Thank you for your advice, but I don't think you have much room to give it. I wasn't "asking" anyone anything in writing this journal entry. I was merely putting my thoughts into words, as that tends to relieve some of the tension in an issue, and sometimes opens up more room for realization. I made it public because opinions, like yours, can't hurt. Sometimes people shed a lot of light in places you least expect it.
However, I'm somewhat offended by your "way out of mainstream" and "suppressed emotions" comments. I drew up a timeline marking all of the areas my life has been affected by BDSM... it is not MY LIFE. This is not something that consumes my every thought and action--it is something I enjoy pondering in my spare time. And when I'm not pondering it, I am a perfectly ordinary human being with perfectly ordinary hobbies, and a perfectly ordinary sex life. I am a person, and I think & feel just like you.
So have I seen a psychologist? No. Perhaps I should? Maybe. But please don't *tell* me that the problem (if you can call it that) is worse than it is. I guess, being one of the most expressive people I've ever known, it pokes me that someone would suggest that I deny myself emotion. But since you don't know me, and you don't know any better of the situation, I will try not to take it to heart.
That being said, I appreciate your concern, I appreciate your opinion, and perhaps, if I can ever afford it, I will look into seeing a shrink. But if seeing a shrink--or having reason to--makes me any less human in the eyes of my peers, then fuck that... this isn't Nazi Germany, I don't need to be "solved." I'm just trying to be happy... aren't we all?

i didn't mean to offend or presume, but i have. i apologize. there's an ultimately unhelpful side of me that too quickly offers advice when i don't know a person well enough to do so. i should be sitting back and just listening.
i want you to know that i was in no way judging you as a person. i stopped here on a random stroll through sg precisely BECAUSE you're a deep person with feelings. i'm sorry i angered you, and i sincerely hope you won't keep with you what a random dork like me had to say.

Hey there... you randomly showed up on the Hookups page when I loaded it and you seemed really interesting so I thought I'd say hi. We have some things in common - psych, soc, bdsm... And so yeah... hey there. You're absolutely beautiful, by the way!
webspider:
I understand your pain.. I just went through the same thing... and i cant stop thinking about a gun in my mouth...
vanillakinky:
Damn, now thats some fucking pain, I feel you, & am sorry. Nothing hurts like love goddammit.........
I dyed my hair brown last week, the only color on earth it's never been. Last night I took my nipple rings out, permanently. I tried to get my labret out too, but it was screwed on too tight. I might need to clip it off with metal cutters.
I hate myself anymore, but I know that I don't need these things to be beautiful,...

While it is true that those decorations are not needed to be beautiful lovable or unique, they are still fun. But yeah I know it's part of growing up. I'm figthing it with all I got though.

"Wet mount" exam - $10.00
Chlamydia test - $19.25
Prescription drugs - $48.06
Another doctor who doesn't know what the fuck is wrong with me - priceless.

ditto on the 'wet mount'...
ethereal0018977:
I guess that's the technical term for being probed with fingers, plastic tongs, and a q-tip.
How I loathe seeing the cunt doctor...

I can understand that. After all, I was raised by my Mother in a single parent family. Hopefully everything goes well.

plathandpinter, I think you have grossly overestimated me. I'm happy to talk deep theory... as long as it doesn't involve knowing of any of those people, because I haven't heard of any of them!
Hey you missed my 2-page entry about how I want to do you. I just deleted everything yesterday.
