	SD! : Web boards : Submission : "New website for dom/mes with head-problem subs" 1 2 3 4 5 New website for dom/mes with head-problem subs (41) 14 Sep 08, 7:15 AM Kurtis US(AL), 5 mths Y! Another thank you for the bump up. I to had not seen the site and am currently rivited by the essays, cant stop reading them. Master Raven my hats off to you. This was a touch of brilliance for a new member to be able to peer into the lives of others who live it. I to have a simlilar story to those here but unfortunatley mine didnt end on the greatest of notes, that is however for another time. As far as the name goes that so many have expressed some concern about, I would like to say as a first time observer that the name "Broken Toys" immediatley brought to mind the land of misfit toys from the rudolph the rednosed rain deer story. Since that was my first thought concerning the title I in no way had someone being broken, worse off, or without value as my first impression. My thoughts on the matter were as the story depicts. something not uniform or the "norm" yet still finds acceptance and purpose. If I remember right the uniqueness of the jelly squirting water gun made it a pretty treasured item and I still havent found one that will squirt jelly without getting clogged up LOL Anyway thanks again great site. 14 Sep 08, 8:26 AM leashhand UK, 4 mths Y! Ive just had a quick look at the site - I will most definitely be going back for a proper read through. People shouldnt forget though, its not just the toys that can get broken, sometimes the toymakers or owners or players or any of a thousand other terms can be cracked under the glossy paint they like to show everyone. Thank you for this. 14 Sep 08, 2:55 PM submissivesmartass US, 21 mths Raven-Thank You for using Your time and energy to help O/others. I will pass this along to my Owner. On the term "Broken Toys" - I love it! As was mentioned before, I am a "toy" and I am "broken" (PTSD), so it is quite fitting. My Owner is one of the few people in my life that knows just how "broken" I am. I have a successful career and am well-educated. I'm sure to the outside world I have it all together. He is one of the few people that I feel safe enough with to let it out. It has helped my healing process, and probably has made us closer. But the downside is that he gets the brunt of my angst. He is always kind and patient with me, but I know it must not always be easy for him. Thank You for giving him a venue of support. Warmest wishes and thoughts of Peace to You, Your boy and Your new site. Thank You for sharing Your wisdom with the rest of us. "I'll tell you," said she, in the same hurried passionate whisper,"what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter-as I did!"-Dickens "Great Expectations" 15 Sep 08, 1:22 AM ravenkaldera US(MA), 3 yrs I've actually got a few more essays that need to go up, so I'll bump this up when they're up there. Glad people like it. I hope to get a lot more soon. -Raven Kaldera -If you're in charge, it's all on your head. If it's not all on your head, then you're not really in charge. 15 Sep 08, 2:27 PM 691-475-658 UK, 7 mths Thank you for posting this... and what a truly wonderful idea. I quite like the term Broken Toy too... and I do feel it describes me perfectly I'm not broken in the sense you've quoted but am broken physically and the experiences and opinions do seem to echo what I'm/we're currently going through emotionally... and has helped very much. I think it's even allowed me to lay some ghosts to rest.

Seriously. I'm a crip on a regular basis. So for me it's not a big deal to say that. I'm physically broken too. My brain zigs when it should zag and as a result I get depressed and lack energy. There ya go, busted. I'd rather have a Porsche with a couple dings than a cosmetically flawless Camry anyway. krista The thing you have to remember about girls is that the hyperfluid bearings under the camshafts can be miscalibrated along either axis, so regular maintanence is required to keep resonance in the titanium casing from causing abrasions against the primary sprocket joists. 18 Sep 08, 8:52 PM tearsforpayne US(MI), 7 mths This is a WONDERFUL site, I am glad that someone thought to do something of this subject. What I particularly like are the real life experiences, things that actually helped them. I love the name Broken Toys! I have been told I was "fractured" before, and actually laughed to think I wasnt perfect <smile>. I had much much much verbal and emotional discord over a long number of years. I always thought, though (until the last 5 years) that if you weren't physically abused, nothing happened. Push beyond it all, go on with your life and deal with it. As I continued on with my previous owner, things became clearer and I could see my reactions were what they were. Thank you for moving this up, or I wouldnt have ever found it! Good job. 19 Sep 08, 6:36 AM zischa US(TX), 11 mths Y! First to Raven- I'm glad your getting more submissions for the site. I look forward to reading the new writings. To everyone else- When you stop thinking of mental health as a taboo subject, remember that it is a medical diagonsis just like any other, has medical needs to varing degrees (depending on the diagonsis), it becomes easier to talk about and treat. Yes, it is and can be very personal but so is alot of what we do in this lifestyle. I chose to write about my Mental Health, and experiences in the hopes that it would help somebody else. zischa Edited 19 Sep 08, 6:37 AM by zischa 23 Sep 08, 9:03 PM MalyKot US, 6 mths Raven, I was thrilled to see a website finally devoted to this issue. I've spent more than a little time over the past few years googling things like "mental illness and BDSM," but I never found anything relevant. I deal with seasonal depression, an anxiety disorder, and on thankfully rare occasions those two manifest in mild psychotic episodes. A history of abuse tops it all off in a giant ice cream sundae of crazy, but I'm a completely functional person and 99% of people never guess anythings wrong. I give M/S a lot of credit for helping me cope. Admittedly nothing I've written on SR has been very decent (posting at usually 2:00 am makes me a tad unintelligible), but I have a psych background and have worked in journalism, so if you'd like an article on the practical aspect of dealing with those mental illnesses with which I'm most familiar or something dealing with finding D/S's place within established psychological theory I'm ready and waiting! Best of luck in your venture! Next page
