Depression and littlespace

[Guest little__princess]

I've noticed when I'm in a spout of depression I can't go into little space or I just crash. Before this weekend I couldn't go into littlespace For almost a month dose anyone has this problem ?

I think it's pretty common. I know my last Little was like that if she was depressed or overly stressed.  It's kind of like your outlet for creativity too when you're in Little space, when you're stressed or depressed it turns those areas off, for some reason.

Depression can affect a lot, even things you usually enjoy. It can make things rather difficult sometimes. It's sometimes hard for me to go into little space when I get depressed. Other times, I get so depressed I can't help but go into it. I can't really describe it, but I know how it feels to not be able to go into little space as easily as you'd like or as much as you need to. So far I haven't been out of little space more than a few weeks, though.

I experience that too from time to time. Recently, I noticed I haven't gone into my little/middle space a lot and I was kind of just focusing on the adult stuff and I wasn't also feeling all great mentally. It took some time/days to focus on being little again and sometimes it's just harder to feel little when you have to take care of your self. Then there are times when I'm depressed or feeling lonely or extremely low, I just go there to comfort myself until I fall asleep.

I'm currently in the middle of a depressive episode, and I can definitely feel myself not wanting to be as little as I do when I'm having an up day. Right now my life is just coursework and sleeping. Sometimes I try to force it by doing little activities with my DD, but it hardly ever works. I really miss little space, but I'm hoping that summer vacation and time with my DD in person will help.

Whenever I'm having anxiety i tend to go into little space...its like my coping mechanism...i suck on my choochii and cuddle my stuffies its great!

I'm unusual I guess. The more depressed I feel the more I want to slip into little space.
