ve seen one the show. Have you guys seen the discussions about Dietland on other forums? I went to the AV club to discuss this and couldn’t because the AV Club’s comments sections is clogged with comments about how fat acceptance is like alcoholism

My sister was diagnosed with BPD in her mid-20s after demonstrating symptoms for probably 10+ years. It frustrates me to see how stigmatized it is - I even had a university psych professor who in her brief description of BPD perpetuated pretty much every negative stereotype - manipulative, irrational, etc. It made me

I also work in mental health and totally agree. I think a lot of the stigma is because people are not competent to work with it, so instead of being a professional and trying to grow, they just stigmatize the population.

Especially considering BPD is frequently a misdiagnosis for people (especially women) with a history of abuse and have developed C-PTSD.

Considering that some regard The Rock as the pinnacle of manliness, and part of Khaled’s statement was about there being “different rules for The King,” yeah I do think it was helpful. Besides, when stuff like this comes out about celebrities, no one cares what normal jamokes do; the only real counter is another

It is a good thing. What bad could possibly come of this man’s man admitting that he pleasures his wife and aspires to be good at it?

What? This case IS about the crimes committed. You mean this article? Cause there wouldn’t be article in the first place if apparently “this guy’s wife” hadn’t spent a lot of time working on this case and helped the police. You can’t ignore the fact that the police had nothing for years and years then it comes out the

Except plenty of people are attracted to more than just the two primary biological genders. There’s a spectrum in between male and female that bisexuality doesn’t fit.
