Separating immigrant families isn’t just wrong, it’s a war crime

Intentionally separating families is objectively wrong, and we must fight it vigorously. No matter what excuses are made, let’s call this what it is: collective punishment. We are punishing children for the possibility…

Loved this piece. Thank you, and couldn’t agree with you more. I too, have struggled with life-long depression, but have been doing (mostly) well for a long time. My depression was primarily related to “pure O” OCD, so your statements about your brain “lying to you” makes perfect sense to me. Cognitive Therapy worked really well for me. The book…

I really love this piece. I’ve had many of the same feelings while writing my own stories about Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade, and suicide. Mister Rogers also comes up in nny discussions of mental health for good reason. Well done.

Thank you for your honesty. I am a psychotherapist and have seen and worked with the “broken brains”. My heart goes out and I have always said that the individual had to be in so much pain to end their life. You are correct, we do suck at dealing with suicide. We need to talk about it in the open.

I truly appreciate your thoughts. I don’t agree with a lot of what was said above, BUT as a Christian and therapist I have DEFINITELY taken away some things to think about. Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable, I truly did enjoy being challenged to grow in my thinking. God bless you!

A very important article. I appreciate this very much.

I look forward to they day where everyone feels able to share their experiences without insurmountable shame so compassion can grow.

Another of life’s wonderful fucked up paradoxes. I feel your loss — I felt love for Anthony. I have lost loved ones. Your writing helps both of us.

Love alwaz

Causes relationships to suffer, work to be inconsistent and life to feel meaningless, but thank God for the tools I’ve been equipped with. I just got through a year and a half stint of being depressed that almost sucked the life…
