ORIGINAL: hausboy Steve-- I'm not a therapist so I'm not about to tell you why you feel the way you do. I only know that I've been in the BDSM community for over 20 years, and for many of those years, my entire social circle consisted of leatherfolk/kinky folks. I've never seen BDSM "mess someone up"--I've seen people who were already messed up, had some mental health issues, and for some of them, certain types of BDSM play exacerbated their problems. Taboo sexual desires and fantasies can sometimes live deep within us, and they can invoke some very heavy duty emotions, which sounds like that's what it did for you. If you already had anxiety in your past, obviously something you did or experienced may have awakened some of those fears and anxieties. Some scenes can definitely leave a person feeling exposed, vulnerable etc. My recommendation, like the others have said, is that you definitely seek the care and guidance of a caring, non-judgmental mental health professional and not delve into BDSM unless you feel like you are in a healthier place to do so. Good luck to you--I'm sorry it was not a positive experience for you. Ok thanks buddy, I guess I don't feel the whole scene was right for me, my heads all over the place to be honest
