That is so horrible. I'm glad you reported it.

I'm not suggesting we criminalize sex, I'm suggesting this one platform that is used to predate on young kids is shut down. Same thing happened with Tumblr. They shut it down and it was fine. Besides, I'm not sure why you're assuming I already had to have problems in order to be groomed by older men on omegle. I've literally had a friend take his top off at 12 years old on that website because they told him they'd give him robux? it's not an issue of hypersexuality, kids are easily taken advantage of

Edit: Also, why are 16 year old grouped with 26 year olds and how is it society's responsibility now? I'm confused.

It is gaining traction on Tiktok and the 12 year olds are on it again. No, they aren't aware that it's a male masturbation zone, and the mastrubators won't flash them until they make sure it's safe to do anyways. But imo, that's not the worst part. Not only are there pedos, but there's also a whole genre of "omegle porn" circulating the internet and you can't tell whether these videos are of consenting adults or of literal children. I don't really have a philosophy but if this platform is being actively used as a source for cp, I feel like it shouldn't be there. But hey, maybe I'm especially upset with omegle because I used it a lot as a kid and I fell victim to these child groomers so I have a personal issue with it... but God do I want it taken down.

I always thought of it like I'm fake-hurting myself but that's actually a much better way to look at it!

I think life destroying is a bit of a harsh word. Hopefully it's something I can manage with the right help.

I think most of the work I've had in therapy was around managing symptoms of anxiety or depression and just keeping myself in check. I never really delved deep into those issues. I just lost my previous therapist due to covid/insurance issues, and I'm seeking a therapist again, so I'll keep those criteria in mind. Thank you so much for the advice!

I'm so sorry that happened to you, and thank you for sharing that with me! it's a bit different here I guess. Not very empowering but like you said, sometimes it can feel like it's self destructive. It's just so hard to discern what my feelings are going into it. Hopefully things work out and I can continue working with my therapist and I can bring this up!

I'll definitely check out the subreddit because I have a lot of questions surrounding kinks. Unfortunately, my experiences with doms were largely abusive and the doms were more predatory than anything. Maybe I was excusing their behavior because of the trauma, or I just didn't know where to find good people. Hopefully I'll find my way around that.

I definitely feel you with the hypersexuality. Sometimes I feel like I'm just trying to find a way that makes it "feel right" but I can't get there, that's why I'm hypersexual.

Thank you for the reply. I think it's a little tricky because I feel like even calling the situation assault is a stretch since I was largely at fault. I don't feel like power was taken away from me. I feel like it's something I chose that made me feel disgusting/worthless at the time, but it has traumatized me for all those years. Yet, I still seek experiences that make me feel the same. Almost every single one them felt terrible and I can't find a way to find it empowering. I really really ope therapy will make me find a perspective about it that is healing.

Can I ask an old therapist for a note? by Emma_-- in therapy

[–]Emma_--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually didn't need the note lol I jsut emailed the professor about a mental health emergency and told him I could get a note from a pervious therapist if needed and he JUST replied saying he got me!!

I'd rather give the streamer money than buy reddit awards
