I have several mental illnesses, and I'm a loner as well. I've never even entertained the idea of killing anyone. Most mentally ill people don't. It seems there is this stigma surrounding mentally ill people that we could "snap" at any minute and go on a rampage.. it isn't like that at all. Speaking just for myself, I just want to be left alone most of the time. Also, I have lots of compassion for children, and could never even imagine hurting one.

I have to say, the shooting in CT really depresses me. It makes me lose hope in the human race. Even more so when people try to blame it on mental illness... sickening.
