TALES FROM THE EDGE - Chapter One - Real IMVU Stories As Told by Real people!

I suffered from an addiction with IMVU. I started using back when I was on maternity leave with my one child. I have already been suffering with mental illness such as depression, adhd, and anxiety which has caused me problems with socializing with real people in the first place. 

As soon as I went into IMVU I was hooked. The atmosphere of real people from all corners of the world that don't judge, and if they do you shut them off. IMVU is like an open arm of comfort for people like me that have difficulties making and keeping friends in real life. 

My boyfriend met me at the time in my life that I was intending to use to be single and go to school and start a career but instead I let myself get pregnant with him and put everything else on hold which didn't help with my illnesses since I was frustrated about the timing of becomming a parent. 

Imvu was my total escape. Not only did I find friendships there, but a sexual release with people that had the same types of desires. My boyfriend just didn't fill that gap the way my online friends did. Soon I met someone who got me interested in skyping with him and wound up with a dirty skype conversation that my boyfriend ended up reading which caused a lot of fighting and ended with me shutting off imvu forever. 

Until a month or so ago when I went back in deciding that I could do it innocently this time and just chat about non-sexual things. I did end up meeting sexual people again who do sex rp in a public way which I did partake in for the most part. Also this time around was more exposed to the DJing thing which is a lot of fun and very addicting as well. The thing was that I met a couple of people who I am extremely compatible with. People that I could easily fall in love with if I was available for that type of intimacy. 

The wall that was in place due to my relationship frustrated me with the friendships, because I didn't advance, and neither did they, though there was a loving and also sexual connection between the friends that I made. I recently had to shut off imvu again because my bf can't stop fighting about it. 

So I've decided to invest in my relationship full time because my boyfriend is not happy with the amount of time I spend on the computer chatting with my other friends instead of hanging out with him. I resent him for getting in the way of my freedom to make friends outside of our relationship. I don't know if it's reasonable for me to resent him for this. 

I don't even know how to end this story. Just wanted to share my experience of IMVU and why I have found myself uninstalling it and feeling very much like wanting to reinstall it and log in, and it's a huge challenge to sit here and not log on. :( Right now I am giving my RL relationship a shot without IMVU in the background to see if we are really compatible. 

I believe I've used IMVU as an escape, not that the escape has made me love him less. But maybe I am wrong and that is how severe the addiction is.
