Ever had a drop? Subdrop domdrop topdrop etc, whathaveyou? It’s different for everybody. For me the biggest thing I notice is manic moods. I’ll be relaxed and happy for a bit, and then suddenly the world is terribly scary.
Today I popped a few special brownies to up my level of mellow and that helped a lot, but the biggest thing… the biggest thing, was having my new gal to call and share comfort with. She was there last night when i was electrified, and bondaged up and provided comfort and helped aftercare. It was the biggest thing for me to recover and I adore her for that. My bit of chaos in flesh she is a great woman. And two or three times today she has told me “the world is safe, you’re safe” and possibly “the only thing to fear is zombies.”
Do you get afraid? Do you get paranoid? Do you feel the world around you crushing in? What do you do to deal with it?
I suppose the important thing to look at it is, dealing with it being a priority. When we drop its our body and mind recovering, rebalancing, the whole sha’bang as it were. But that leaves some psych effects that one should monitor and be careful. I made it a habit a long time ago to start telling people I get playing with in advance about the drop risks and asking to make sure I will have someone I can talk to. If I don’t then I try not to engage in any heavy sorts of play unless I know I have a relatively stress free week to walk through my own drop on.
Planning ahead is a big part of safety.
For me the hardest part is always identifying the fact that I'm not suddenly going over the edge into mania lol, that it is in deed sub drop. The best way for me personally to deal with it is to tell my Dom and He adjusts how He is with me and what we do. That's all I got on this one!
