Should I just not engage with this at all?

Question

So, most of my tastes have been kinky since before I knew what that word meant. I love the idea of it. However, I have some issues with trusting people and past issues with anxiety/depression. Should I just not then? I can keep day to day life together, but that does sound like a problem for the ‘sane’ part of ssc.

Answer

I have a history of depression and anorexia, I currently struggle with anxiety. It's a part of who I am; but so is my "kinky" lifestyle. I started participating in bdsm with my husband when we had been dating for a few months. I trusted him, he trusted me and he understood my mental health history. He was considerate of my needs and boundaries. And to be honest, at least half of my kinky friends have some type of mental health history. something like 60% of Americans struggle with depression, although most go undiagnosed. I suggest being extra particular about who you trust and how quickly you jump into things, but your diagnosis doesn't get to decide what you do to make you happy. BDSM has helped me regain my confidence, my self esteem and a lot of feeling of control over my life that I misplaced during my eating  disorder. Good luck and stay safe!
