Little space question

[Acceptance]

Hello!

I’m not really sure if this is normal, but I’ve recently been through a lot regarding my Daddy and learning how to accept my little space. I was enjoying it and beginning to embrace it when one of my biggest fears of being left alone and forgotten were kind of affirmed. My Daddy and I had a complicated relationship from the start and he recently chose to leave this life behind. I have been sad in general, but even in little space I seem to not be able to stop crying. I’ll try to distract myself, but then I just slip out of little space. I miss being able to fully let go and enjoy it, but I don’t know how to move past the crying and scared feeling I get when I’m little now. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this or maybe has some advice on how I could move forward.

Little space is generally a vulnerable place for me. Things that happen there are intensified. Happy feelings get stronger but if I get sad they’re stronger, too. Your little side is a part of you and will take time to heal much like you will. Right now the most important thing is self care. Go for walks, take bubble baths, watch fun movies, craft- do whatever your hobbies are that you enjoy doing. Try to make them things you can do independently. Both your little and non-little side will heal in time, but it will take time. It may take longer for your little side because it feels hurt on a deeper level, or it may heal faster, but the only way to heal is time unfortunately. I am so sorry you’re going through this and if you ever want a friend I’m always here!

Like the other user said, little space is so vulnerable. Seems like you're really hurt and feeling betrayed? 

When my last daddy left me, what helped me was self care. Plushies, cute clothes, watching cartoons, etc. Good things basically about little space, so I didn't associate it with him.

Also maybe try to meet other littles? It might help.

Sending you tons of love either way, hope you get better soon.

Maybe spending some little space time with other littles for awhile instead of by yourself?
