That's how Rebecca Bunch, a character on the CW's  Crazy Ex-Girlfriend , played by Rachel Bloom, described herself after being  diagnosed  with  borderline personality disorder  on the show. That hasn't been the only mention of BPD in pop culture recently. In May,  Saturday Night Live 's Pete Davidson took to Instagram Stories to talk about his own experience with BPD—and how, contrary to what some of his critics think, those with borderline personality disorder can maintain successful relationships. "Just because someone has a  mental illness  does not mean they can’t be happy and in a relationship,” he wrote. “It also doesn’t mean that person makes the relationship toxic. I just think it’s f*cked up to  stigmatize people as crazy  and say that they are unable to do stuff that anyone can do. It’s not their fault and

#MikeBloonberg #SocialSecurity #Health #Housing #Retirement Mike Bloomberg released plans to shore up Americans' retirement on Sunday, promising to increase Social Security retirement benefits and create a government-backed savings plan for workers at all income levels.

Justin's comments come amid reports he's been getting treatment for depression. He addresses some of
