Stranger danger

Today, my five-year-old daughter is absolutely miserable and constantly putting herself down, as she has been for a week. What happened a week ago? She bumped into a stranger at Walmart, apologized, and the guy told her, “Nope, not good enough. You need to die.” Who says that to a child? FML

Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML

Serotonin is the chemical produced by the brain that makes you feel “happy”. Most antidepressants work by affecting the serotonin balance in your body. Either she read an article about serotonin and wants to “get happy” or she could be a clever child suffering from depression and this is her way letting you know that.

Maybe she'll end up being an endocrinologist? Since she already knows what the hormone serotonin is.

Well, yes, puberty causes fluctuations in hormones. She probably *was* depressed. If she doesn't snap out of it in a week or two, see a doctor, because sometimes puberty can cause depression.

Today, my dad's boss called our house and I answered. He said, "Is your dad home?" I replied, "I'll go check." I put the phone on mute and asked my dad if he wanted to talk to his boss. My dad says, "Does that asshole not have a life?" Turns out the phone wasn't on mute, it was on speaker. FML

Today, I was the designated emotional support person for my friend's mom as she went to have her sick cat put down. The cat was aggressive towards the male vet. She said, "She doesn't like men" to which the vet replied, "Well, soon that won't be a problem." The willpower it took both of us to not yell at him, or worse… FML
