I feel I am wasting my time compared to my fellow peers. I had a relapse at the start of the term and had to drop 2 of the 3 courses I was taking. Now I am down to one course and I have missed 3 weeks of classes since my sleeping pattern is completely reversed. I'm a bit defeated for I have far too much free time and no one to spend time with. I'm checking emails, bloglovin', facebook and tumblr all the time and even jumped into the twitter foray. I have a short attention span and I'm avoiding writing the 3 papers I owe this course (it's two terms) I can text friends who are busy with either school or work but I have neither of these things going for me.
I've started a photoshop course but it is only 5 classes so perhaps I'm learning some sort of useful skill. Other than that I have very little going on in my life which is disappointing.
I'm very disappointed in myself for breaking down during the term forcing me to withdraw from courses. I've been at university for 3 years and I've only managed to complete three courses. That means I've been a first year for three years and this September it will be for the fourth year because I require 30 credits in order for second year status.
I'm trying to stay away from tumblr and bloglovin' and get away from all this fashion frivolity that has become the huge distraction from facing some responsibilities. But I feel so utterly directionless and lost.
Aaah these excuses and past disappointments do more to stop me than anything else. When I cannot fall asleep at night I'm gripped with the fear that my transcript must be a nightmare. Multiple fails and withdrawals and three years with only three courses completed cannot look good if I intend to continue onto graduate school. I hate myself for not even being able to attend one class and I feel it is very disrespectful to my professor who has been so kind and understanding.
Instead I am left to wander the streets of downtown looking at frivolous things like clothing but being broke I cannot buy anything and I feel so empty. What is the purpose of owning a nicely curated closet if there is no place to wear it to? What is the purpose of reading countless articles if there is no one to discuss it with?
As much as I do like spending time to myself, when you are alone for so many days, it is not healthy. I know I must start exercising but...excuses.
It is a weariness that keeps me at a standstill.

Wow this I can relate to this blog a lot. If only she was alive today maybe we could have talked about some stuff. RIP
I agree. I'm experiencing this again for the fifth time. And knowing that she was once alive makes me feel 10x worse.
Judging by these blog posts, I believe she took her own life. She didn't take her meds that night thus had a psychotic episode. Her behaviour in the elevator looked like she was in a cognitive dissonance of whether or not she should take her own life. And sadly she did because she perceived death as a better choice than a lonely life not doing well enough in school and had no one to talk to during her depression spells.
This story has way too many inconsistencies and unexplained happenings to be a suicide. There is no way! If you loom at the fact that the water tank was on a secured and alarmed ceiling alone..that's enough to warrant incredible suspicion. I pray for justice for her.
why she choose cecil hotel, she had planned it
I cry and pray for this young woman's soul. I wish I had known this person so I may have been able to speak to her about these things. I've been suicidal before, and I even attempted suicide once.I know the pressures of school and what psychological faults can do to a person. But I can only imagine how another person must have felt confronting all of these things on their own. With no one to talk to and seeming to have given up on life all together. I don't know whether she took her own life or not, but I'll weep for her.
But it was easy to get to the roof via the fire escape, as shown by the Chinese investigators. And the lid for the cistern was not heavy at all, approximately 20 lbs, plus it was hinged, making it easy to open it. The maintenance worker testified he found it open. If she was murdered I imagine the killer(s) would close the lid.
One thing I was wrong about- that particular cistern had a fully removable lid, one or two of the others had hinged lids. And as I said, the maintenance worker who found her testified that he found it open ie. completely removed. If someone had killed her they would almost definitely close the lid.
There's no way this was a suicide. People go to a hotels for as a form of accommodation. Even if I wanted to commit suicide think of going to a water tank. Can be affordable but unimaginable.
This isn't what I've heard. I've seen footage of high tanks and statements that the lid was on. Needing a ladder to climb. I've seen footage where they had to cut a square hole in the side of the tank to remove her body ..
Hi everyone. I do not know what she's going through but; if you experience this stuff please ask for help from family or professionals. You don't want to stop your life before its begun. She can't have kids, get married, get an awesome job, become wealthy or anything everyone wants. She could've been able to, if she was alive. I can't imagine going through that. It must be awful..... I just want to say to you Elisa lam,
You are loved and remembered by all. Xxx from - TheGirlThatCares.
What happened Elise? You are loved and wanted <3
Accident, plain and simple...
I would give anything to have been with you during this time Elisa. All my love.
I don't think it's possible for her to suicide in that way. the hotel declared w/o key, no way to enter or alarm would be heard and outside fire escape stair didn't high enough to the roof(especially in her situation I don't think she can). if police can tell more details such as when did she went to 14th floor, which floor her last room is, with or w/o toilet, that could explain why she pressed those buttons. certainly the hotel employees may forget locked the door if the escape door both not auto locked but they can't admit or they are responsible. if it is/were the case then people live there could tell. And where they put the stair to climb water tank? she lost her cell phone, w/o flash light I don't think she can do it. she didn't plan to suicide or the police/employees can prove she more than once went to 14th floor, and still bought a gift for her family. if only she could tell more about how she found her cell phone lost, could some one stole from her room or she lost while went out such as to buy a gift? who she called during the trip? I don't think we could know more. the less informations we get the less pressure for police dept. especially those "invisible".
I feel like I'm wasting my life too...it's like everyone is going forward and I'm just stuck. Everyone seems to have their life figured out...I've been taken out of track so many times and now I don't know how to go back,or if I even want to.
One of the most mysterious cases in recent history, the more you look into it the more connections you find.
You're at peace now.
Rest well ...
I feel funny to say this. I know you'll never read or even reply.
Really really sorry to say this.
Everytime I feel sad or depressed, I always open this blog.
I feel better reading your words. I feel like I'm not the most unlucky person anymore. I'm not feeling worthless.
Sorry. And thank you

Different dog.
I feel same thoughts, but they never got answered.
All in all, life ends one day and nothing worries anymore.
So curious... This blog perhaps still saving many peoples lives despite its owner is not with us and passed away... Thank you for that, etherfield. RIP.

(Galatea) Ya know the story about Elisa Lam, the girl in the elevator who was hiding from something. Then she went out to talk to it, and she started waving her hands weirdly. So, I wanted to ask what did she see or what was she running from?
[ Elisa Lam Elevator footage https://youtu.be/3TjVBpyTeZM ]
A: Golem!
Q: (Galatea) It looked like Gollum?
(L) It's a Jewish monster.
(Pierre) Made from mud.
(Galatea) It was actually a mud monster?
A: Close.
Q: (Galatea) Must freak you out to see that!
(Perceval) Did she herself climb into the water tank?
A: No
Q: (Perceval) How did she get into that water tank?
A: Spacetime distortion.
Q: (Atreides) But a golem is an instrument of revenge created by someone to kill or protect somebody else. So, if it's a golem, who sent it and why was it targeting a Canadian Chinese girl in Los Angeles?
A: Target practice. There is a reason that Galatea thought of it at this moment.
Q: (L) So, we're talking about some kind of thing that blows open realm curtains?
A: Yes
Q: (L) And things come through?
A: Yes
Q: (Atreides) So nobody sent the golem after her?
A: Not specifically.
Q: (L) So, it's just kinda like mothman or something.
(Approaching Infinity) A golem is this Jewish myth kind of thing, and they said target practice...
(L) Don't get stuck on the Jewish myth thing.
(Approaching Infinity) Yeah, but we've talked about energy weapons, and target practice. And Mossad...
(L) Golem, Kabbalists...
(Chu) And two girls missing due to spacetime distortion...
(Andromeda) And funny enough, me and Perceval just watched an episode of the X-Files about a golem a few nights ago.
(L) Oh my god!
(Andromeda) And last night it was about an airplane crash due to alien interference!
(L) Okay, creeped out now... Well, we're gonna...
(Galatea) Wait, when Elisa Lam was moving her hands in this really bizarre way in the elevator video, why was she moving her hands like that?
A: Trying to persuade the creature to leave her alone.
Q: (Perceval) Is something that only she could see?
A: Yes
Q: (Perceval) So, it kind of like created some kind of alternate reality around her, or she was transported into a parallel...
A: Partly.
Q: (Galatea) It was attuned to her specifically.
(Perceval) A bleedthrough, yeah.
(Atreides) So, what did the golem that's not a golem want from her?
A: Energy.
Q: (Galatea) Does that golem live in that specific place, or was that a one-time thing?
A: The location has useful energy patterns for such purposes.
[ Information on the hotel Elisa Lam stayed at: _http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/before-the-ghost-photo-the-disturbing-gruesome-past-of-the-cecil-hotel/story-fnizu68q-1226813853089 ]
Q: (L) So basically, there are just people who have these things and who like sit in their little control booths or something, and... I mean like all these missing people in this Missing 411 book... Somebody is just frickin' playing with the human race!
A: Yes

Blaming it on her bipolar is pathetic. I'm bipolar and it was said she wasn't having suicidal thoughts. Also you don't just miss a dose then go crazy guys.
Bipolar states can lead to Mania where you get dissociated and possibly act like she was, but that is triggered normally by some emotional event, such as being chased and hiding in an elevator. If anything she could have been Hypomanic, meaning she wasn't quite manic but instead she would walk around, talk to strangers at length about random things, look at the post about her saying shes said being isolated and wants to talk. Bipolar people get something called pressured speech, any predator could see that and know they could manipulate her. Everyone else said she was acting normal accept the girls in her first room who said she was "odd" which was all they said.
You don't just miss a dose and go, welp i'm dying today or turn into some monster. Have some respect for mental health.
For the person asking what floor she was first with a group of girls on the 5th floor but moved down to the 4th floor. 4 means death in Chinese superstition. Her DNA stopped on the 9th floor and was never found above besides where she laid to rest.
❤️❤️❤️
The quote she included as her bio doesn't help. either, it was along the lines of 'the idea that you're wasting your life will haunt you.'

After watching the documentary on Netflix about the Cecil hotel and Elisa Lam left me in despair and heartbreak. Even though the way she passed is questionable i feel she is finally at peace with herself.Her blogs and her spirit is what carries her on. She loved the internet i bet she is amazed at how much people can understand her and her mental health. RIP ELISA LAM YOU ARE LOVED!
not sure, the reports say her rectum was prolapsed (hanging out). And they say its "inconclusive". I wouldn't go to that area of town at night alone unless I had to. And I think it would be terrifying to spend the night. The whole city seems to think of that area and some residents as throw away. Its even called Skid Row officially. So cold. I dont think she went swimming. 💐😢
That would be awesome. And why are they protecting that hotel? I read its supposed to be a landmark! Are they kidding?
also bipolar doesnt prolapse your anus. This needed to have been investigated. And I think should be reclassified as a possible homocide that way it can remain open for new tech/developments . Murder would seem as common in that area as suicide to me. And she was obviously vulnerable.
I think I said this but I agree. And bipolar doesnt prolapse your anus. Hers was. And why would a young girl committing suicide remove all her clothes first?
i feel the same way. wish u were still alive because im going through the same stuff. idk if there's an afterlife and if that afterlife permits you to read/listen to posts on ur blog -- doubt it -- but in the off chance that you can read this. you are loved! you are amazing! you undoubtedly left your mark on the world. ur legacy continues. forever.
hoping you are well now. keep on fighting in life. Gutter replacement columbus ohio I appreciate several from the Information which has been composed, I will visit once more.
Hey,
I’m impressed by your blog. Absolutely amazing work.
Rest in peace Elisa your life speaks volume to the challenges of the neurodivergent and the challenges we live. I wish I could have only met you.
