    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    Right?! He's got a horrifyingly beautiful sense of imagery. If you're not familiar with Wrath James White he's an extreme horror author, he mostly writes (awesome) splatterpunk novels but he's put out a few collections of poems, mostly themed around horrific erotism (this book, in particular...

    Gender of Therapist

    I'm a male and I purposefully seek out female therapists. All of my traumas were perpetrated by men, and basically any male authority figures -- especially those who have emotional authority over me, like therapists -- immediately trigger bone-deep distrust and usually a good deal of hostility...

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    Just finished Wrath James' White new poetry collection, If You Died Tomorrow I Would Eat Your Corpse, which was fantastic, as expected. Along with that, I'm also about halfway through Robert Kirkman's new comic series, Outcast. I'm also about halfway through Sexual Anorexia: Overcoming...

    'stepping out' of my body - am i alone in this?

    I experience this as well, though the majority occurred during childhood, and then, thankfully, very rarely after around age 20-ish. This is it exactly -- the experience is so non-emotional and benignly detached from everything that I couldn't conceive questioning the experience, it was just...

    Questions about chronic depression, c/ptsd, dissociative amnesia, and loss of progress

    Man, I can identify with this, hard. My problem tends to become that I absolutely cannot maintain anything, not even a simple daily routine once I've been in a major episode for a year or so, it just beats me down to the point where I can't maintain anything and from then on it just becomes a...

    Questions about chronic depression, c/ptsd, dissociative amnesia, and loss of progress

    Aha, gotcha. It's bizarre, isn't it? Every time I start to think I've finally begun to get this thing pretty well figured, something new comes along and totally challenges my conception of the whole experience. Totally. That is one thing I've been pretty good about being able to at least...

    Questions about chronic depression, c/ptsd, dissociative amnesia, and loss of progress

    I usually think of my depression as a secondary consequence of my CPTSD as well, which, I am learning, sometimes makes me underestimate it until it rears its head again and takes over. While I'm obviously not pleased you're going through this as well, it does feel a little better knowing that...

    Questions about chronic depression, c/ptsd, dissociative amnesia, and loss of progress

    Intended title/prompt question didn't fit, so here's the real questions: To those here who also have chronic depression: Has your depression ever gotten so bad that you actually forgot for long stretches of time that you have C/PTSD? Or, has your depression ever been so intense it erased years...

    Gotcha. Well, I don't have any other advice, really, but I hope you find a way to resolve this!

    Changing transgressive sexual fantasies

    Hi, know I'm late to the thread but I just found this site and have been combing through some of the older threads, and I'd like to throw in my 2 cents. Personally, I don't think you should view these fantasies as inherently dangerous or wrong, but as a natural extension or yourself and your...
