This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, I do my best, normally, to actually admit and thus learn from mistakes.

I'm of the age now where I've realized I'm probably not going to be able to change my seemingly fundamentally inexorable bullheadedness when I am, for whatever reason, very convicted about something.

... So, that necessitates the self awareness to realize 1) that I am wrong 2) how I came to be wrong and 3) how I can try to avoid being wrong in the future.

... currently, my conclusion remains the same: Do not attempt a logical argument when exhausted and very hungry.

lol.

... I'm doing much better than a year ago, PTSD is not fun, learning how to disengage from hypervigilance mode ... is a skill, hooray for CBT.

I'm gonna say the same to you I said to my GP when she tried to prescribe CBT for my ADHD diagnosis - I do not see how beating my balls to a pulp could be considered therapeutic.

The trick is calming down, and seriously considering, as if you were an outside observer of yourself...

... why you like having a chasity cage clamped on you, what environment triggers cause you to desire dommy mommy stepping on them, and then realizing that, with awareness, you can choose to instead perhaps, jam a rod into your utethra.

Its kind of a zen thing, sort of.

(ahem, lol =P)
