| I read a good chunk of his manifesto, primarily because we shared an obsession (WoW) and I was freaked out that I may have known him from the game (I knew a half asian guy with AS while playing). I don't feel sorry for him, and I don't excuse what he did, but I have to admit I identify with the crus... |

| BMI is a mild obsession of mine, but it's pretty obvious that if a person is muscular yet has a high BMI they aren't "fat." I'm not muscular and always try to stay at BMI 19 or below. The highest I've ever been is BMI 21. There also seem to be people who aren't necessarily built but who are perfectl... |

I found the social combined with academic pressure crushing, plus I felt very isolated as everyone else seemed to make friends and social bonds but I was alone except for the occasional boyfriend, and ... |

| "From the beginning he made it very clear that he is not into a relationship because he cannot fulfill his own requirements himself. " Well there's your answer right there. He is not relationship material. His "girlfriend" is his "best friend" while he gets sex from you (or whoever) on the side. You... |

| OK, I just read your last entry and here are my thoughts. You're very depressed right now so don't make any big decisions. You mention suicide. I agree this isn't a cowardly act, but, the truth is most people choose suicide when they are profoundly depressed and thus not thinking clearly. So while i... |

While I don't think I've gotten a free pass being a woman, I will admit my life likely would have been harder if I were a guy with the same issues/ brain/ personality I currently have. & I think I might have been more prone to violence (no offense to guys here).
I will check out your blog! |

It would have been much more compelling if he'd coldly told the group to go, without having his vision and acting bonkers. It makes him look weak when he is otherwis... |

| Most psychologists/ psychiatrists are jerks in my experience. Sorry to put it so bluntly but they all were, and I saw my fair share of them. In fact some of them were downright horrid. Healthcare practitioners, in general, often get very defensive when you walk in with a self diagnosis-- even for re... |

There are some very faithful people in some religions but by and large those big buildings are for socializing. God doesn't need you to go ... |

| About a year ago I stopped eating. I was 45 years old. I went from 129 to 102 lbs within just a few months. It wasn't a self-esteem issue, I liked how I looked at 120-125. I worked out a lot and I was loving my buff bod and taught, juicy booty. I just suddenly started losing the weight. Somehow I b... |

Can't they do a sonogram on the breast instead of a mammogram?
That being said they would have to press very very hard to get the cyst to burst (if that is what it is). |

| None of the sources for this story are named, it's hard to know what is really going on. Remember just recently there was an NYPD officer arrested because he planned to kidnap and eat women and children. It's possible this story is about a deranged, but not starving, man who killed his children. Of ... |
