FYI Ladies, The Pill Is Definitely Linked To Depression




Well, ladies, for the millions of us who take birth control, we can breathe a little easier. There has finally been a study released that confirms there is a link between depression and the pill. While I know it may seem like old news because it’s something we are all too familiar with, it is important that the scientific community is finally talking about it. 


And it’s about time! I remember when a friend of mind started taking the pill, she became both anxious and extremely depressed, but of course it didn’t seem to dawn on anyone that her birth control could be the cause. She isn’t the only one to be faced with that problem as it has been one for nearly as long as the pill has existed. This is a promising breakthrough and will hopefully spur some more much-needed research! 


I am eager to hear your stories and your thoughts about this new research! Be sure to COMMENT and let me know! 











In the U.S., 62% of women at a reproductive age use contraception.


The largest part of that statistic is the 11 million who take the birth control pill. Yeah, I know, that’s a lot. 




That is why it was so shocking that in a recently released study…


…it was finally acknowledged that there is a link between the pill and depression.











In the study that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Psychiatry…


…researchers from the University of Copenhagen confirmed there is a link after completing a study of a million women between the ages of 15 and 34. The study happened over 13 years and is the largest of its kind.They found some pretty staggering results.

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2. You’re drunk and your oven is broken… And you really want pizza… 3. So you deep fry your pizza Drunk you is so smart. 4.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
