formspring.me #5

How do you push through the irritability and lack of motivation when you're not in the right headspace for play?Or the feelings you have when that happens, if it's not the same for everybody.
This is slightly similar to an earlier formspring question on play while depressed, but for me the two are very different so i've decided to answer this question too.

Sometimes, just like everyone else, i feel irritable, down, moody, fed up, tired, etc. and i just don't want to have a long intense play session with Sir. Sometimes Sir listens to my feelings and decides it would be best not to go ahead with the session, but most times He decides to go ahead and do it anyway. Which i find really annoying at the time, but there's not much i can do about it as i'm the slave and He's the Master, right? i don't know whether Sir ever changes His play plans due to my moods, but i do know that 9 times out of 10 i come out of the play session feeling a lot better than i went into it feeling, but maybe that's just a general result of play for me, no matter what kind. Actually submitting to the play with good grace is a different matter though, because all the while my head is going "can't He see that i'm not in the mood for this? why the heck do i have to be tied like that? what's He doing now? oh for goodness sake can't He get on with it?", but so long as i don't actually say those things out loud and so long as i try to keep a reasonably ok face on me Sir will just push ahead with what He's doing.

So basically i don't really get rid of the irritation and lack of motivation in order to play with Sir, but i find after the session i'm in a much better frame of mind. Not sure if that helps or not, feel free to ask another question if you need to!
