That is, um, terrifying.

I’d very much like to

Hoo ha

Thank you, that’s awesome

One lobotomy, please.

FUCK.

But, like, what happened?

When I was a kid, my grandmother worked at one of the Catholic churches where the priest had been accused of sexually abusing children. I had been to this church, shaken this man’s hand.

During this time, my grandma appeared on the news, wildly pleading, “He’s a good man! He did nothing wrong!” I remember my father’s crazed laughter as he manically searched for a VHS tape to record the scene.

I get regular cravings for papaya. I am a masochist.

Not if they can convince people that his conviction is some kind of liberal plot to silence him.

“It’s”

My dumbass Republican father wants to do away with USPS entirely and rely solely on existing private businesses, such as FedEx or UPS.

He lives in Tucson, AZ. So, not exactly country. But he’s fucking stupid.

Aww, neat!

I am an idiot.

Where I live? Hot dogs and polishes.

Say this to an Irishman, mate.

Either/or. Often times it’s the primary disease, other times it’s secondary. It is a disease of its own right, but can be the consequence of other diseases - whether psychological, neurological, or physical.

Tremor is maybe a more direct comparison than a cold. You can have essential tremor, in which tremors are idiopathic and the primary diagnosis. On the other hand, tremors can also be symptom of multiple sclerosis. It just depends on the individual.

Frequently, it’s a chicken or the egg situation. Did the individual develop PTSD because they were already predisposed to/experiencing depression or did they become depressed after developing PTSD?

Sometimes depression is also just a natural consequence of being sick and/or disabled. Chronic pain, physical limitations, the inability to maintain a healthy social life, poverty as a consequence of disability - it can really take a toll on your mental health.

Is there something you can actually do about this or do I have to just grit my teeth and try to disassociate every time I have a meal with another human being?
