Little gone missing...

[Daddy's_Babygirl]

My little seems to have gone missing as of late. A few weeks ago we had some personal life changing decisions going on in our life that I needed to be "big" for, and so my little went into hiding. It was very scary for her. Now... she's not coming back out. The situation is resolved, but I'm not.

 

My husband has been trying to help to no avail. I just feel... so lost and broken. Nothing negative really came out of the situation, I just can't seem to find my little. I've always been child-like but this was one of the most stressful situations since I've become an adult I've had to deal with.

 

Any tips for getting myself back? It's really starting to make me sad. I'll start slipping for a minute or so and then it seems like it goes away quicker than it started.

you might try to relax; it could be that your stress levels were so high, adult mode took over more than usual and now that you're not finding your Little side anymore, you're stressing over that and it's making it worse- kind of like a creative block- the harder u try to break it down, the thicker the block becomes. I hope that makes sense.  Try to relax a bit; do a few of the things u always have enjoyed doing in Little Space and try to live in the moment; that might help get it all back for you.

I think sometimes, when the situation is super stressful it just takes a bit of time to recover from the shock. The safer you feel the easier it will be to go back to normal, maybe you are still worried it's not over or that something else will come up pushing you back into adulting.

 

Don't force it, it will just stress you out and take longer. Perhaps you should try something new, a hobby you have always been curious about for example. The novelty of it will be exciting and that should help, perhaps a day trip somewhere cute.

hello,

     My suggestion would be to put on some of the "little" music she enjoys, relax and close your eyes and watch for your little to begin dancing or singing or coloring or any number of little  things she does... just watch and relax... i think before you know it your little will draw you into her world and heal the scary things that took her there... the Big girl has solved the problems and now the little girl will need the reassurance of knowing she is still needed and wanted... when out shopping don't forget to look for the things the little likes .. make sure you allow her time to enjoy too.. relax and don't stress it ... she will return and the bond will be stronger for it.... i know you can do this..believe in yourself, believe in your little..

Hi and thanks for asking for our support.

 

I know this may sound clerical and I know that you still have a lot of little in you....

 

Why not make a list of all the little things you like to do.

 

Yes, get it out of your head, on paper or screen in front of you.

 

Then pick one thing each day to do for at most an hour.

 

I would call it "checking in with your little."

 

You may find that you look forward to that hour or doing that thing as you heal your "Adult Stress."

 

All in all, your little is not gone, just a bit out of reach at the moment.

 

Hugs

Thanks! Tonight Daddy and I played with our daughter.... and my little came out! Thank goodness because this morning I tried to color before work and ended up super frustrated instead! I'm feeling much better, it was only for a little while but then Daddy made me dinner and I took a hot shower and now just relaxing and feeling sooo much better.
