CONFESSIONAL thread (ANONYMOUS so tell us the juicy stuff!)

[DiSiLLUSiON]

I was reading back and I missed this post:

first of all - read Delivered from Distraction from Dr Ned Hallowell. It's amazing. And he's a doctor who has ADD, and the medication didn't work for him, so what he has achieved in his life he has done without medication.

For anyone who is coping with ADD or who thinks they may be - read the book. Dr Ned Hallowell is a wonderful writer, and what he says makes so much sense.

I'll look it up, thank you.

I am a little with today's confessions. Things just won't compute and I keep catching this faint smell of burning plastic. I am also very very curious as to who is... practicing their hoovering... with his best friend behind his wife's back. To much! TO MUCH!

 

[Gryffindorian]

Hmm. He could sit down and talk with his mother and sister; subtly ask if these things really happened. However, it could be disastrous for their family bond if he accuses them unjustly. It's also probable that if it really happened, neither will admit to it, which means that talking to them about it has no use for him and can only make things worse.

Perhaps a hypno-therapist can shed some light onto these memories; see if they are real or not.

A lot of "false" abuse memories are often introduced by so-called therapists who are supposed to help a person deal with a painful past. Instead, said hypnotists introduce ideas and suggestions into the person's head. The poster should definitely look into seeing a therapist, although not a hypnotherapist, per se. It's often difficult when it happens at such a young age, and one has a vague memory of the event.

We're getting close to Macdonald triad territory.

Are you sure you don't mean "McMartin trial"? 'Cuz that's what it sounded like to me.

As for that one other guy's confession: To borrow a line from The Bill - that man is so far in the closet, he might as well be in Narnia.

EDIT: People who aren't in touch with their sexuality often go through great lengths to deny or hide their sexual orientation. I felt like that before I came to the realization that I could get attracted to both sexes.

It doesn't matter how you try to rationalize it. "Oh, we don't really kiss" or "I'm not really attracted to other guys." Then explain why this has been going on for 15 years now. *Cue Brokeback Mountain theme.*

Wel, it probably doesn't mean anything, but I am on your side, msbae.


Woke up one day and realized I had eaten myself to 180 pounds in less than half a year. Right then and there I knew I needed to change, so I started -- though slowly. Cut to about eight or nine months later, and I have lost 50 pounds. One has to give a fuck to make an effort, and have a strong will. These people you discussed, obviously do not.

That's also why they will never make anything out of themselves. They're more concerned with American Idol and movies than they are about themselves. That sort of behavior is understandable (although, not excusable) in high school but, here in the world, not so much.

One day they are going to wake up at 50, have swollon angels, be only able to walk for short periods, and sleep msot of the day, and have horrible pains, and they'll wonder why, and they use Universal Health Care so we -- who had nothing to do with the way they ate themselves to -- have to foot their medical bill.


Maybe instead of teaching Europe out ofthe ass in school, they could keep pounding home bodily health and teach what happens later on when you don't eat properly. None of these kids in high school are tough about how hard it is to find clothing when you weight 500 pounds, how much money you got to make to afford all that food, the pains in your legs and back from it, how your metabolism goes int othe shitter -- making it even harder to recover from such a state, or that eventually you get to a point where you cant' even wipe your own ass and have to use a shower head with a hose and spray the shit off down the shower drain (never mind, TrekBBS'ers, peeing the shower -- some folk are shitting down it! Maybe even some here...). They need to be scared into reality.

Amen.

... have swollon angels...

Is that supposed to say "swollen ankles"?

Am I the only one thinking Holdfast is being a bit 'creative' with these confessions?

A lot of these confessions cause "is that the guy who that that thing with the other thing?" type thoughts whenever I scan the forums.

Though... it is just good to know my confessions would be far less provocative

It's very possible that we're just that freaky on this forum.

The truth is of course very much stranger than fiction.

That's why people should always tell lies, if it all possible.

I was just berating myself for thinking we were his latest research. Bad Deckerd I thought. He couldn't possibly be needing to publish or anything.

I think that would worry me more! All of this coming from one mind.

That everyone else is getting creative has occurred to me though

 

[msbae]

FWIW, I was my usual brutally honest self. I don't need to be creative and make things up for this thread. Now, I'm just wondering what other stories I should tell...

There will be no stories involving sex, though. I might be a little strange at times but, I'm no deviant.

I was thinking that all the 'anonymous' confessions were from Holdy himself.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

The others acted like Emo faggots, got pissy and immediately jumped to conclusions.

Warning for trolling. Comments to PM.

To the person who wants to use a dual account, I have the perfect forum full of retards that you can go to and flame. They will definately flame back and it will be entertaining. Just PM me if you want, I wont tell anyone who you are.

I don't see anyone on the previous page that looks like a dual to me, so let's not do this again please. If you have a problem with something someone said please let me or one of the other Miscellaneous mods know in a PM.

The thread's resurrection prompted a couple of people to send in anonymous confessions:


The first one began with this line:



Always a brilliant start in my book, and the confession does NOT disappoint:



Dude.

Wow.

Oh, man. I can't believe I read this post while at work. Now my employer's going to say I look at weird sites. You know what, it's okay to be gay or bisexual, but it doesn't look like your partner knows. (1) Cheating on her isn't good and (2) you could be putting her health at risk when you sleep with a different person.

Yeah I agree...I just don't like the cheating aspect of it..no matter who it's with. You need to come to terms with your bi-sexuality which I believe you are. There is just no way you'll be able to blow someone without a little bit of an attraction...this is more then just two mates helping each other out.

Yeah but why would a person remember this if it didn't happen. I don't think the OP has went to a therapist to implant these "false" memories...leading me to believe that his mother had in fact abused him...that may also explain the rage you had against that kitten..you were in control of it's fate and it's situation...unlike when your mom abused you.

but I'm glad that you never killed that kitten and that your violent tendencies didn't mature (I hope). I really would see a therapist about all this...there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and it really can be quite helpful. You just need to find the right therapist and that doesn't always happen on the first try.

I'm not saying the OP's memory is false or he just made it up, but there have been instances when the person seeing a therapist starts believe he/she was actually molested when that wasn't the case. The OP should definitely seek counseling.

I agree, I personally know of a few cases where a therapist didn't work out at all; suggesting all sorts of things that were wildly off the mark. Fortunately, it would take a weak-willed person (or a child) to take those ideas as facts. It's more probable that people would recognize the person they had in front of them and request another therapist.
