How did/do you cope with being submissive when you are depressed?- nixie
i have only had proper depression once in my life, when i was diagnosed with post-natal depression a few months after the birth of Poppy. But to be honest it didn't really affect my submission that much - i still had the desire to be Sir's slave and to submit to Him and to serve Him, and all of my rules and restrictions gave me a comfortingly familiar framework for my life at that time. Also i found it lifted my self-esteem and confidence to be serving Sir and pleasing Him and making His life easier as this was something i could still do well, so i think if i hadn't had my submission i would have found it more difficult to get through the pnd and may possibly have sunk deeper into it than i did.

Sorry, i don't think that's been very helpful to you but someone else has asked a similar question about how i cope when i don't feel in the right headspace to submit to Sir, so maybe when i answer that later this week it might help more. And other readers are welcome to chip in with their thoughts and experiences on this subject!
