Good thread. This is somewhat difficult for me, since I fear being identified by those 'out there'. But I am learning to face fears... My name is Lisa. I'm 22, and I was born and raised in London - the scummy part, that is. But I live away at university now, where I am in my last year of a...

hey dj...some of us are in chat now... feel free to join anyone.

I second everything Anthony has said....!

I guess, as so many don't understand self-harm, I'd like to perhaps explain from my perspective? For those who struggle to understand why people do this; and also for those who currently are still in the stranglehold of self-harm. Because I overcame it. So can you. First things first. Self...

Welcome to blogging! I am new to it too... hard to think of what to put here isn't it? Glad you got through work okay...

Welcome to blogging 2quilt! Hope the virus clears up soon... I hate being sick!

Hi Andre... just thought I would say welcome to blogging... Im finding it has a definite worthwhile place upon this forum. A place to expand your own sense of self, which is what you are talking about. I think sometimes dealing with PTSD becomes such a dominant thing that I know I have felt that...

Thanks Nicolette. i hope what you say is true.... I'm glad others are needing to mull over this too actually... it means I must have a point somewhere in this... so I'm not completely off the rails I take it. LOL. No-Twith Tabitha... exactly. This is what I think and want too...

OMG. What a bitch. Good for you sticking up for yourself! I can't believe that she said that... ! What a bitch!

Welcome... wow. S. Africa. I have a friend near (just outside of) Johannesburg, can't remember the name of the place, though. He doesn't have wild animals around him either :)

Hi nonabug.. satanic abuse is hard for some people to accept in society at the current time. But it does happen, and it is recognised that it does happen. Whether people want to believe it happens where you are or not... it does happen, and it happened to you. the most horrific things...

I'm just glad people are joining :) Thanks for the compliment Anthony... yes, thought it would be up your street! kers - I've read that too! Yes, I agree, good recommendation! Also, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig.... though I have only managed to read half of it...

So the idea for this group has come from some discussion about a recent assignment I did on the Philosophy of Science on my Blog... seems appropriate to put what I wrote here, just as a starting point. I have added in some replies to the comments I got from my blog into my thoughts below...

So this is something that has always confused me. There are certain things about life and the world that I just. can't. understand. Over the years, I have become very confused by the 'in love' thing. To demonstrate what I mean by all this, I'll use an example from the past. I had a best...

Welcome to blogging piglet!! Wow... that is some unique pets you have. Most people don't like cockroaches, but I've never seen one so I have no idea what the issue is with them... Have to say, jealous that you have chinchilla's though! You're in the midlands in the UK right? I'm not from...

LOL... how odd!

Great post idea :) ... okay, wacky fans in my part of the world? Bah, well you know all about English footie. They all go down the pub in their shirts, shout with pints of beers in their hands... when they win, the cars are all hooting, and when they lose, there's a sudden rise in violent crime...

So true! There were a few men posting a while back, but I don't know where they disappeared too... but I think we need more men! I doubt that it's because women get more PTSD... don't forget PTSD all started in the military, which is a male orientated occupationally... or at least I think so!

Ruddy... very good point.

Oh I am exactly the same!! I think for me it is the pressure of a deadline and assessment, and having to perform on a particular day that takes away the fun and adds stress and pressure... I'm very similar to AmazonBelle in perfectionism too...

Absolutely! I will set one up soon... :)

Welcome Cherry...glad you found us.

Yeah I like the WW2 cartoons and posters too...!

OOoh yeah that's not a bad idea! We could set up a philosophy group and it wouldn't necessarily have to be academic, because anyone can discuss philosophy ideas of their own....I know it sounds geeky but I'd actually thought of that already but thought nobody would be interested... Kuhn...

LOL... I'm a female Jim!
