No such thing as ghosts, or spirits, or zombies, the dead do not come back to life on any form. Once death occurs, kaput, you're dead.

I'm a full time stay at home mom. The pay sucks, I'm under appreciated and there's very few breaks. But I love my job. Once I get my degree though I will be back in the workforce.

Aaaaaaannnd, I'm gonna take me exit before I get in trouble. I'm starting to sound mean, and it doesn't need to go that far. To everyone who shared and helped me to understand, thanks. I'm more understanding now. But before this thread gets anymore hostile I'm gonna take my exit. If this were a topic on inner city…

ROFLMBO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I seriously laughed man. I seriously made you mad enough to wish diseases on me because I asked a question? Awwwwwww MAN!. Since it's impossible to change your mind when people present facts, no wonder the US is so behind when it comes to public policy. Don't worry, nothing you say anymore is…

No, you cannot say I've never been clinically depressed. You don't know me or my childhood well enough to make that deduction. Just because I wasn't crippled to non functioning doesn't mean I wasn't clinically depressed. And if you wouldn't wish that on your worst enemy..... But you'd wish it on me..... Then apparently you…

What gives me the right? I simply asked a question. And leave my sarcasm at the door? Nah. Sorry. I won't. I say whatever the hell I wanna say, just like the people on here do. As far as me being judgemental, let's say that if I was (I wasn't, but ok. People tend to think that if you don't agree with them or coddle them…

Sorry. I misunderstood what you were trying to say. I thought you were saying I've never been clinically depressed. You said I was lucky to not have been clinically depressed. My response should have been are you a psychiatrist who knows what my mental state was at the time? No, ok then, so you can't say I've never been…

*rolls eyes* I posted this in the chit chat section of the forums. Nothing on this section is related to weight loss. As far as all caps, it's called sarcasm. I am sarcastic to people (like you) who instead of responding like an adult to my question decide to be sarcastic themselves. If you understood context (or maybe…

Actually, no I don't. I consider you lucky. I don't necessarily think it's ok. A whole week off work for wisdom teeth? I could barely get a day off when I ended up in the ER when I was pregnant with my son. Queen4028 What are you talking about? Like seriously, I'm talking about helping her. ARE YOU SAYING THAT THERE IS NO…

Haha! Omg I think we are coming from the same place. In clean the entire apartment and my husband will come and leave his clothes on the floor, not put his dishes in the sink. He even will go to the fridge and get something of of it, like Parmesan cheese, use it, leave it out and not put it back in. He knows I will do it…

Sigh. I guess I better prepare for my eyes to get stick in the back of my head. DavPaul- I edited the post because I offended a user. That's not what I intended to do. As for having "tremendous animosity" towards this woman, yeah right. I don't have time to have tremendous animosity about her. If you think my post has…

The last part of your statement is what I learned. I was coming from a physical meaning of disability. I didn't know depression could be so problematic. So why is it classified on such a low degree of severity then, is it because it's capacities can range from minor to severe? I hope your partner gets help, because yeah,…

Once again, going off of what YOU SAID, everybody handles depression differently. Just because I wasn't crippled to the point of not working does not mean I have never been depressed. What made my mom suggest depression to me was me never wanting to get out of bed because I constantly felt sluggish. Like it was hard to…

This is it. I live in an area where I've heard people say, "hey look! You have PTSD? Apply for disability you'll get it!" In college, I know people who applied for disability because they have ADHD. I volunteered in a school where the hyperactive boys were given books and pushed to the back of the classroom, where…

The waste of money was me thinking of it's not helping her overcome her condition then it must be a waste. But I hadn't even thought about how hard it is to go back to work after or during treatment. It was hard for me to go to school when I was in treatment, so having to make money to support yourself and child has got to…

Ok, let me better clarify: She is getting money to live off of. I don't know how much, and it really doesn't matter. I'm saying, would t that money be better spent on treatment instead of letting her continue to live with something so dibilitating? I'm coming from a "help her get better" perspective, but as I can see, it…

No, you don't SEE anything. You have no idea where I've come from, or what I've dealt with when it comes to depression. So no, you don't SEE a thing. Obviously it's not a made up thing. *rolls eyes* So what I have taken from this is, depression widely ranges. It isn't like a physical ailment where you're EXPECTED to get…

@ budgie That's true. I really don't know what all she has tried. However, there are some things about her that kinda tells me she hasn't exhausted all avenues. And I'm very sorry you've had such a battle with depression. See, in my mind I always saw depression as something that has to be overcome, not like an actual…

See, this is the problem. If you can get disability for something like depression, then you should be able to get it if you have cancer, especially if you have a disabled child. You are a survivor ma'am. Awesome for you. I just think we should be trying to FIX the problem. That money could be spent on intensive inpatient…

I'm very sorry. I shortened the work out of sheer laziness. I will go back and fix it. And yes I do. I was clinically depressed for a long time. So was my brother. He was hospitalized because of it, and on meds. But disability was never offered to him to help. My mom has a mental disorder, that I will not disclose. But no…

Thank you for addressing the psychology portion of this. Without going too personal, I think this really applies to me. Very good incite.

Oh wow. Thanks everyone for your responses. I definitely am ready to lose weight, though I see where this person was coming from. It's just when I see the numbers fall, I don't consciously think of it but my mind does tend to think in a conditioned "reward myself" way. I never thought of rewarding myself in other ways…

You know, I like this idea. Instead of treating myself every week after I lose weight I can treat myself after I lose a certain amount of weight. That way I can get used to telling myself, "not yet."

All About the Benjamins..... Specifically MY benjamins....

Eh, none of us can tell you that for sure. You gotta ask him. When it comes to sensitive marital matters and what he thinks or could be doing it's best to just ask him. What if we give you the wrong advice and you act on it. Then he will get offended and upset, you'll think he's being a jerk, or you'll think he isn't…

If I were a dude, sure why not? XD

I'm sure she's going off of your own statements, not what everyone else is saying about you.

And yet, you sat on this thread and called this woman everything from disgusting to basically a burden on society. It's not nice being judged by someone you don't know, is it? Don't be hypocritical. If you are working on becoming a surgeon, I understand you may be coming from a more medical perspective, but don't forget…

You know, I find it really disturbing that an 800 pound dumbass troll can write garbage about his love for eating Twizzlers and steak and some users called his work artistic and creative, yet when we have a beautifully narrated piece about a woman accepting herself for who she is, we call that disgusting. Not everybody…

Heh heh, I know I may not look like it, but I'm definitely a metal head. I'm into Wintersun, Soulfly, Scar Symmetry, Kalmah, just to name a few. I like metalcore too like Killswitch Engage too. My husband can't stand it. He doesn't understand the genius behind metal music. The lyrics are just phenomenal, the guitar riffs…
