The suggestion has merit, but my concern is when it goes to far? Just saying. My opinion would be no, too much room for abuse. But, like anyone else - that's my opinion.

As opposed to 'Hardcore' or 'Reluctance' and you'd be worried about Revenge? As long as people follow the Lush rules for writing, like any other genre, it wouldn't be any abuse. Because you can find that in any category. Heck, you could find that under or fetish because some people actually like to be abused sexually. Just sayin'...

I know when I meet some one and they ask ,"what are your hobbies" and my answer is always the same" My computer" why .. because I to suffer with this ..I have had PTSD for a long time, but seems to get worse instead of better.. I have come to the point over the last 2 years if I don't HAVE to go out of my house I DON"T. I am much more comfortable here in my room by my self. I don't like being around people any more. When I do go out it is to one place, To get my hair done, and I can go there only because there is 2 ppl that work there ,they both know my problem and I get in when no one else is there. My family doesn't under stand and gets upset because I wont go out. Then if you do decide and try to explain, they aren't really listening because they tell you, just make your self,. There is NO making yourself. I have tried many different meds. talking to head Drs. ,But what works best for me is to be home in my "Safe zone". I know life will never be the same for me again. I am learning to deal with the life I have now,the isolation. But it is much better than going out and going into a panic attack. With out this thread I would have never told anyone about this. But when ppl ask you what you do alll day ,they just don't understand,So you say why bother to try and explain. I find myself even here staying to myself. Hiding behind a screen is much easier..... Simplicity xo

I don't have PTSD, nothing that I am aware of is why I am the way that I am. I just always have been from as young as I can remember. The one thing I do know is that I have a deep seeded fear of people and they scare the living crap out of me. I can feel it with even family. Outside of my mum and sister and of course my young nieces. Anyone could come and hurt me and it terrifies me. So, I too, keep myself locked away in my apartment all alone. I want to get out, I want to do thing, I want to be normal and I even try, but if I feel trapped or feel like I'm suffocating, I have to leave ASAP.

One of the biggest things I don't like people asking me is "what's new?" Because with me... It's usually nothing. I do the same things basically every day, within a routine, to help keep my stress levels down.

You do what you need to, to feel safe. Don't let anyone make you feel badly about it either. Hugs

I do agree we have a lot of categories to choose from, but that is the point, we make certain ones for a reason. I mean spanking has it's own category when that can so easily go under fetish, , and BDSM. I'm sure I can name off a few others that could fit into others as well. But I think I've seen enough Revenge type stories where we could easily have it as it's own. I do hope that Nicola reads this thread and adds her own thoughts on the matter.

Thanks everyone who has taken the time to vote or leave their thoughts. smile

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this post, but I was thinking how cool it would be if we added a category for Revenge. There are many who write those kinds of stories and I know for one, I love reading about them. So it would be neat to have it be it's own category.

What are your thoughts?

Often I would have liked to move the order of my friends while I'm on my dumfone. I do not rank my friends but sometimes just "tinker" with them. Not an important thing I know just thought I would throw it out there. Thanks

I personally don't use my phone to go on Lush, but I know a lot of people who do and all have this same issue. Some people don't have computers or internet access and can only go on their phones. It seems like no one can move their friends list while on their phone or tablets. So, I think it would be a good idea too if this could be fixed.

I don't know if it is a blind date, per-say, but I did meet someone online years and years ago. I don't know why we didn't exchange photos. It was on AOL of all things, that just goes to say how long ago it was.

Anyway, he picks me up and I was instantly not interested in him. It looked like he had just rolled out of bed, put on the first thing he found on the floor and didn't bother to comb out his hair. He obviously didn't know how to use toothpaste either.

I'm too nice but also too shy to be rude, so I stayed and had dinner with him. The conversation was light and barely there, since I didn't have much to say nor did I want the smell of his breathe on me. Once we got back into his car, he was talking about taking me back to his place. I was like whoa, hold the phone. No way! He had it in his head we were going to have sex! I ended up having to play the “my stomach hurts, maybe I have food poisoning” card. I was terrified!

Thankfully he took me home and I never contacted him again.

Sometimes, people try to find a cure, a way to cheer you up, they try to fix you. it's a beautiful intention that leaves me feeling worse many times. it reminds me that i'm broken, that there is something wrong with me. my wife has become very good at just listening. she doesn't pass judgement, she doesn't offer solutions, she simply allows me to open up and after, often, it's enough to push me out of that place.

You know, I really don't care for when people try to cheer me up or make me feel better either. I'm usually pretty dark and irritated at that point and I see no light. And when someone tries to help, it's like they are forcing me to be something I literally can't do at that moment. It is a process, one even ourselves can't force. It just happens. Talking (when we want and on our own terms) is usually the best thing. The other person just needs to shut their mouth (lol) and let us vent. It really can help.

It's very easy to feel isolated when you're in the middle of it. that's the enemy, you know. feeling alone, like no one cares, or gets it, or even knows. of course, sometimes they don't, cause we get so good at hiding it until the lid blows off. i've had a lot of conversations in the past 6 months where i've been on the edge of wanting to talk about this, and never found the right words, so i just pushed it away and pretended things were fine. i think that's the important thing, that we find ways to open up and trust that someone will listen. that's what this thread is all about, just a good way to start a dialogue. thank you everyone who has been, or will, able to push past the fear and the shame and remind the rest of us that, hey, we're in good company, or at least in the company of good, wonderful, beautiful people.

You're right, people do feel like no one can relate or understand what that person is going through. That's because no two people go through something the same. Even if they have the same events happen to them, it's going to have a different impact on them different. Yes, it helps when you can talk to someone who can at least relate to it in some sense. For me, it is always hardest trying to explain how and why I am wired the way I am to someone who has never suffered from depression or anxiety. It becomes frustrating. Hugs you

The semi colon project seems to have started back in 2013 and has been a huge awareness for people who suffer from depression and being suicidal. Of course anyone can be apart of this project, but My story is not over yet. Is towards anyone who is still alive and surviving this thing we call life.

I have a personal account on Tumblr and I've seen hundreds of stories on there about why people have gotten this tattoo, along the photos of their tattoo. Many of them are come from being depressed. Since I suffer from Bipolar disorder I know how hard it is. I've been battling with Bipolar and anxiety since around the age of nine, but I wasn't officially diagnosed until I was fourteen after I tried to commit suicide. I spent almost two weeks in the hospital and all I wanted was to die. I had many reasons why I didn't feel like I could continue to live.

Eventually they found the right kind of medication for me and sent me on my way, along with a therapist and I was starting to be okay. Until two years later, when I went downhill again and tried once more to kill myself. I spent another two weeks in the hospital.

Being Bipolar for me, is like being on a roller coaster blindfolded. You don't know when those up hills are coming but you sure do hope and pray for them. Because those are the times when things are good, evened out, life almost makes sense to you. But with uphills, comes downhills. And those come smacking you in the face so hard your whole world goes black. You see nothing but darkness and unhappiness. Nothing can make you better and when you or anyone else tries, it only makes it worse.

Lately for me, I feel like I'm coasting, which is more negative than good. I feel as though I have nothing to offer the world and I'm better off not being here. It's not that I want to 'die', at least not right now. I just feel like I don't belong. I was a mistake. I don't bring anything to the world. I believe firmly we all are put on this world for one reason or another, but there are some bad eggs that get hatched and I truly believe I'm one of them.

I'm currently on medication and have been for a few months. I just don't like how I feel. I'm seeing my doctor next will and will talk to her about how I'm feeling, I'm just not sure how much more she can do for me. I guess we will have to see.

I do know one thing though. When I save enough money I'd very much love to get this tattoo. I think it would be a nice reminder to have and see as proof that My story is not over yet.

I hadn't really noticed until lately but when you leave a comment on someone's story there is no actual "post" button. You have to hit return/enter to post it. I have noticed several people, myself included, hitting return to try and start a new paragraph in their comment and accidentally posting it only to have to delete and start again. Just find it to be an odd little omission on such an important part of the site. I'm sure gav could whip up a post button, no sweat. Then we could actually have spaces in our comments.

I know I have this issue too, because for the most part I leave pretty lengthy posts and I can't do it like we used to be able to. Now I have to pull up a word doc and type up my comment, copy and paste it into the comment space and then do it like that. Though many people use their phones, which is harder. I'd love to see if Gav could fix this issue.

I'm not one bit surprised at the winners and the runner ups. I read many of the stories who placed and also ones who didn't. You all did such a wonderful job and a lot of you I look up to as writers. Congratulations for placing, what an achievement. One that I truly do hope to achieve one day as well.

I used to have Messenger, but that was almost ten years ago. I was introduced to and transferred all my friends to . I still use and now also Hang outs and even . I didn't even know Messenger was still a thing...

I'd keep my sight. Though I'd hate to lose my touch and hearing, but I'd learn to live without them. I wouldn't mind giving up taste, that would be the first to go.

Not totally naked. At least panties, sometimes a t-shirt. Just as long as the fan is on and I have plenty of blankets.

I've never owned one, but have slept in one once and that was enough for me. They're not comfortable whatsoever.

No, I REALLY don't. I'd be livid if he ever did. That's nasty.

I've had mine pierced. I got them done when I was 18, but I removed them almost two years later. But, I don't think I'd pierce any part of my body just because someone else wanted me to.

I came here first because of the stories, but then decided to post some of the stories I had written over the last few years. Growing as a writer and the close selected friends I have are what keep me here.

While thinking them up, hell yes. Writing them, no, that's a different part of my brain. Reading them to someone afterward is the sexiest part.

With a voice like yours, it is no wonder. I know I always enjoy listening! Big Hugs

While I'm writing them, often times I do get turned on. Sometimes I need to pleasure myself before I can continue. Sometimes I just wait until I'm finished before doing so.
