Hey Nick, how have you been since the last thread?

>>37130966

I tried to keep on Dan. He makes me rage because he could do so much better and yet he won't. The waste of his thinking drives me to anger. Once I was "launched", there was no going back.

How are you?

>>37131041
>Glad to hear you're doing better Nick.

Not sure where you heard that. I'm just calmer than I was last thread. Everything else isn't very good. No crazy C-PTSD symptoms as much this week, but still consumed by depression.

You?

You're not as angry as yesterday, thats what I meant. I have anger flashes, they're not fun. Afterwards, I mean. In the moment, losing myself in a red haze feels pretty great. It is just dealing with the consequences of angry me let loose that is never fun. I'm fine, just dealing with pic related. Stupid drive won't read.

any news on the prospect of starting your studies again?
>>
>>37131351

I'm yet to read the whole thing.

Maybe some psychos can switch it on and off.

Tell me, is this always a choice on your part?

Can things go off by themselves?

Suppose you had a fall out with someone, which makes you angry at them, would your feefees switch off so bad that you'd feel like a different person, like an empthy shell?
>>
>>37131271
Thanks. It toasts hard drives. But back onto the other thing, because I'm curious and you're psych-knowledgable. Why do I get blackout angry? Sometimes I get so angry that my vision goes red and I pass out. At least "I" pass out.
First time it happened was in middle school, was fighting a friend over something stupid because we were teenagers and fighting is fun. I'm losing anf getting more and more pissed ofg, my vision goes red, then nothing. I wake up being held down by him and two other friends, with no memory of what happened. According to them I'd gone berserk, and the black eye the other friend had was pretty damning proof. There are other instances, but that one was the first time it'd happened. Any thoughts?
>>
>>37131372

It's a matter of will at this point. This summer sounds like I should either commit suicide or start new studies. Thread #100 always tempted me, but now that I've said it, I won't do it, which may be why I said it at all.

I'm not sure I can ever recover from everything that happened this year.

How are you? Will you paint again?
>>
>>37131411

Damn... Seeing red was right on the money, then?

It sounds like something Facet would have, a form of dissociation (but not the derealisation kind).

Give examples.
>>
>>37131389
>is this always a choice?
Yes.

>Can things go off by themselves?
If you mean that I suddenly feel, then no. But if you mean that the "switch" turns off by itself, it's default is off.

>would your feefees switch off?
They turn off automatically when facing criticism and other things like it. I would easily be able to turn on a person I've spent my entire life with. I actually thought about stabbing my dad recently. As I have already told you, he has been the best influence in my life. I thought of it for no reason and didn't really care.
>>
Good show last night Nick, past me from a couple of years ago would've sided with Dan.

side note: feeling real lonely tonight, glad the thread is here
>>
>>37131465
Seeing red is exactly right. At that point I either have to go calm down or let go. A few examples I can think of off the top of my head:
When I found out first ex had cheated on me I took a combat knife into the woods, went red, came to completly exhausted lying on the ground with my hand a bloody blistered mess and a chopped down tree.
Another time it happened during a high school cross country race. Didn't want to lose. Apparently I'd beat the guy then fell over past the finish line. I came to with a crowd of people standing around me which freaked me out, because the last thing I remembered was running.
>>
>>37131614
You might be WAY more fucked up than you original thought. How much of your childhood do you remember?
>>
>>37131552

Suppose you fall in love, or the closest thing to this. Someone feels like God to you, you adore them.

Suddenly, they start countering you on your bullshit, and making you feel bad. You get angry, things get worse.

Eventually, you fuck up big time because you didn't anticipate how the other would feel, and they react strongly, which causes you to feel abandoned.

At this point, would you have a sort of breakdown and feel all your emotions for that person to die?

Would you become a machine?

Could these feelings come back?

Do you ever like again someone who hurt you?
>>
>>37131585

I'm not especially proud of last night. I only hope I was funny enough to redeem these angry hours. It was like being drunk with anger.

Same about loneliness.
>>
Goddamn.

I get back here and it's already in full speed.

>>37131717
I'd become numb, and tell them to fuck off. I only care when I want to. If I wanted to feel for them again I could, but I wouldn't, because I don't like running back to exes.

You chopped a whole tree with a combat knife? How thick was that tree???

In especially charged moments, memory may fail. I've had moments like when I derealised violently, when my father assaulted me, for instance. Not a complete blackout but less than clear memory of the events, to a degree.

Other memory fails during other types of moments?

How do I cure paranoia
Every time I try to have good relationships paranoia kicks in and I start hating the person, it makes me sick

Also I can't sleep because of that
>>
>>37131831
Tree was pine, about a foot and a half in diameter. Besides my general shitty memory, only other moments where memory failed immediately like that was the wreck I got in, i think it was back in '13/'14. Blizzard went through, took dad's 4x4 chevy s10 down the mountain in 4 low, creeping down at 5mph. When I slid off the road I can't remember anything until I cane to laying there in the ditch. Had to climb up and out the passenger door.
>>
>>37131949
i have a quite different problem.

Everytime I meet someone new I start assuming that the person totally hates me.
I hate most of people but when I meet someone whos actually bearable for me. I never talk to them or try to be friends because I start thinking about me and how I act like a complete dick and realize that they probably dont want to be around me.
Don't know if it's true. Not like any of those people ever try to contact me but I usually dont give them a chance to even get to know me a little.
I guess it's because i feel really insecure about myself and hate myself for every little fuck up.

Even If I hate everyone I still hate myself the most.

>>37131777
>I'd become numb, and tell them to fuck off. I only care when I want to. If I wanted to feel for them again I could, but I wouldn't, because I don't like running back to exes.

Do you ever cry?
>>
>>37131826
>though i was wondering how you would fare after a several hour long rage-fest

I was elated. I laughed quite a few times too. I'm very "in it" whether it's calmly and with empathy, or noisily with just as much empathy. Self-sabotage and bullshit reasoning drive me nuts, especially if it's about someone I care for. Dan is the oldest regular here, he's older than the thread itself.
>>
>>37131854
No I don't remember much. And I'm pretty certain I wasn't. My dad had these issues as well, my uncle told me the story of how my dad stabbed him when they were nine, and when my dad was a teenager was so pissed off he chopped down a tree with a baseball bat. I don't even know how.
>>
>>37131949
>Every time I try to have good relationships paranoia kicks in and I start hating the person, it makes me sick

I may be on the other end of that one. It's the worst feeling, because I am a genuinely caring person, and to be thought of as some evil fuck destroys me.

Describe an example in detail, greentext that shit for bonus points.

>>37132141
You guys sound pretty badass, but I think that there may be a possibility of abuse. Although I'm not certain, because I don't know your dad. It's a possibility, but not likely. It sounds like you guys just have anger issues.

im not sure if i'll ever paint again. ive been doing sketches for a painting for my brother. its about the general hannibal barca. perhaps the most difficult painting ive made so far, IF i paint it at all.
to be honest i had very faith in my abilities to start with, and ive lost the little faith i did have

That was the first story about it I posted here: >>37131411
My mom saw one after a high school soccer(football for the non-burgers here) game junior year. Referees hate my school colors. I'd had fouls called on ME when people slide tackled me. As defense. After the second one, I kicked the bastard in the head. Managed to hold it back until was home, took an axe innawoods and let it go. I was gone for, according to mom, about two hours. I think I chopped down 3, can't remember for certain how many I counted when I came to because this was several years ago.
>>37132214
Thanks, but I don't deserve all that. Just always assumed I had an anger problem. Probably originates from that Scots ancestry.

You must paint again. Your paintings are top level. I know famous (relatively) painters whose work doesn't outshine yours.

Seriously, get back to it. Your art is amazing and there needs to be more of it.

I cycle between OCD and complete apathy. One day I'm obsessed with absolutely everything -- cleanliness, order, routine... the next I literally live in squalor and don't give a shit about anything.

I either take life extremely seriously or don't give a fuck.

Example: last week I was counting calories and following a strict exercise regime, today I'm smoking and drinking and sitting all day doing nothing.

Someone explain this shit.

Hello, Nick.

I made this thread today.
>>>/adv/18329596

As I was recovering, I thought - maybe I do not really need all of this social interaction?

I was redpilled, and it gave me much inspiration to keep on moving. Today, I realized I'm actually in a good position.

For instance, I don't drink because I fear I lose consciousness or become addicted. People do say alcohol helps people to socialize, but do I really need "friends" who drink, watch football and work on a boring job? I don't. This is below my current level. Disregarded, next.

My body tells me I need a woman to settle down with, to speak with and to support her. But I don't think this will work out in the long term perspective. After all, I do not want to be used, and more importantly, I do not have enough resources to pose as a potential partner to women, so if I tried, it would result in massive time-money loss for me and massive money gain for her. It's not beneficial even if she pretends she loves me. Next.

I separated my moral standards and goals in life into two categories: the ones who I has been taught by my single mother, and the ones I came to myself. I got rid of the former and kept the latter, so I wouldn't be influenced by society anymore, and so I could make my own decisions.

Assessing all of that, I came to the conclusion that I'm a pretty good man in a pretty good situation. Sure, I have social anxiety, clinical depression and some complexes, along with the specialty I don't like, but I don't have any debt or ongoing loans. I have not been seriously betrayed, and I spent all the time from 19 to 24 on self-improving, philosophy, getting a healthy body along with healthy habits, etcetera.

Right now, I am oppressing the basic rule of modern society. I will live by myself, for my pleasure and entertainment, and I will pursue my own goals and dreams without feeling any shame about it and disregarding any standards.

What do you think?
>>
>>37132139
>I was elated.
this shit is amazing to me, it seems like an impossible reaction. or atleast a reaction coming from someone fucked up in totally different way than you

>>37132406
I'll ask, who cares if you're good? If you enjoy it then do it. Life is too short to spend it not doing what you love because people said you're bad.

This is very outlandish. It's almost as though you can't imagine relationships being actually great for you in every way. You also seem to think a woman can't work and bring money to the table as well as you do. There are many assumptions that are factually off in this one paragraph.

Humans aren't made to be alone.

When I get upset like that, and start typing so much, it becomes a frenzy. I'm completely in it and it doesn't stop. All caps fury comes along and I just ride that wave of anger/joy. Maybe that was a reaction to my general numbness of lately.

Not even sure how numb I have become. I know the tears aren't far away. It only needs some breaking.

Scared.

I've been holding off emotions for a while now, and I know it's just going to come back in crushing waves. I don't hold off anything intentionally. Some days I just feel more immune to feelings.

>>37132734

Numb means derealised in my case. I oscillate between feeling out of everything and feeling far too much.

>almost puked in the classroom
>almost fainted at school

That was a bit calmer this week.

>>37132610
Tell me about it.
i love drawing as a way of expressing my feeling but I totally suck at it.
People tell me that Im still quite above average but everytime I try to make something good It looks horrible and I never finish it.
Probably never even finished a picture in my life.

But I got kinda good at drawing faces so thats something I guess. Still looks like a shitty comic book but it's better than before.
>>

>>
>>37132610
i guess there were several things enjoyable about it.
one you hint at was definitely a big part of the enjoyment: being able to put to canvas what was on my mind
simply mixing colors on the palette and getting the right tone was also a part of it
seeing the shapes forming on the canvas was a big turn on (not joking i used to get a boner from time to time)

one part that was never enjoyable was having others look at it. even when they had nice things to tell about it

you know it's weird. even when i was most depressed, around 14, when i would starve myself, self-harm, drink and smoke heavily etc, drawing and painting was always a pleasurable outlet and now even that small pleasure is gone

My SO has borderline personality disorder and I want more than anything to be able to help him more but we both know I can't.

I honestly do not even know why I am posting.. I guess I just feel like we are spiraling down and have no way out.

At what point is it okay to help someone commit suicide to end their suffering? Is it ever okay? I know a part of him resents me because I am the reason he stays alive. I love him and just want us to get through until.. well.. I don't know if it will ever improve. Some people with BPD have reduced symptoms when they hit their 40's.. is this all worth him suffering everyday for that chance? Just so I won't be alone?

Sorry for the ranting.. I just needed to get some of this off my chest.

This is most likely bullshit and a sad excuse for him to hate you. Nobody stays alive for anyone else exclusively. So forget that right away.

Maybe I'll find someone to talk with later. My current activity sphere does not contain someone I could talk with in a two-way manner. It means I should raise myself to a gap which would allow me to pursue much wiser people so I could give them something in return of them giving something to me. Intellectually and culturally.

I was raised in a shut-in environment away from the developed cities. All I had were books, and later, legos. I was not allowed to go outside, and even if I did, there were absolutely no kids around that place.

In my early years, my mom would heavily drink alcohol with my PTSD'd father constantly, while I was in my room minding my own business. When I got older, mom began abusing me, pursuing her own interest - walking me to church, beating me up during piano classes, forcing to rewrite all the school notebooks if I made a mistake. She was quite psychotic back then, and I often saw her having sex with my father openly. I was ignored by both of them, although mom was taking me to some obscure IQ improvement classes. She took me to English classes, and I'm thankful for that.

When I was in middle school, she got a lover, and we went to a different place, leaving my father behind. I continued to unintentionally attend to their sex life and alcoholic adventures. This was the first time I tried to kill myself.

When I was 15, my father shot himself, depressed and lonely. Mom ran to him and donated as much blood as she could. Father recovered, and she left him again. Several months later, he disappeared, leaving a note saying he'll go away in search of a new life. I tried to find him via police ever since, but got no luck.

When I graduated, mom took me to a university, to a faculty I had no interest in. She had. And as of now, I'm finishing this six-year humanitarian hell.

She went calm over the years, but I'm trying to stay away from her emotionally so I wouldn't be influenced by her.

Long and the short of it was I'd been unable to save a dying man and that failure was tearing me apart inside, making my depression that much more excruciating when it had something solid to latch all those negative emotions onto. Nick helped me realize that it wasn't my fault I couldn't save him, and told me to call myself a fucking hero, I at least stopped and tried to help. Later became An Fucking Hero because I couldn't remember the name right, and kept it because this version is funnier.

Look up Otto Dix's work, you'd like it.

This painting uses elements from Grunewald's Crucifixion. You may see one of the Apostles pointing towards "Christ".

So I know just where to cut. I'd build my own house with a secret basement. That's where I'll keep all of the body parts.

The whole triptych is amazing.

Dix is great.

Here's the whole thing.

For an amazing account of World War 1, I recommend Storm of Steel. It's one of the most fucking amazing things I've ever read. From the German side of things, very raw, absolutely crazy. It's like the Platoon of literature.

It's kinda weird when youre a metalhead and like emotional songs. Not that easy to find.
I love nice soothing voices but I feel like I need to feel the raw emotions from music.

I've never been on /r9k/ but I figure if there's anywhere to go and talk about my feelings to strangers it's here. Today I was suspended from my University after violating sexual misconduct rules (I didn't do anything egregious, just didn't think to ask consent and it happened months before the investigation) and I had to quit my campus job before they fired me. I won't be able to come back until fall 2018 and I really don't know what to do now. I'm a 4.0 student and I was able to keep my grades up even though I went through an investigation this semester and I was homeless last semester. I just don't know what to do and I feel like a failure. I was on track to be my school newspaper's editor in chief and hold other positions in student organizations. Now that this is over, I have to go through an expulsion trial in my fraternity to see if I'll be kicked out of that too or if I can be on permanent suspension until I graduate. I'm a really driven student and I like studying, working in organizations, and improving my campus, but that's all gone now. I'm really at a loss right now for what to do and I've moved back in with my mom. The only bright side to my life recently is that I got a cat and my favorite hockey team is doing really well and I have the opportunity to go to the big games. Other than that, I just want to get drunk and play videogames all weekend.

Theres gonna be a band of a guy I know so I said id come. Theyre pretty popular here.

Could be some low level narcissism where you like to find physical reasons to shit on others. I used to do this a lot and still do it to a lesser extent.

There's a very fat woman at work, and I just fucking hate every inch of her, although I suspect it's her personality I hate more than her body, because I know other lard asses whom I actually like and whose obesity isn't a problem to me.

What do you make of your own dislike of fat people?

LO left with very little clothes. She wanted me to pack the rest of her stuff, but I refused, because I can't hold her clothes for more than a minute without collapsing in tears, and my new rule in life is not to do myself harm. So I said no, fuck it. Nobody forced her to leave this quickly.

Instead I offered to pay for new clothes,
which she first refused, then accepted, reluctantly; I dropped 200 pounds on her account; she still doesn't know.

To some degree.

I betrayed her by having another relationship without telling her.

>>37133965
>is all her shit still at your place?

Much of her things, yes. Lots of makeup stuff, hairbrushes, art supplies, art, books, her red shoes, so much smaller than would fit my feet. I break down whenever I see them but can't touch them.

The worst is when I find some of her kawai stuff. She loves kittens and cute things (and also videos of surgeries and eFuckt). Found a lunchbox with a kawai rabbit on it, who says, "I love carrot." The cutest thing to have a breakdown over.

Reduced to tears, sitting on the kitchen floor.

>I love carrot.

>>37134007
>Its a 4 hours ride from here to prague

By American standards, that's almost a regular commute.

4 hours is nothing to go see a concert with a friend.

How far are you guys from each other?

Could you confirm you won't abandon my case so I stopped worrying about it?
>>
>>37134064
Well as Dan said, this thread doesnt make us friends.
After all I dissagreed with most of things he said

And 4 hours long ride is quite a lot when someone tell you to go a day before.

and finally Dan might be 10 years older than me and be into a totally different music and kind of concerts.
To be honest I think Im probably one of the youngest people here.

Yeah everything got worse when i was around 14-15 years old, my grandmother got sick and ended up bed ridden, she basically gave up and refused to cooperate with anything to keep her healthy it was a hell almost daily with fights between her, my alcoholic grandad and my mother for around a year until she finally just died

It just makes sense. They don't have the discipline to even take care of themselves, and they waste resources and look gross too. I can't even imagine letting myself get to the point of looking like some of those lardasses, and cringe at the thought of being like them. They're just disgusting.

>if my wife left me or if she ever died I will have to kill myself right there. How long ago did that all go down?

Back in 1998, 27th of November, a classmate of mine died. Every year since then, I remember the day.

It so happened that last 27th of November, it was a Sunday, was the day I chose to tell her the truth. I killed my life that day.

Months of hell followed and I'm not out of it, for reasons both hard to believe and insane.

>>37134102

I refuse to let anything go.

I confirm I will not abandon you. Facman can confirm that I don't easily abandon people, including people who hurt me more than the Sun ever could.

I won't abandon your case, don't worry. Ask around, I don't give up. Dan can confirm I don't even give up on you if you yourself abandon me.

You forgot "no homo".

Exactly. being obese just shows that you don't care.
Another thing I've never understood is how people can go weeks without taking a shower- if I go more than a day I feel disgusting. Also, showering is awesome

I haven't slept more than 30 minutes in a week and keep getting sleep paralysis and horrific nightmares. I feel like some evil presence is watching over me and will one day show himself and drag me down to hell. I've always had fucked up nightmares but I'd still be able to go to sleep for 4 hours or so. This started around the time I watched a lot of traumatizing shit. I didn't feel anything at the time I was watching it and I've always watched it since I was a kid to satiate my curiosity, but I wonder if it's slowly changing my brain? All of the horrible shit I've seen is just getting worse and worse and I'm finding it seeping into other areas of my life. I had a nervous breakdown last night and really wanted to kill myself. I'm tired of getting tortured every time I fall asleep. I've been hearing screaming, random voices coming out of nowhere and stuff when I'm falling asleep and noises that I mistake for voices in my daily life constantly making me jump out of my skin and sometimes dead bodies standing around in my room. I keep mistaking the slightest thing for something terrifying and I get easily scared now. My family think I'm just a hypochondriac, but it is ruining my life even if that is the case. I can't be in silence anymore or I'll have a panic attack. I'm sleeping with the lights on again and have to have a lot of sound playing at all times to block everything out. Being around myself and focusing on my thoughts is becoming terrifying to me, I can't tell if they're mine or coming from somewhere else lately. They don't make sense and are just scrambled sometimes.

That's about it.

thanks for linking the story. really interesting and i can see you really helped him to see the situation from another, more benign, angle.

i do think you project your own experiences with parents to others and you end up attributing many of anon's problems to their parents. as if you were kind of blinded by your upbringing so you cant avoid seeing other parents in a dark light

reminds me of when i told you my dad had touched me by mistake. there are more examples of this in older threads but im too lazy to track them down. i believe you are not at peace with your own situation and that blinds you. just my opinion tho, i hope you dont mind me sharing it

I know. But it had been 7 years and she was much of my own life. Losing her after having taken care of her for so long feels like losing my own child. Our relationship was not balanced, and that's how things are now.

Still, I'm not touching anything of hers.

Talked with my ex's mom for the first time in about 2 years. Givin' me recommendations for local docs that really helped her through the years. Shes bipolar and been through an abusive family. Really quite similar people. Heard my ex's voice in the background. Started crying. We talked for an hour. Ex is doing alright. I want to slit her throat but theres some deep buried solace in that.
Talking to a girl town over. Developing alcoholic. Not sure whether to get involved deeper or not. But i need a real friend, and we're talking everyday and bonding over similarities. Im not sure what to do. No urge to drug, cut, burn, and snuff myself take precedence.
Probably going to redo my scars tonight. No reason not to, decoration is key. Already burned myself with my cigarettes so why not do some actual constructive art.
Vent over, any recommendations on further reading for BPD Nicholai

My parents used to help me in my mid teens, but now that I'm /uni/ and an adult I guess I just schedule them and make myself go

Yeah, they know that I go and they are just happy that I take mental health seriously

It can be hard to just set up this kind of stuff, I had to psych myself up for a day and say "fuck it" I have to do this

Therapy really helps so if you want it try, really try to get it.

Look in your area for a good psychiatrist online, (I like women, they feel less intimidating to me) and just force yourself to schedule an appointment. Go in and give it your best shot. It always gets easier after the first time

As for finances, I only pay 20 per session because I have insurance through my folks, but if you don't it's a little more expensive usually- about 50-100. Trust me though, mental health is important, it's worth it

Sadly, as I said here yesterday, Im not really connected to my parents enough to let them know that I have mental issues. They didnt even question it when I got half my hand scarred from a bloody pocket knife I got. I mostly just blame it on cats or some crap, I once even told them that I got a scar from lathe at school.

I really cant imagine telling them and I dont even have any income atm. my friends are always pissed that I take their cigs, doubt I could pay for a therapy.
Atleast not any time soon.

>i do think you project your own experiences with parents to others

You keep saying that. I know people offline whose experience match my own in some aspects; it's nothing surprising anymore. Recognising patterns is not projecting.

So spare me.

Anyone who grows up with issues without understanding why, if it's not a technical issue like autism or other, it will generally be the upbringing. You don't realise this but that's your problem, not mine, and it won't make me suddenly ignore what I know.

For you to accuse me of projecting my own issues on others as the only reason why parents are often responsible for the issues of their children, that's just spitting on everything we know of child development, and I won't do it, since I have no reason to.

Your case is a good example. I asked thorough questions, a lot, and came to another conclusion. So much for projecting.

What you misinterpret as me projecting is simply me being aware of how difficult it is for an abused person to recognise the abuse for what it is, ask Facet for confirmation. Any therapist would tell you as much, and that is why I insist a lot. See Ethan's downplaying his own abuse as well, or pretty much anyone here.

I am not blinded by my past and would ask the same without it.

This was worrying me quite a lot in my relatively new job. The sprang it on me one day that I had to wear short sleeves now, and I knew that they'd see the minor scars that I have (as well as the much older, more serious ones). Luckily the most serious scar actually looks more like a burn so I can play it off as a cooking injury. Anyway I decided that the only option was just to not mention it and act like nothing was a miss and sure enough, so far no one's mentioned it. I doubt they've missed it though.

your twisting my words. i just say you often did blame it on parents too quickly.
>>37135056
>Your case is a good example. I asked thorough questions, a lot, and came to another conclusion
look i see you're being defensive, im not trying to get you mad. im just saying what i see. pretty much as you do
as for "asking thorough questions", as soon as i told you, you assumed my father was an abuser. instead of questions you mostly shared statements which is good and all but it's far from standard practice on psychologists and psychiatrists.
i pretty much had to go back and forth for who knows how many messages til you took a new approach and even then i think you ended up assuming my dad had abusing me and i was denying it>>37135056
>What you misinterpret as me projecting is simply me being aware of how difficult it is for an abused person to recognise the abuse for what it is
actually no, im not misrepresenting because im not representing that at all: i know it's hard to recognize abuse, especially when you are a children. what im saying is that you quickly jump to the conclusion that Anons were abused by their parents too often, without enough proof. hence why i say you're blinded by the abuse you yourself suffered>>37135056

>>37135215

>>37135263
Maybe you're right. I do fancy that they catch the light though. What should I say if anyone asks about the tattoo, come to think of it? It's a little bit niche. There again I could go with the normo accent and say 'I just liked the design/ picked it out of a book' or some tosh.

>>37135279
They are. I considered planning ahead and bandaging over what are quite superficial cuts just as a means to hide them, but that would only raise more questions.
>>
>>37135255
>i just say you often did blame it on parents too quickly.

That's what I heard, but you confuse inquiring and blaming. When I do find that parents have a toxic attitude and perpetrate abuse of any kind, I state so, and at this point, you'd be hard pressed to deny the abuse.

I don't recall a case where I blamed parents too quickly, not even yours. Inquiring is not judging. The confusion is yours, not mine.

>>37135255
>look i see you're being defensive,

Don't give me that shit. Your accusations are pretty heavy and necessitate a reaction that's at least as heavy. Of course I am defensive, since I am being attacked. What good would I be to anyone in this thread if my help is nothing more than projected bullshit? If you don't want me to be defensive, don't put my entire credibility at stake and I won't have to defend myself. If you do, then prepare for a normal defense on my part. It's the least I owe everyone else here.

>>37135255
>you assumed my father was an abuser.

You told me he touched your genitals for a minute by accident. I'd be quite retarded not to consider the possibility, especially since you still have no explanations for your current condition, and mental issues don't pop out of a magic hat.

>instead of questions you mostly shared statements which is good and all but it's far from standard practice on psychologists and psychiatrists.

I asked you lots of questions to get the bottom of this, and held a far more skeptical doubt than you give me credit for, since I had to do the opposite of what I normally would: assume that maybe, just maybe, a man who touches your penis for a minute "by accident" is not a pedophile abuser. You can't put in doubt my open-mindedness after this, and you can't say I'm blinded by my past since I accepted your version of things in the end.

As to standard practice, I doubt you have any qualifications to judge of that, especially since you're wrong about it. You'd be surprised what those fine people say and do.

>>37135255
>i pretty much had to go back and forth for who knows how many messages til you took a new approach and even then i think you ended up assuming my dad had abusing me

That's such ingrate bullshit. It's not like you had anything to prove to me. I kept asking you questions to be sure of what was going on. It wasn't about you trying to prove something to me, since we weren't having this conversation for my sake. Don't turn things around. If I asked this many questions, it was to be sure, it wasn't you doing me a favour and somehow battling against my evil projections.

>>37135255
>what im saying is that you quickly jump to the conclusion

Either I quickly jump to conclusions or "it took forever to convince" me of something. You can't have both. Questions are not conclusions.

Its not that easy to overlook when you hand looks like a fucking zebra.
Not saying my hand does but It happened to me before that I got drunk or something and told about 2 people I think that i did it to myself.

Since then when some guy asked me about the scars and I just told him the same bullshit i told eveyone, the one guy who knew how I got them just laughed and acted like it was nothing, never talked about it with him again.
Seems like people just dont want to get sucked into your problems so they rather ignore it.

That sounds a lot less messy, quite honestly. This might be reductive of me to say but I truly can't imagine well-adjusted people being able to relate to me any more than I can relate to them.

>Anons were abused by their parents too often, without enough proof.

And so they are, very often. The only proof I need is for them to say so. Doubt me all you want, but you have no reason to doubt anon's words for all intents and purposes.

I understand your rationalisation over my personal case. It's an insult I don't take lightly.

>im sorry nick but i dont believe you.

You don't have to. I don't give a fuck.

> you should keep talking to your therapist about your parents, it seems like you havent closed that circle

Yes, I have. In case you haven't paid attention, I've cut my parents off permanently, while leaving them a way to contact me, which they haven't used in a month now.

To drop your parents as though they were dead requires some serious closure ability. To know that when either of them comes to old age or grave illness I won't visit them and will let them die alone, that takes more resolve than you suppose.

There's nothing more I could tell my therapist about my parents that I haven't said already. My parents aren't the biggest problem in my life, by far. If the rest went well, I would be fine with the situation in my family.

I don't appreciate you deciding what weighs more in my own life and making such heavy assumptions about everything I'm doing here. Maybe this is some kind of payback for having dared to challenge your view of your own past, but I won't dig into it. Maybe I was gullible enough to buy your version of things, but I opted to trust you.

In the meantime, you never came up with an explanation for your mental issues. I tried to make more sense out of it, I didn't impose anything on you, and I couldn't if I wanted to.

I'm fairly surprised by this change of attitude on your part, but so be it.

i have my own considerations about my current condition. ive actually shared them but also ive given you the background ive talked about with my psychiatrist: i have an uncle with schizophrenia, i also was bullied all the way from kindergarten to high school (someone peed on my back, i was beaten up regularly, i was verbally abused by other kids. my grandma who i loved very much had embolia and that resulted in the paralysis of half her body etc)

its not a change of attitude at all, i just made a constructive criticism based on what ive seen in past threads. you chose to see it as an attack even if from the get go i told you it wasnt my intention to offend and i was careful with my words

that you take it as an attack is pretty interesting to me. it talks about you being defensive either about your parents or about your ability to analize others (by the way in general i think you're good at analizing others just not their relationship with your parents since you have a big bias

Because you had told me your father had been fondling your genitals for 60 seconds straight and said he didn't realise.

If you think I'm projecting my own past on yours when I assumed your father was likely an abuser after you told me this, then I have nothing to argue for anymore.

I don't choose to see it as an attack, that's on you, own up to it. You don't see it as an attack because you're convinced you're right.

>>37135909
>. it talks about you being defensive either about your parents or about your ability to analize others

You make an assumption that is wrong and I correct you on it. It says nothing of my parents or my ability to analyse others. You're a pretty crafty fucker and you can turn this into anything you want, but it won't change facts.

>>37135909
>it bums me out to see you mad about something so harmless but i prefer to tell the truth in hopes that such truth will help you in the long run

I just think it's messed up from you to insist on this. You confuse knowledge gained from an experience with some sick obsession of wanting to find my own parents in everyone else's. This thread should have shown you that more often than not, I am not in error with my guesses. Offline cases confirmed this. Not everyone is like my parents, as I have found no one who had comparable parents, but abuse is abuse. I found people who had no physical or sexual abuse at all end up in atrocious states solely because of psychological abuse. That's unlike my parents, but still. I recognised the signs, the patterns, I made a prediction and was completely correct

... about why you feel attacked by such a harmless text (until now that you mentioned credibility)
if anything, accepting the criticism (as a possibility not a reality) and rethinking your approach in some cases (statements early on instead of questions) would only make you more credible in the future


>>37136639
>Without that, I wouldn't be of much help.
i agree but without an unbiased view on parenting you wouldnt be of much help either (in that specific realm of things). the validation the "patient" receives from that finding will only be temporal since it isnt the actual problem

see all i said was basically "i think you are biased towards other people's relationship with their parents because of your own. just my opinion"

and you took it as an attack. not even only an attack towards that area of your knowledge but of your knowledge as a whole. can you see why i find it far from normal?

Projecting normally implies not seeing what you project as belong to yourself. I'm very aware of my parents, I'm not trying to hide it from myself by seeing it in other people. Thus, it fails as a projection.

Come to think of it, no grown man fondles the penis of his child for a minute without realising it. Sounds like you're the one projecting after all.

Why does everything have to do with my reaction? I'll react however I see it. You're trying to force your vision of things on me and since I know it to be wrong, I have no reason to let you keep trying.

I don't think I need advice from someone who fails to see abuse on such a gross scale as yours. Just don't do it to kids yourself, you might end up in prison.

my psychiatrist disagrees with you. if he thought differently he would have encouraged me through it.

>>37137498
>Why does everything have to do with my reaction?
because you're the one saying im attacking you, and you are the one saying im hurting your credibility, also your reaction is not the only thing i mentioned it was just one among others

by the way i dont say you're projecting your parents abuse onto others but rather your inability to overcome it. you assume too readily that their problem is an unresolved problem with their parents

now think again: imagine you were an actual psychologist (as you seem to want to be). would you have such little tact around a person who suffered sexual abuse just because you think such patient is provoking you? you think im projecting my own problems onto you yet you use it to hurt me? just imagine i was actually an abuse victim and you could hurt me with such words. you lose control too easily when we are talking about such subjects Nick. i just want to tell you i still appreciate you and what you are trying to do (otherwise i wouldnt have tried to help you)

Well this thread went to hell pretty quickly

Just force yourself. You can't do it willingly, so push yourself to do it. You have to muster up all of your will power to make yourself change. It may be hard, but it will pay off.

You guys can give up on this, but I'll try to bring it back.

I'm very late to reply. If you read this Nick, you may give up, but the thread will still live on. Although it will have a hole that only you can fill, we will still be here. At least I'd try to keep it going.

I feel like i never wanted to do anything of the things that somebody would call own will forcing myself wont be enough ive always acted on fear of the consequence i think that it feels like having nothing to lose but is more like i have nothing to win

Well, you need to find some way to convince yourself that you get something out of it.
