Herberger's and Macy's. I don't usually go to Herberger's specifically because it seems geared toward an older crowd. Macy's has a lot of different stuff for all ages, too. Oh, and Catherine's.

Agreed. I've been really pleasantly surprised in the past year or so. I can wear XXL from there and I'm way bigger than 12/14. My wardrobe is increasingly becoming all ON as well, especially because I usually wear jeans and a colored shirt of some sort and a lot of times a hoodie or sweatshirt of another color. I like…

Yep, when Jon Stewart announced it. I just got goosebumps thinking about it. Then I listened to a BBC morning show and heard them talking excitedly about it.

I don't have a child, and I don't like that saying, but it's for a selfish reason. It outlines fears I have of not being able to have children and never being able to experience that feeling. It's like what people say when they are trying to have a baby and failing - it seems like everyone is pregnant and having…

Gotcha. I didn't even think about all that. Thank you! (I'm from the midwest too! Minnesota)

Yeah, the citizen thing is no doubt...but I didn't think about the medical etc. implications. Thanks!

Totally! Thanks!

Let me preface this by saying that I am totally in favor of marriage equality and gay rights. And I hope this isn't perceived as hateful. I was just wondering about what happens if people want to know who are their biological parents, in the case of adoption or something. Is that what the birth certificate is for? I'm…

Yeah, and what about the single mothers who ACTUALLY can't afford not to work? I guess I should've known...that's no way to raise a child, right?

Technically ice isn't snow, but I get it. :) Okay, that makes more sense. I don't love the driving aspect, but I've learned to live with it and be good at it after many instances of TERRIBLE driving conditions where I thought I would die. Not saying that everyone should just deal with it, btw. I totally understand.…

It took me several minutes to figure out what "ggging" was supposed to be. I don't know why.

I don't get why people don't like snow!

Looks like you're just as bad as the bullies. Shaming her even after her death. And like I always say when people take this stance about suicide, that they're cowardly and selfish, fuck that. Seriously. I'm sure lots of others here have stated similar things far more eloquently, so I'll leave them to it. Enjoy your…

Thank you so much for the compliments. I'll have to check out the other sites you mentioned. And sometimes it is hard to remember that there are others like me. I think that's why I've glommed on to this site all of a sudden. We as humans crave to find people like us. I hope you continue to find peace yourself!

I bet it's not helped much by the extreme hormone levels. I'm glad you were able to get through it. Great job!

Okay, yeah, I'll give you that. I know I'm hard on myself. But, it's only myself. And I have been going to therapy for almost 5 years for it, so at least I'm trying to help myself that way! :)

Some of the comments below are so depressing. This article raised my hope a lot, which was then dashed...so maybe I should quit reading the comments!

Well thanks a bunch for that, jerk. We're not ENTITLED to it? I might accept it if you said we're not going to have it, because that's true, but ENTITLED? Fuck that.

It has been so helpful for me, because the comments are positive and promote being happy. Reading everyone's struggles gives me a lot of insight into my own struggles.

I too got the early diabetes a year ago at age 29. I'm extremely fucked up because of it all as well. Supremely fucked up. And I still don't care about my blood sugar. I have denial about diabetes. I know full well all the crap it does to the body, but honestly I don't care. I want it to kill me because it would…
