  • Dietcokeandglitter 9 years ago on The Truth About Adderall, And Why Those Who Suffer From ADHD Are Absolutely Not "Lucky"

    Thank you so much for this article! I feel like people don’t understand that we need our meds to function, they don’t give us a leg up, they just help us function more like everyone else.
    ADHD isn’t just hyperactivity and being unable to focus, it can really impact your executive functioning skills, which can make simple things feel overwhelming when your brain can’t break down a process into steps.
    Thanks to medication and air of hard work I found ways to work around my brain and graduate near the top of my high school class and get a full academic scholarship to a good college but I can’t imagine where I’d be without meds.

  • Dietcokeandglitter 9 years ago on 23 Things You Should Probably Thank Your Gay Best Friend For

    I like this article and the message that it sends, but the whole “gay best friend” thing has always felt kind of icky and based on stereotypes to me. It also can objectify gay men as some kind of accessory (there are SO MANY articles on how to acquire a “GBF” like you’d acquire a new bag) instead of a human being that you have an authentic, mutual connection with.
    My best friend is gay and I think it kind of diminishes our relationship to refer to him as a “gay best friend”, like why should it need a qualifier?

  • Dietcokeandglitter 9 years ago on I'm Skinny But I Should Still Be Allowed To Hate My Body

    I just love this article!
    I get the dirtiest looks when I complain about having disproportionately large boobs. Like I’m underweight and super muscular (visible 6 pack) and still manage to have 30E boobs on a 5’8″ 120 pound frame. Clothes don’t fit and forget about buying a swimsuit or sports bra.
    I think we all just need to accept that everyone has insecurities and they are all valid, as much as it annoys me when girls bitch about having small boobs i get that they feel the same way when I bitch about my melons and all of our feelings are valid
