Little droughts

[Guest]

Okay so for the last week or so I've been really super stressed and sad and hurt, and my mind has I guess gone into protection mode, not letting me into the vulnerable mindset that is little space. Has anyone else gone through this for this amount of time? Nothing seems to work

I have definitely been there. I'm going through it right now. Between career and family stress, not having a daddy, and having an issue with a wannabe DD harasser trying to push me into littlespace for him, its been elusive for me except in tiny bubbles here and there late at night with trusted friends. I don't know that I have any good advice to get it back, but I suggest making some de-stressing time for yourself doing something little-ish. For me its playing colorful games on my phone and turning off my brain.

My entire life just kinda flipped upside down when I moved to a different country and because of all of the overwhelming emotions, I couldn't go into littlespace or even act like a little in general most of the time. Daddy and I curbed all dynamic elements in the beginning of this transition. Because of the lack of expectation (to be ABLE to be little), I have been able to act like my normal, little self more and more. It was incredibly difficult to work through, as I kept getting frustrated because I just wanted to be little. But I have systematically been working through all of those stressors in my life, and one by one they have calmed down. 

 

So maybe for right now, sort out all of the craziness that is inhibiting you from regressing and naturally fall into something comfortable. Maybe you are Big You right now, but you can totally still watch a Disney movie or eat a big sundae, or go to the zoo and so on. Doing little things doesn't have to lead to a regressed mindset to make you feel little. Sometimes just knowing there isn't a requirement to be little (most people associate regression as a need for littlespace, but of course everyone is different) can take the edge off enough to start establishing your norm again.

 

Baby steps are my best piece of advice. Don't ever try to force yourself to regress, because then you're gonna make yourself more and more frustrated. Go easy on yourself, love yourself and soon your little self will emerge again. I wish you the best of luck

*Throws both hands in the air* yes yes yes! I can almost never get into little space when I'm down or stressed and I'm currently living in a house where I am constantly stressed, so I feel your pain:( and back in September I was "dating" a "daddy" and not once during the entire relationship did i go into little space because I just never couldn't get into it AND he wasn't really a daddy like he said he was...I'm pretty sure he just thought he could get sex out of me and said he'd be my daddy. Little droughts suck, but I think it'll make the next time you do go into little space feel a million times better and more fulfilling:) I hope you feel better soon and that things work out.
