Sounds like me.

You know, except for the part that "hadn't slept with a woman in 19 
years" makes it sounds like he's doing far, far better than I ever will. 
Fortunately for the world at large, I'm also sane enough to realise that 
killing lots of random innocant people isn't going to achieve anything 
positive. (And I live in a country where it's illegal to own a gun...)

I do sometimes think about trying to kill myself just to get some 
attention. You know, cos maybe if I tried to kill myself, the 
authorities would actually take some notice when I say "I want help". 
Fortunately, most of the time I'm sane enough to realise that this is a 
very, very bad plan.
