rap- it's true that there are many different types of intelligence...one thing i think tho is ppl who are more intellectually/academically smart tend to think too much and maybe that's the problem!

drunksunflower - i know what u mean, it's like on one hand you have everything but there is just something missing which leaves u feeling like u got nothing. comforting to know someone else in this country has the same problem lol!

p.s. apparently SI and eating disorders have a lot in common in terms of underlying causes,etc...at least that's what i've heard.
