And in our conservative Christian circles, where mental health issues were seen as a result of not having enough faith, taking medication was actively disparaged. And antidepressants did help, until several years later when a doctor (who wasn’t a psychiatrist) convinced me I should go off medication. Therapy on its own wasn’t working because the depression felt so oppressive. Taking medication for mental illness already holds a fair amount of stigma. Many people already feel ashamed for taking medications for their mental health; many more may not even consider medication as an option for fear of being judged or stereotyped as crazy or weak.

“Please note that, by this memorandum, OPM is not directing agencies to take any specific performance-based actions regarding probationary employees,” reads the updated OPM guidance. This is almost certainly a factor in the Trump administration’s decision to suddenly revise its OPM guidance. But the judge’s ruling last week has resulted in some federal agencies scrambling to rehire people they just fired. The National Science Foundation, for one, is trying to reinstate 84 employees it fired as part of OPM’s directive. “The government has not followed any of those [rules] in terminating employees to date, to include the mass firing of probationary employees,” Wilson said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Trump administration on Monday announced it is suspending U.S. aid to Ukraine in an effort to force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into a negotiation with the U.S. on ending the war — a long-standing demand of Donald Trump.

A worker at the National Weather Service is warning of the devastating impact recent mass firings at the agency could have when the next natural disaster strikes.

Jimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump’s disastrous Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week was “about as embarrassing as it gets.”“This might’ve been Trump’s most mortifying moment yet, and this is a guy who suggested we inject bleach into our bodies,” Kimmel said. Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Zelenskyy in a meeting held in front of reporters and broadcast on television. “Even his aides said they hadn’t seen Trump yelling at a foreigner like that since the last time Melania locked him out of the bedroom,” Kimmel cracked. The scene was “so humiliating,” Kimmel said, that Trump’s allies had to rush to claim otherwise on TV, with one Fox News personality saying he should get the Nobel Peace Prize. “Let’s give him the Heisman too while we’re at it.”He added that siding with Trump is now basically the same as siding with Putin.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s long-threatened tariffs against Canada and Mexico went into effect Tuesday, putting global markets on edge and setting up costly retaliations by the United States’ North American allies.
