Every once in awhile this subject appears and reappears concerning The Problems of ANY one with a Mental Illness be it Dom or sub..
As I have posted on this subject before and I make it no Huge secret That I suffer from both a severe form of Bipolar Disorder I'm one of those rapid cycle rs.. and a severe case of PTSD from the normal causes.
Now I have been doing this a long time and have been hospitalized received ECT treatments and the whole works. Does it affect your ability to Play or Be a responsible Member of this Life.? Sure at times it does. Hey so does any that's any folks Chronic Illness. As long as you are taking your medications. You are seeing some kind of Pro who actually understands Mental Illness..not Doc Welby from next door. and and and You are open and honest of your condition with your Dominant/submissive of the nature of your illness it's triggers and how you handle things in a emergency.
Is it more difficult one way or another to have a partner/s that have such a problem. sure again at times it can be.. Mental Illness brings it's own set of problems and it's demon's can overpower even the best intentioned Dom or sub.. But in the same vein..What if Your Partner had a heart condition and was limited physically in Play/sex hmm would ya kick em out the door.. I doubt it.or for any other problem..Diabetes any of a dozen of things that can limit one..
Should You...Could You.. Would You..
Mental Illness Is difficult yet manageable. be open and honest about it
and.........
DO NOT BE F'ING ASHAMED/EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT............
Therin ends this particular rant........
