    Do You Have a Mental Disorder and How Much Does it Affect You?

    I struggle with lifelong severe depression. My first attempt to die was drowning at age 7 with a couple other attempts in later years (even survived a hanging...barely). Some days, it is a struggle to get much done. While I did go to college, worked as an esl teacher, published a book, I can't...

    Strange things that get your blood boiling

    Hearing someone snore makes me really upset. I am unable to sleep and I almost take it as a personal slight. Also, I can't stand the sound of people chewing. Gum smacking/chewing is the worst. I even take a bite, maybe chew once and then swallow food. My favorite foods are the ones where I...

    Halloween costumes!

    To a couple Halloween parties, I'm going as a plague doctor with my black cloak, plague doctor mask, and a black spanish hat. For one party, I have to take a bus and subway there so I might wear it through the city on the way.

    The worst pain you've ever felt

    It is a toss between three things I fainted and smacked the back of my head against a corner of a metal fireplace. Then I stood up and took two steps and fell backwards like a domino, smacking the same spot against the hard wood floor. Half of my head was covered in blood. Then there was...

    Self imposed challenges

    In Fallout New Vegas, I only wear a dress, summer bonnet, and glasses while playing hard mode. Also for DDR, I can beat legend of max on expert without using the bar behind the dance pad for balance.

    Worst song you've ever heard?

    Whether you are religious or not, I think we can all agree that this song is awful. It is called "Christian Side Hug' which is a rap trying to convince people that regular hugs are too close to actual sex and thus evil.

    When are you actually you?

    I'm not really sure. Thing is that I've been severely depressed, multiple attempts on my own life, since I was a child. While events in life contribute to this, it is more malfunctioning pre-frontal cortex (which can explain my near non existent appetite) and I believe another area near my...

    Why is under-eating more demonized than overeating in society?

    While I do think overeating is demonized way more. There are a few situations where under-eating can make people angry. Some people take it as a personal insult if you turn down offered food, especially if they were the ones who cooked it. Also there are some people who wish they could eat...

    Poll: Eccentric eating habits

    That is probably a big reason though I don't do that often. I'm also in the "severe anorexia" bmi and I've read that being very underweight increases thirst and hunger signals shutting down.

    Poll: Eccentric eating habits

    I can't stand mushy food or food touching each other. I swallow a lot of my food whole (though cut into reasonable pieces). I'm never hungry, but I have a near insatiable thirst. I sometimes "snack" on pure salt and view regular eating as a chore that I often forget to do.

    "Ow! My pancreus!" What is the worst you've ever felt?

    ...bit personal to mention but here it goes... Two Sundays ago, I was in the ER for gastrointestinal problems and was suffering such dehydration that I was going into convulsions. I am also only 104 pounds and I'm 5 foot 7 (dealing with about 15 years of a version of anorexia that has gone...

    I would like to present to you, Escapist, what many are calling "the worst anime of all time".

    Well, I watched some of it and I actually was intrigued. As for the animation, I hate to say, but it is a bit of fresh air to not see the stereotypical white, big eyed, colorful hair characters. I'm not saying it is great animation, but I am relieved to see something that looks different. It...

    Dude looks like a lady!

    ^^ Hormones have wonderful results. I transitioned years ago and I live my life as a girl without anyone thinking differently. As for dating a friend, I feel that the best relationships come from being friends first. Now if you are attracted to them because of the allure or tabooness of...

    A terrible plague upon the Escapist... (Please set an avatar)

    Glad I'm not the only one seeing many people with that flashing Full Metal Jacket one. It is actually making me rather nauseous. I have one bad eye and it actually kind of gives me this motion sickness feeling -_-. Hope it clears up cause till then I need to stay off the forums.

    Have you ever "got" the girl/guy?

    I actually cried to sleep thinking back to this moment, because it was one of the few happiest moments in my life. Time and again, I've had potential relationships fail, because of my low self esteeem. To this day, I'd never forgive myself for ruining moments where people were actually...
