Self Care -- Is it a thing?

Hi, forgive me if this belongs somewhere else. I am interested in self-care. I am basically shy, and although enemas are very sexual for me, they are also about self-care. A lot of things in my life are that way.

I sometimes wonder if part of the problem with some sex partners is that they are barreling through their fantasies without taking a moment to stop and feel. There's nothing wrong with most fantasy fulfillment, but if you are going to get into kinky sex, or multiple partners, or whatever (and no judgment here) I think it is important to stop along the way and feel. Just feel.

And maybe I am over-thinking the whole thing. But I like connection. I like connection between partners, friends, even friends with benefits. Connection and healing are everything. And no, I'm not that spiritual -- I have my dark side. But I do like to slow down occasionally.

How do you all view self-care?

This is a nice post to read.

In order to self care properly,we must know ourselves inside out and be happy with who we are.

How we care for ourselves will all be different,as we all are different.

For me my role playing is a way of self caring, as I use it to get over phobias and an abused past.

Peace,

What is "self care"?

I think this is amounts to healing oneself mentally from being affected by some issue or other.

This is what "self care" is.

If the OP didn't mean that, she tried to make up her own word.

If you take all the psychobabble bullshit out of the article, it boils down to taking care of yourself.

I have seen articles on relativistic astrophysics define things in fewer words.

Yes, it's pretty clear she did try to make up her own word.

Thats not the only thing she made up ?? lol

I get where you're coming from. I think a lot of us feel the same way like you do. I know I have for sure.

Self care to me is making sure you take care of yourself physically and mentally (especially since this is so taboo in our culture) because your health matters. You can't do anything if you're unwell nor can you help others.

Love, Meg (pursuing my psych major-No, I'm not necessarily becoming a psychologist).

As far as I am concerned, the concept of self-care comes down to intentionality. Being intentional about taking care of yourself Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually. Sometimes it means compensating for things that you can't necessarily control, for me it's getting up stupid early to go to work, so I have to get more sleep on weekends.

She had already been banned from the site under two previous accounts. She was recognised and then banned*3.

Breeze a bunch of us were in chat a couple of years ago and an obvious under age brand new member came in. He was quickly banned only to keep reappearing every 20 minutes or so and to be booted and banned again. He did it several times ! Lol

Wow! I guess he really wanted to join! ??‍♀️
