Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I really don't like how all the secrets are identified. If I don't know what it's from then I don't care.

126 I used to watch it in college, but I stopped after I graduated, mostly because most of the time I'm working while it's on. I watched it back when Kirsten Storms (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0832653/) was Belle Black, before she had to leave the show (since she still had a contract with Disney, so I guess her character couldn't have sex or something).

137 Because all hipsters like the same shit. Anyway I'm sure you're very proud of yourself.

142 I'm bipolar (and tried to kill myself, and have manic episodes -- like the one I had last night where somehow I gashed my knee wide open enough to need stitches and a tetanus shot, but I don't remember how I did it) and I've yet to find an anime character that will cure my mania or my problem with alcohol. I mean, what the fuck. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain.

159 God, I didn't realize it had gotten that bad.
And Tite's style is the only reason I'm even marginally interested in his comics.

165 And you weren't proud of being Jewish already because............??

She replied a page or two back saying she thought Judaism was "misogynistic."

Yeah, I noticed after I made this comment.
I disagree with her on that, but whatever. All of the Jewish women I've known seem more empowered and independent than your average woman.
Basically it seems like most Jews feel bad about being Jewish at least once, even if they aren't self-loathing to the point of denial (I think my mother is).

Yeah I notice that too, about empowered and independent.

I'm surprised more people haven't found this secret a tiny touch questionable.

I think it's absolutely normal for Jews to feel bad about being Jews. If nothing else society makes you feel bad about being Jewish. Antisemitism is still very prevalent, it just finds new guises.

Yeah, that's how I originally read the secret. I know I should be proud of being Jewish for Judaism's sake, but also strong Jewish characters like Cuddy make me feel more secure in myself. The OP's explanation that Judaism is bad for women though... woah. No, no, no.

I also have bipolar. And guess what, you need to give things a chance before you decide that it's impossible. Maybe there's been nothing in your life that touches you or makes you have second thoughts about doing something everyone you love will regret, but that doesn't mean that just because it hasn't happened for you that it won't happen for anyone else.

Like someone in another comment said, for all we know, Jesus is just a fictional character, and look how many lives he's saved.

If there's one thing I've learned from bipolar II, Kamina and 142, it's that you never stop searching for something to help you, you never take anything for granted, and just because other people think you're a fool, you're never a fool if it saves your life.

I suppose I understand even if I want to think being inspired by a character is silly and ridiculous.

And if I really think about the character that "saved my life" was Kai Shiden in Mobile Suit Gundam (a character written by a bipolar person), but mostly because I recognized that he acted a lot like me, and was able to change from being a very negative and cynical individual to someone who was useful to others and had a purpose to continue fighting. I don't credit him with "saving my life" but I guess I can recognize that I started re-examining who I was and how I relate to other people because of the character.

tl;dr I take back what I originally said about 142

Also, thanks for the encouragement. It's so easy to write a rude or scathing reply to something on F!S and you could have, but you chose not to, so thank you.

That's kind of touching. I think that's great.

I'm sorry for being so harsh, but everyone kinda needs a little push, here and there ^^

Maybe it's just because, a few months ago, I was really cynical myself, and made fun of people for it. But... sometimes, real people who you love fail you. Badly. And that's when you take what you can get *shrugs*

I wish you luck with your bipolar, and hope you heal quickly. The first step to recovery is knowing no one is completely independent >.>

I'm making no sense, am I? Sorry...

I completely agree. No one's claiming it's a miracle cure, but for some people it can give them something to hang on to when they have nothing else.

It just makes me feel bad for people who have no one else or feel they have no one else. I know some people don't have loved ones who understand their condition and so it may be necessary for them to put their faith in fictional characters for encouragement, but that kind of depresses me. In all actuality it was my husband who was there for support and kept me alive for the past five years. So if all I had was a character I probably would've committed suicide a long time ago.

Butting my nose in here, but: I think it's more complex than that, or at least it can be. Relating to the character can be a kind of therapy. As a suicidally depressed teenager I had people who loved me, although didn't understand my condition (didn't recognize it was one until later), but no one I felt understood. I became a deranged Phantom of the Opera fan because here was a character who could understand my pain, who truly felt it, and who I could escape with and hide away under the opera house and who'd bump off my enemies for me. Who was also a musical genius. I don't mean I really thought that was going to happen, lol, but it served a weird emotional need. It was also cathartic, crying to the story was a way of letting out pain.

Later as I got involved in fandom activities I ended up meeting real people who actually understood or shared my feelings, so it turned out to be a practical help too.
