| So I suppose no real interest or knowledge from the community. I suppose at some level it is just getting my thoughts and feelings out there. I have a more general question now. I have issues with communication, one of the most difficult things being that I can come off as argumentative or condescen... |

| Medications are always a tossup for efficacy. There are relatively new tests for chemical imbalance in the brain well one specific chemical and it requires a spinal tap to test. There are many treatments for depression or mood disorders that are not medications. Nothing is easy with the mental healt... |

| Wasting time is believing you can determine the future. Perhaps keeping in contact and not overthinking it or trying to make it a LDR might be positive. Also a thought is that Tinder is a hookup App use it as such primarily. |

| I will eventually get to the point but I have a few pieces that paint a picture first. I suppose first and foremost I should express what I mean by not quite NT. Perhaps they are Neuro Typical in the normal context people on the spectrum may use. I don't know that a person with BPD (Borderline Perso... |

| Overweight is relative. And BMI is useless except for a cursory look at best. I am around a 33 on the BMI, I was at 27 - 28 BMI when I was rowing competitively and around 8% body fat. I was Overweight by the system, but even with working out hard 4-5 hours a day I was not "healthy" based o... |

| I'm not certain if that is a good result for you or not. I think it is somewhat like telling an employer that you are taking another job and them trying to convince you to stay with a higher compensation package. In those situations it can result in you coming into the line of fire so to speak. In a... |

| I think that if you want a relationship, and don't have a read on the person you should consider being clear about your feelings, and ask her to be straight with you about her feelings. If things are mutual then great, if not at least things are clear, If you are fine with her being your roommate ei... |

| I think it helps to be a jack of all trades in IT roles, especially starting out in IT. That being said if you are doing networking and get a ccna, and possibly some further certification you might be able to get a job in networking at a larger company. In small companies you absolutely find people ... |

I feel that in the case of terminal illness where its suicide or another 6 months of pain and suffering perhaps. Now this is not to say I haven't cons... |
