I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and from antisocial personality disorder. I'm recovering and I'm a slave. I explained it to my Master very honestly. When we first began our relationship, I was up front and honest with Him as to what my mental illness was and why I have them. I cope with being a submissive the same way I guess everyone does, I love it. I live to serve my Master and to please Him. He, in turn, understands my conditions and is very open and quick to communicate everything with me so that I can understand what I am doing right and what I am doing that does not please Him. I'm happy to talk to you about any questions you have in terms of being a submissive with mental illness. I have been one for many many years. Hope that helps!
