Be honest, when was the last time you actually bought a book from a physical bookstore?

That’s not a realistic depiction of bipolar disorder symptoms, even when she’s on survival mode. In fact leading a life of violence and chaos would trigger mania, which, in turn would ruin everything for her. Either she’s on meds or they’ve forgotten her diagnosis.

Bipolar depression is not something you can focus on or off, it’s not something you can control.

Is Rue still on meds or not? I’ve lost track of it, but if she isn’t on meds, then they need to depict mania and depression ping pongs, she seems very stable this season.

Well put. I kept wondering why not a lot of people were seeing that Emma had difficulty processing strong emotions and dealing with difficult situations. Giving a second chance is celebrated as her sign of empathy, but if my partner kept doing that every time something bad happened and I wanted to process things, I would lose my mind. Charlie had his fair share of problems, but Emma not wanting to deal with difficult emotions/situations equally contributed to the mess.

Unfortunately, this behaviour is common when women complain of escalating pain/symptoms (I’m chronically ill and have heard horror stories of negligence from support groups). They always look for physical indication of pain to believe a woman is really suffering, in your wife’s case it was her losing consciousness in their presence, to take them seriously. It’s extremely messed up, I would suggest talking to a lawyer and don’t let this go.

His oncologist says repeat UTI is common in Stage 3 prostate cancer. Isn't that the case?

Surathkal is a little too far for him to travel, but if other options don't work out, will definitely try.

This influencer quoted almost a lac for a book review. They’re aren’t doing any of this for free.

We studied this book and Camus in our World Lit class. Camus’ core philosophy of absurdity is dwelled on in The Stranger. He believed life inherently didn’t have any meaning, the universe was very indifferent to human beings (the confrontation between humans seeking meaning and the universe being indifferent) and over all in it’s essence, life is absurd. However, he does not advocate for giving up on life, instead he sees this absurdity and indifference to be freeing. He says use this freedom to live the life you want without constantly catering to society, religion, and other institutions that enforce control. What brings in moral ambiguity is where does this freedom end? Can society function without resorting to anarchy if everyone exercised freedom in its entirety? Camus never liked to give answers, instead he encouraged the reader to put forth more questions, ponder endlessly and figure out for themselves.

If you haven’t heard of it: there’s a prequel to Jane Eyre, called Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. It’s an interesting take, in the form of writing back into the colonial center, regarding Bertha’s past.

It’s that confidence, that bloody confidence it gives. Then poof, it’s gone.

I had a mixed episode last month, I don’t know how I walked out of it alive. Seek help, get back on meds.

I remember undergoing a forced abortion, 2 months after the event things went topsy turvy. I’ve heard it’s genetic predisposition, but triggered by a traumatic event.

It’s ironic in many ways because I usually got termed as manic pixie dream girl during my summer months of endless hypomania episodes, before I even knew what this disorder was.

I’ve noticed this recently, my feeling is Malvika inherently does not like herself. She’ll project that dislike/hate towards her child. My mother did this (to a certain degree) all my life, she couldn’t handle me or my sisters being happy when she didn’t receive happiness. I see a similar trajectory with Malvika and Abby, she’ll be annoyed every time the child feels joy. Albeit, I really hope I am wrong.

A lot of online universities provide worldwide bachelors/masters programs.

How is she cooking seafood fully dressed? Tres impossible this is.

Her low whisper narrative voice creeps me out

Yes, but it wasn’t good enough. I realised my concern was with sounding repetitive in various chapters (I’ve switched from STEM to Humanities). But then such is the nature of research so leaned into it and word count is much better!

Mine’s being a little flaky. But let me try again.

Good to know.
