Psych Central has posted the 2007 Best of the Web -Depression Blogs.
There are a number of blogs in there I haven’t read before, I’ll definitely be taking a look. Perhaps while I sit at JFK tonight waiting for my delayed flight home. At least there’s wifi!!
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, and while to many of you that simply means green beer and parades, to me, and many other Irish-Americans it means something else entirely. You see, in Ireland, traditionally, St. Patrick’s Day has not been a big party. In fact, most see it as a very holy, somber day. There…
Pin If you aren’t a big sports fan, please indulge me for a minute, because this story, while it takes place in the football world, isn’t really about football. It’s about stigma, and also blaming the victim. In a nutshell, Dak Prescott, the Quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, gave an interview in which he talked about…
