strappedown: I have discovered that when I get particularly depressed, nothing quite works to shake off my blues like a bit of forced long term sensory isolation in inescapable restraints. It’s like therapy for me, to be strapped safe and secure into a comfortable position with no distractions except my own thoughts. When forced to contemplate, I inevitably face whatever fears or demons that are causing my foul mood and conquer them in a way that is difficult to describe. At the end, as a reward, I’m shaken out of my deep contemplations with a slow edging to an eventual climax, the method and timing of which I have absolutely no control over. And that’s really the point, perhaps. Most things that get me down are completely outside of my control. I can give them up and be happy for the things I can control…one of which is the freedom to occasionally check myself into bondage bliss. -- source link
