I like this article, it describes MDD very well and ways to help control/ accept it.

Extremely well written and insightful, thank you for putting this together. I hope it’s ok for me to send a link to this to friends to help them understand. I can’t seem to explain things as well as you do.

Personally I didn't assume you did write it yourself, but thanks for the clarification Wynn! And it is an interesting read, so thanks for sharing. |

At the end of a hard day of MaDDing and some dissociating, while also enjoying being present with some friends and loving my g/f, falling asleep at my computer I see this fascinating article. I ate it up. But, the concluding paragraph I disagree with. The writer states that the problem now is to find something to fill up the space created in the psyche by weeding out the DDing(not the exact words). I have been finding that when I have the presence of mind to stay present and not go into DD, or to come back quickly when I become aware that I am doing it, I then feel the emotions - inferiority, insecurity, dissociation, self-consciousness.... in the company of people; depression, hopelessness, panic-attacks.. when I am alone. So I get to live through the unpleasant real feelings of a maladapted person in harsh, painful world. I remember seeing the expression on the wall at an NA meeting place (I was going to the AA meeting) "We cannot open the doors of Heaven to let you in; but we can open the gates of hell to let you out." It is like DDiB did not offer me a Rose Garden but a chance to live my life for real. If I am not able to take the harsh realities of life in the real world then I am forced to think maybe I really am not all that much; like instead of being a capable person who just doesn't have confidence maybe I really am not that capable. That would explain why I have been a failure in most things most of my life. Maybe it has not been a lot of bad luck that has been sabotaging me but - as people have told me all my life - successful people make their own luck; winners overcome setbacks instead of whining about them. No, for me the question is not what to do to fill the gap in the psyche that was taken up with DDing, but how much of this reality can I take? ... before I think about escaping into suicide instead of fantasy? |
