Remind me to add "being beaten into unconsciousness" to my list of hard limits.

Also, is it just me, or does beating a dom into unconsciousness seem like very un-sublike behavior?

OP: Have either one (or both) of you ever been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder or psychosis?

(I've asked this several times now. I'd be very interested in an honest answer to this.)

quote:


... Years ago, having studied journalism before switching the focus of my poetry to music, I was an aspiring writer, the power of the pen. It is a way of venting, just writing , writing, writing, every possible thought that can come to mind, much of it ridiculous nonsense often bordering on the edge of insanity. That's what writers do, spend hours and hours writing, often just to crumple it all up and throw it away, only to rewrite the same exact garbage the next evening.  I taught myself how to play the guitar and read music to combine with my poetry. Yes, I may be moody at times, but without those moods, my songs would be flat, monotonous and useless.

Just thought I would add -- if you (the OP) haven't been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, I would suggest you visit a therapist and ask that they help you evaluate you for the possibility.  I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of sixteen and a few things you've said strongly remind me of myself.

The intensity of your moods rendering other times/sensations 'monotonous' is a strong indicator of the disorder, not to mention most bipolar people are in some way creative (this is not a A = B, there are plenty of creative people who aren't bipolar.)  It is more common than many people would believe and depending on the severity, you may or may not need medication.  I went through a year of therapy and had to demonstrate proper coping methods before my therapist was convinced that I didn't need medicine, but it was worth it.  Being bipolar helps me understand why you place such value in emotion and why it seems to have strongly clouded your logic, but you cannot allow it to do so.  You can enjoy those intense feelings and moods, but you have to be able to de-attach yourself from feelings that lead to destructive and unhealthy behavior, and you certainly cannot operate in such a state where any emotion, whether it be anger or love, would compel you to remain in a dangerous situation.  In your current state, you come off as emotionally masochistic to say the least.

Try and stay well.

Pink, why you say with the exception of me ? I really try not to play armchair shrink unless it is something I happen to have some personal insight into.

But now that we are down to it, I think most people in this country are bipolar. Replacing manic depressive as a term, it also encompasses more symptomologies. Understand what I said MOST PEOPLE.

Point number two, children are bipolar, and/or manic depressive. That is their nature, that lack of self control. But that is what we expect from children.

Now spend about half of your childhood in a fantasy world of movies and games and your body will grow and you will appear to be an adult. But what will have prepared you for life ?

They have all kinds of names for it but it all boils down to one thing, people don't fucking grow up.

ME ME ME NOW NOW NOW. Look at them on the highway. Look at them in line at the grocery store, look at them everywhere. Look at them camped out overnight at a Best Buy when a new version of a video game comes out. Or for tickets to a sporting event.

Anybody who can see how society is today knows you only get married to give your kids your name. At 47 how many kids you plan on ?

He wants a possesion and she wants to be high maintainence. A trophy eternally polished. A match made in ,,,,,,,,,,, you decide.
