DesFIP -> RE: Is mental incapacity in a person a deal breaker for you (11/6/2008 8:00:29 AM)

Actually I'm going to say that strong, nurturing relationships do not help alleviate severe chronic, clinical depression. That's because I have spent years prior to the development of SSRIs suffering from that. What I can tell you is that my constant illness was probably one of the pressures that caused my parents' marriage to fracture.

Instead of their love helping me, my illness helped to destroy their relationship.

Nobody is strong enough to give and give, without being given back to. Eventually your well of love and energy runs out unless it is fed also. And I say this as  both the person with the illness and as the caregiver of a severely bipolar child who cycles every five minutes. This kind of relentless need tears people apart.

With that said, I doubt it was the op's depression that caused this domme to turn him down, but his manipulative victim fetish as shown by his deliberate misquoting and misinterpreting of other people in order to put them all in the wrong while presenting himself as this poor, saintly type. However since most people here are more than able to see through such a pose, he has already gotten his comeuppance, not to mention ensured that no  smart domme here will want someone who makes a habit of  being this abusive towards total strangers.

Which is why families who have a member suffering like this need both regular counselling and respite periods and ideally a good support network to support the care givers. Just my observation anyway and it works for us and those who we are working with.

Once i told the group that i suffered from depression, i was labelled by a Domme as mentally incapable.


Well that says more about her ignorance and intellectual incapacities than your depression.



yep, what Viridana said.

Yes, what candystriper said:
'My advice is focus on what you want/need in a Domme; let the women you meet worry about what they may want/need in a submissive.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To the OP: Write down your abilities and what you need and long to do as a submissive.
Then you might write down your shortcomings and set some goals to work on them regularly without too much introspection. Balance in all things......
You sound like a service sub and there are women out there who would enjoy having you serve them in some capacity and maybe train you on a part-time basis.

It is the middle of the night for me so I am too tired to sift through all of the posts. I looked for the positive and found some things to respopnd to in a positive way.

'Bear' posted above about honour. I can relate to that.

It is imperative that you be who you are, and be honest about your own intentions. If you take full responsibility for your shortcomings and do not use them to manipulate anyone, that's the key for you imo.
