Depression. It eats away at people.

As a submissive, I’ve come to realize that my nature translates into every area of my life. If I am unhappy, it is for a reason. Namely, that I lack purpose.

Going through a hard time for me, means that I am uncertain of what I am doing. It’s often worst when I am afraid for the future or unaware of what I am supposed to do.

Sometimes distraction techniques work. Submissives often need to be taken out of their self-pity. You might love her, but you might also be doing a disservice to her by trying so hard.

I feel most content when working for an achieving a goal. Maybe set her some goals. Give her something to live for. Being strict can be just as compassionate as being compassionate.

That’s just my opinion.
