| my current storyline of my character remembering childhood abuse (psychical, mental, sexual) may contain things that may be "triggers" to those of you who have had to deal with such abuses. if so, please don't read my RPs.
i had to deal with all 3 growing up. this "storyline" is like therapy for me. while intense and totally fucked up, in a strange way I feel like if I write these things out in good RPs, and start winning, in a weird way, it'll be like I'm beating my actual memories, that I'm beating my past.
i don't expect anybody to understand....just putting it out there. | |

| I've always said that RP's are very therapeutic. I can't count the number of times I put a lot of personal shit out there in the disguise of some fucked up philosophy of Chuck's. A lot of my darker stuff came when I was suffering from hardcore depression. Ironically, my depression won me two world titles Point is, don't ever feel bad about putting things like that in an RP. If it's entertaining to read (not that child abuse is entertaining, but...fuck, you know what I mean), and you put a little warning like you did telling people there's some questionable content in there, then you're in the clear. And if it helps you in your real life, that's all the better. Anyway, much appreciated about the warning. | |

| I guess it's different for me because I never suffered from any of those things, so that's probably why my RPs aren't very much like therapy. I think using RP's as therapy is great though, as I know that it can help you express a lot of emotion through story. Anyway, yeah, what Chuck said, as long as you think it's good stuff, don't hold back Timmy |

i don't expect anybody to understand....just putting it out there. Tim. one of my Axel RPs a lil while back was designed to do a couple things like this. I dealt with losing my best friend, my brother, over ten years ago by putting him in my RP. I have not lived a day since his death without the crushing depression losing him laid on me. I also included my 6 yr old daughter in the work, she died of a form of lukemia at age 6 and I always wonder what it would be like to talk to her again. Would she have my attitude, my sarcasm....Her mom and I fought constantly and the doctor and her mom banned me from the hospital near the end and it crushed me. Writing both of these incredible people into my world again was huge therapy so I fully understand....Keep on keepin on man. |

| Only chuck and jason and apollos and SD will be able to attest to this, but a lot of my earlier rp's and shit were dark. Not like a little dark...i mean fucking D-A-R-K (we talkin' James Shark dark here people ). I was going through a fucking miserable place with no friends and no family to help me get out. RP'ing was all i had as a vent, it was the only way for me to get the demons out of me man. Believe me, if anyone knows what it's like to have rp'ing as a form of therapy man, it's me. I look forward to running this storyline with you Timmy. I promise that I will try and uphold my end of things and make this shit as realistic as possible. If you need anything from me to set up rp's or segments or whatever, let me know dude. I will gladly do my part to try and get you what you need in order to write the demons down and get 'em out | |
