Im typing this for the ones who are
.in conflict with the media
i meen this.
while traped in the SI loop it
becomes to easy to get a grip of what was normal behaviour for your self or others in what seems to be the normal world outside.
i remember being very angery about the media
films or ad's on TV or even street ad's
I felt that the SI thing was an over looked problem by everyone who didnt understand it.
i became very defencive i decided
these people were blind and thoughtless to people trying to cope with SI
i dont really want to discribe the ads or films here but you will know the type of things.
some are outrageous and often come without a warning of content for someone who is coping with SI problems
at that time I even began to have huge stress at ad's with excesive use of the color red or one time it was the red ribbons wraped around a person in one of bjork music vid
i was trying to censor my own environment
and i couldnt see it was just me!
and the world will not change for me.
what good would i have done just by building a safe world as I wanted it ...
because that just caused me more problems
.it was fast becoming me aginst the world
...really i needed to cope again as a person.
i remember writing an email to try and get an ad taken off the TV
it was a heating ad with a radiator leaking
but it was R*D water making the link its like B running out ...EG= your money is running out like ..hmmmm
that ad was on all the time and i was angery
about having it stuffed in my face without warning
but to everyone else in the world it was just an crappy ad.
this post is a bit confussed
im just getting feelings out i guess
.im trying to say things can get a bit crazy and how you think the world is becoming
isnt always the way it really is.
.i sat one day hating the world so much
asking myself is it really as bad as i see it.
but i realised in the end
it was just the Altered view i had fallen in to
and forgoten how i saw things when i used to feel normal.
-
more strength to anyone who is stopping
its worth it and you are.

sorry all this is hard to read
ment to say

while traped in the SI loop it
becomes to easy to lose a grip of what was normal behaviour for your self or others in what seems to be the normal world outside.
The idea of an altered perception is good too, SI does create a new outlook on the world, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When you come out of it though, you can bring such positive thoughts into the world.
understanding at last after a few progams
on the suject were broardcast
but the 'emo' thing i think has totally
sank it.
I have to agree, maybe not emo's but that damned attention seeking self harm label thingy that comes with it. It's inflicted on all of us and I hate it.
.i have no one to talk to about this
so it can all come out in one go at times
i dont like long posts myself
so sometimes its DIY therapy hmmm
im having a bad day
--
you are right not the emo's 99% are just normal
before that it was Your must be a Goth eh?
but i dont like the way its used as an sort of poster for the emo life style
dont do it but if you put emo in google image
its about 70% SI they even have myspace layouts
with it as a full theame
the damage this marketing!$$$$$
of rock pop is doing to so many people.
say your a kid who says ok ill go full out classic emo to fit in..
so they do some SI just to be more hard core than there friends...to be like the song words.
....how many on this site started and then found out stopping was a whole new thing.?
reverse gear is a hard one sometimes!
grrrrrrr kicks soap box
Oh nos, dont kick the soap box, it's the giver of cartoons and drama.
Im posting here to disstract myself and get some feelings out
i was feeling close to hurtting myself a bit.
so..hmmm
i can reason it all till the cows come home on
how why and what but still get that impulse
when i get bad
ive notice i always seem to discribe
that something inside is screaming
but its like i cant hear it or its trapped
i got stressed about trying to reach targets i set that are to high for me.so i feel fail
and a OCD type stupid thing :[
(dont ask ) ..can just bah
Screaming would make sense, like internal screaming or the desire to just scream and be angry at something and everything. Just for a moment.
DS can be a good distraction, but it can also end up making you feel dependent and a bit depressed in my opinion. As long as it works for you :)
--------------------------------
i agree totaly i have left DS so many times
.ive wiped everything over and over to get my life back ..remove my past what ever..
there are subjects i wont talk on anymore
ive put them in a box and just closed that case...im ok with it like that.
i have a lot of trouble working out
how i am feeling
so typing what i think is going on sometimes helps me work it out.
i start to see something
the 2 is for i's that i posted by accident in vertical rows that follow and cant change .it after.
stupid eh?
And with the 2 thing... i don't understand what you are meaning sorry.
