soooo . . . i wondered, is there anything about deep emotional things like depression, that links with deep emotional things like swinging, or would any forum have a similiar number of sufferers onboard , regardless of the subject matter?

All better now, and making up for lost time due to carrying a lifetime`s worth of unrecognised behavioural issues.

I've often wondered about whether some people who are suffering with other problems, perhaps tend to use swinging as a way of addressing some sort of deep seated need. Two ladies, with whom I have separately had some fun over the past year, have both suffered some sort of nervous breakdown (and no I don't think meeting was the cause ). Each seemed to be under a lot of pressure, & seeing more & more men up until the point at which their lives "crashed". I have wondered whether this could be categorised as some sort of self-abuse.
It was a real shame for both, as I got to know each separately via MSN over a period of time, & they were both lovely people. From a selfish point of view, it was very frustrating as they were not just good friends of mine, but great fucks as well!!!!!

Someone very close to me has had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for the past 4 years, They have found it very diffficult to live with, and indeed their marriage broke up because of it. People often think you only get PTSD from fighting in the wars etc, sadly no. This was triggered by a series of events i.e physical trauma, and mental shock. They will recover. But it will be a long process. It helped a great deal, to have the feelings labled instead if thinking she was going mad!! which of course she wasn't. But to know that she wasn't the only person tn the world to be going through it also helped.

long answer now!
when we've had depression threads before, i was a bit taken aback how many contributed. now in the grand scheme of things, it was actually very few out of the whole membership, but still seemed a lot.

Hmmmm not really sure about this Venus if it's a serious thread. :shock:
A close friend had some serious problems a few years back and it was a horrible experience to see what they went through.
On a lighter note it reminds me of the OFAH episode where Del Boy goes the Doc and he asks him if he smokes, he says yes, then the Doc says, drink and he says oh yes that's nice of you I'll have a large scotch
Venus why can't you just do posts like the Funk:
"Hey, what colour is everyone's wallpaper?"

butters999999:
I have three times once after my mother died once after my father died and once after I was told I had cancer. The once after my mother died was the worst I had a breakdown. The others were mainly panic attacks.
Everyone handles things differently

You must be one very special lady to have such a profound impact on our Venus ......... you made her lip wobble and everything

Ahhhh, but if I had had a mental illness in the past and it hadn't been diagnosed as such, how would I know?

Capricorn women:
Don't need much foreplay - you go from zero to WOW in nothing flat! Not interested in exotic variation; only in staying power. Since you like to dominate you like to be astride your man, set a rhythm, and please yourself. Once into the rhythm, lovemaking becomes a wild contest with orgasm as the prize and you can depend on getting there more than once. Also a scratcher and a screamer. Best sex mates: Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces.
