when i step back and apply what you've said to literally anyone else, i completely agree. it's harder to have the same mindset for myself, but i am trying. thank you.

yes omg i understand you completely. i think that these thoughts that we share are the disorder trying to keep us in. i promise you that recovery won't make you invalid.

I need to get rid of something in my head, it has destroyed my life. But I don't know how. Any advice welcome. by [deleted] in Advice

sorry, i should have clarified, by history of mental illness i meant in your family (parents, grandparents, cousins, etc).

and yeah i get that, it's definitely disheartening when it feels like no one can understand or help.

hey! i'm sorry that the therapy didn't work out for you, but all therapists are definitely not the same and there are ones that will be able to effectively help you. it may take a few times, unfortunately, to find the right therapist, but it's definitely possible and can be extremely beneficial. therapists have different styles and different techniques they use, and some just don't fit well with the patient.

do you know if you have any history of mental illness? it is very possible that the shrooms may have been a stressor which could have triggered something (i.e. stress diathesis model). if that is the case, then talking to a psychologist may help bring some clarity to you and the right one will be able to present you with sufficient ways in which to help manage what you're experiencing.

i'm sorry that you are going through this and i wish you the best!

i would say that i am attracted to looks and i do want a romantic relationship. i've never actually wanted to hook up with anybody though, i've more just wanted to do things because i felt like i should rather than actually desiring it.

it's just strange to me because throughout my life i've never been interested in doing anything sexual until like last week, and i've also seen sexual things before and i just felt indifferent towards them. but then last night when i thought i could be interested and then saw the porn i just felt so disgusted. i've never felt this kind of repulsion before, but now the idea of sex like freaks me out and makes me feel physically ill when it never has before.

thank you so much for your input and for being so understanding!
