What's in a name?

How and why did you choose your pseudonym?

Is it a reflection of your personality or gender or perhaps there is a story behind your choice?

Well, I'm new, so this is all fresh and stuff, and I chose mine because of a state of mind I can get into.

When I get into a certain state of mind, it feels like something was crawling about in my head and kinda took over to feed my thoughts.

I started calling them spiders just last night.

As for the shadows part, eventually my normal thoughts start trying to pull back in, but for a while are just mere shadows of thought until they can pull past the spiders.

Hello Abby. Welcome to psychforums!

Thank you for being the first person to reply to my question.

Thats a cool pseudonym that you have come up with. It makes mine, which is basically a description of who and what I am, seem pretty tame in comparison.

Thanks for the welcome.

and I was happy to answer, so no need for thanks.

Thanks for compliment on my pseudonym. And I like yours, because it's honest. I like honesty. It makes a person feel better, but it's something hard to find.

My name comes from an anime I watch "InuYasha." Kagura is a character on the show that I can relate to sometimes, and I thought it was a pretty name.

mine refers to my manic state > bipolar.
