Thinking of you, Bec... hope things look up soon

Hey guys! Sorry I've been absent lately! Thought I'd add some thoughts to RD's post re: sex and gender as I have always found this interesting. From what I have learned and my perspective... sex is in reference to genital organs defining a person to be male or female-penis or vagina. Sex...

Wow... sorry for the belated reply... I've only recently been participating in the forum again after a break.... Thank you more good feedback on my post... I'm really glad I did it, for me, and also if it's benefitted anybody else. Linasmom... dead right... there was relief myself in writing...

I use my bloody-minded determination to will myself to power. The notion of 'whatever happens, I always have myself'... not a good philosophy to live by (else you become selfish and closed off), but it helps me to will myself to power when it is needed. When the chips are down, I'm having a hard...

Thanks guys 2quilt... I hope to god it's gone out of the house because they always seem to turn up in my bedroom otherwise!! Usually my housemates would get rid of it but they've all said it's so big they didn't want to touch it.... uuuuugggh.... but thank you for the reassuring post, it...

Time off is time off... go have your time off, man! :)

Awakening THis post touched a few raw nerves for me. I have been in the same position recently with my T, funnily enough... though he wasn't as brutal... Not easy stuff what she put you through. I think some of it was worthwhile though... she pushed you pretty hard and it hurt you a lot...

Does anybody here have a phobia? I have been told by my housemates that there is a huge spider in our kitchen, right by the washing machine (where my washing is). I am now deep breathing as I write this because I am only just about keeping inches away from pure terror... and it is always the...

Oh wow....thanks!! :) You guys just made the second/first? day of being 23 much better! I am suffering the hangover from hell... ha this is the first time I smiled all day LOL! After my Jeremy Kyle session, I mooched about doing not much... in the evening I went to the local pub to play a...

Ah I see it is okay to use names... sorry I was just being over cautious!

Jim... I am glad that your daughter (I am not using names because I haven't read every post here and am unsure if your daughter would not like to be named here) is happy to go ahead with the prosecution. I am glad that she is okay with this because what she, and you are all doing is...

A little off topic (sorry) - but good to see you Veiled!!!!!

I have to say... I find this to be true with me too when someone pushes me and I have made it clear once that I don't want to be pushed... god help them if they push me further... if they leave me alone to be how I need to be, I am much more willing to be cooperative and try...

i voted injury. I don't see it as an illness, because I see illness as something that is caused by chemicals or germs, or something related to the body going wrong - and to me PTSD is essentially caused by trauma which happens in life, not the body as such. However once PTSD develops, the body...

Oh, and Lucky Laser's comment was a good one to make... I don't know how you're sleep patterns have been recently, but there is evdence that the body builds up 'sleep debts', and that fits with Lucky Laser's post.

Claire - yes! Not so long ago in fact... I was sleeping 12-15 hours a day. I couldn't work out if it was the meds or me... I still don't really know. If it was the meds, then that's what it was. If it was me, then it was because I was mentally exhausted (which I was anyway). It was great to be...

Wow... not been here for a while... not sure what's going on, but I'm glad that any steps being taken towards more security are being taken. If you feel that this is necessary, then it's for a reason. I'm all for it. I'd be happy to send you details of who I am and whatnot, I have nothing to...

That is me too. I don't know is also my most commonly used answer! I am so like this too! I am fairly articulate when it comes to writing, and I can express emotion via words (though I have problems with expressing within myself)... but finding those words to put the metaphors and...

I am recently recognising that I have difficulties in identifying emotions. I feel them... but my initial recognition of emotion is usually pre-verbal. I have found myself describing feelings as "bleugh" and "uuuugghhh!" initially, and though I can find the words for them, it takes me a lot of...

Upstream... in terms of asserting healthy boundaries, unfortunately those boundaries have to be respected by both parties for them to work. If the other person is completely and utterly never going to respect you and you're needs and boundaries... then the only thing you can do is FORCE your...

I did that, moved to uni., and never looked back. But I found setting my boundaries with my dad easy...it's easy when you're angry as hell, the problem I have is getting him to accept and respect those. I'll follow this thread closely also...

I watched it too and thought it was really good! Thanks!

Thanks Upstream. It was interesting to read... Appreciate it...

A linguistics professor was lecturing his English class one day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice...

I actually agree with you. I don't have an opinion on things I don't know about...and I don't know about extraterrestial's and stuff, have absolutely no knowledge or even reading around the area... so to me, I don't believe or disbelieve and will wait until a time when I have something that I...
