I'm not sure why you'd expect good advice in the first place. Would you ask a homeless person on the street how to be succesful in life? :/ |

^agreed. Comfort, empathy and an ear is what you get. Any advice you may receive will be given with the best intentions though.

Having said that I don't fully agree with what you say because each of us has a different sort of SA and there's always someone you can learn something from. ^^ BL beat me to it |

Of course if someone doesn't know how to deal with SA then it's unlikely they would know what to tell someone else, but there are many people here who have found ways of dealing with it and can give good advice, even if they still struggle themselves. |

I dunno there's some good advice givers on the forum. But sometimes an outside perspective is also good. On Ds forums, on topics like anxiety/depression the advice can be radically different.

As for the substantive point, I have no useful advice. My SA is currently low/nonexistent due to the immense shock I've experienced. Not something that I would recommend, even if it could be replicated. |

The anti-recovery, I think people do tend to ignore the recovery forum. Maybe a subconscious view sa people don't view other sa people's approaches with too high an esteem. Or it's just unhabitualised. This being said there is good advice on this site- post a thread and I've been given some good advice a few times. There are 'recovering' and recovered people on this site. I am a recovering- 5 years ago I was agoraphobic. |

'A zombie***8217;s digestive tract is completely dormant. The complex system that processes food, extracts nutrition, and excretes waste does not factor into a zombie***8217;s physiology. Autopsies conducted on neutralized undead have shown that their ***8216;food***8217; lies in its original, undigested state at all sections of the tract. This partially chewed, slowly rotting matter will continue to accumulate, as the zombie devours more victims, until it is forced through the anus, or literally bursts through the stomach or intestinal lining.' Also if zombies did excrete, the stench would cause survivors to cover their nose, which doesn't happen. Look at the Walking Dead for instance. This is never the case; we have seen bloated zombies however, which suggests that their digestive systems aren't functioning properly, and that their bodies just accumulate food until they become larger. |

I'm thinking how I wish my glasses hadn't broken today because I really don't want to go out today. I have an old pair to wear and my broken glasses are still wearable if I'm careful but gah, scary going to the opticians whether it's today or tomorrow or whenever.

Re: Type What You're Thinking About Right Now (7)
Tackling SA isn't ****ing rocket science. You force yourself to try the things you're scared of. You may feel you need others' encouragement to do so, whether that be from people on here or counsellors but tackling the fear is the only way you're going to beat it.
With that in mind, why people use others on here as a scapegoat for them failing to, let's not beat around the bush, having the bollocks to approach new people at that current moment in time, I don't know. You're not some wise old sage for pointing out that people here don't have all the answers, yet that doesn't spare us from subsequent analysis of this site (happens every time). If you don't like the site in its current state, either leave or instigate change. Ordinarily, I would say you're welcome no matter what but if we're dispensing with "hug box orgies", fine; my advice is like it or lump it. |

Re: Type What You're Thinking About Right Now (7)
^I think I know what you meant. People on here have good advice to give but there are some who choose to ignore it because it interferes with their plan to swim in a pool of blissful self pity. Something like that?
I'll be honest, I'm not the best at taking advice myself sometimes. |

Re: Type What You're Thinking About Right Now (7)
knowing what to do and doing it are different things and you have to be ready to tackle the fear and live with the risks and that's something each person has to decide for themselves advice will only get you so far.
I don't get the hugs thing myself never have, hugs have never fixed my problems or made me feel better about them but if it helps others that's wonderful. been thinking about things many things. my mom is still unwell I notice it more every week. I'm struggling to be more social and talk to more people I don't know. I need to get past my fear that when they get to know me they'll not think I'm a "freak and a dumb ass" and piss off as fast as they can. I think I've spent so much time alone that being around people ( even ones I know and like ) is so alien to me. |

Nevermind it just changed back, that was weird. |
