(general question) how would you take care of a Broken (Depressed) Little?

[DaddyKing19]

As in how would you take care of them i mean would you do anything differently with a broken little or not, if so then what.

From my experience, one needs to just slow down with everything, emotional or sexual

Positive reinforcement

Kindness

Unconditional love

Patience

Unlimited devotion

There are some general guidelines for depression, where moderate exercise has proven to have the same positive effects as a moderate dose of antidepressants. So any daddy should aim to try and get their little to work out in some way, shape or form, even though it is difficult to get done when you're feeling depressed and just want to lay in bed all day =/ Sunlight is also very important, as well as healthy food/vitamins. Ruminating thoughts is one of the most common causes of depression. Overthinking and the inability to let things go. So different impressions and distractions are good, as well as social activities if they can be handled ^.^

That's the official psychology answer though. As a little, I'd say that what helps me is getting me to think of something different, doing a lot of things together, being firm when I get too emo and not letting me have my way with everything (I am a brat though...), and showing me that I am loved and everything is fine and telling me multiple times I'm cute and adorable ^.^ Hope any of this helps <3

Personally, I'm against calling someone with depression broken. They have a mental illness. Kinda a difference. Sorry, just a touchy thing with me.

 

Anyways.. My fiance is just really patient with me. He knows when I'm not feeling well and just need to relax. Usually draws a bath and tells me to go relax lol since my depression also effects my sleep and appetite, he makes sure I took my sleep meds and that I'm eating rather regularly, even if it's something small. Sometimes I'm not up to physical contact, so he backs off and just does little head scratches or grabs my leg occasionally, asking if I'm okay, feeling well, if I need anything.

 

Essentially, like the others said. Patience, slowing down, kindness, love. It means a lot that someone takes the time to care for us. I'm more accustomed to being ignored or found a nuisance, being needy, whining. Someone that's patient and such is just really nice to have around.

yes i completely agree i have a broken little and that's exactly how i was with her, we took everything slow. for the first year of our relationship it was kept to something innocent and small.

Yes all of that thank you as i said to  Mizgog me and my little started out small in our relationship but once she got comfortable with everything we were able to continue to let our relationship grow. everyday i told her she is beautiful, amazing, etc. and tho she didn't really believe it i never stopped. all those really are great things because its hard to find someone who is willing to help you through the tough times and is patient with you, even when its hard to be.

Oh my god i didnt think about that thats great advice, im gonna have to get my little angel exercising soon. which i think will work out great, ive been meaning to start exercising so gettting my angel up of her butt will also motivate me to do the same lol.  A nice thing me and her can do together that will benefit us both.

yea i understand where you're coming from

 

and yes its nice to know someone cares enough to do all those things even when its hard. In my opinion, for someone to stick around through the worst of times with patience and unconditional love is the purest thing ever.

Depends on what broke the little.

[MisterMomo]

For the exercising part.. you could look on jnternet or youtube or app for kids.. mommies or daddies tricks to do xercises with kids.. that makes exercising a Little activity...

 

Hugs stuffies and make them dance can also mske someone smile... hard not to smile doing this..

[Guest x77]

For anyone depressed extra activities and hobbies are good - keep the mind busy. Download follow-along workout videos (They've got plenty for kids that are a bit easier) also try adult gummy chew vitamins. and have plenty of patience. If he/ she was abused, reassure them they're safe, my Daddy says "I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to you" and even though I know not everything is within his power that still makes me feel good.

If I'm really stressed out I bundle up (get really comfortable) put on something like a 90's cartoon/ Disney movie, play my DS and color and doing all of those things is distracting enough to keep me from delving deeper into a meltdown.

I hope you find out what comforts your Little and you both learn techniques that work for you guys

Thanks for the Idea i will definitely do that.

Yes i understand that there are different circumstances and traumas which is why its a generalized question because id like to hear from peoples experiances and how they took on the responsibility of caring for a depressed little.

Yea hobbies and activites are a must, cause i know with my own battles with depression that having nothing to do can cause your mind to wonder to dark places. and thanks i will check it out. And yea vitamins would be good especially some vitamin D chewies. And for abused littles constant reassurance is a must i agree, i try to everyday with my Angel. And thanks to you and everyone for your comments they have given me some good insight and advice on how to further help my little one heal,of course she may never fully be okay but any progress is a blessing.

If you are speaking depression in general....

 

Coming from a little that goes through periods of depression and anxiety.... The best thing you can do is be understanding and give your little support...make you little know that they are not alone in the dark...Having a light to reach out too is the best gift one can give in that situation.
