Mental Illness and being a submissive
Hello all. I haven’t been able to find much information on mental illness and the D/s lifestyle. My Mister has been very influential in my healing as well as being by my side during some of the hardest parts of my life. I am a disabled combat veteran with severe Bipolar and extensive medical issues. I have multiple surgeries and procedures scheduled within the next few months. I was wondering if any other subbies have medical issues or have any advice for being able to be the best sub I can be, even when I don’t want to/can’t get outta bed.

Dear Pumpkin,
First…THANK YOU for your service !
thank you for the honest share on things you are dealing with ! Im sending you prayers, hugs !!YES, I myself and I have seen many others go through medical issues and surgeries. I understand that everyones are different…so , here are my own person shares…
Lean on your Sir ,,,LET him take care of you ! When you are dealing with medical issues try not to be too hard on yourself . You will heal ..move forward and get back to subby 100%
TIME…it can take a while to heal get RX adjusted be patient
Not feeling good sent me in to a battle of depression …didn’t want to get out of bed ! I personally stayed in close contact with my Dr on this
Sometime just doing a little something for your Sir while your healing ….heals you too !
Healing Vibes to you ,

Thank you Curvey <3 I really appreciate your support and help. Mister is more then happy to take care of me, which I am very happy for. My new medications seem to be helping me and it is noticed. He actually cleaned the house for me this weekend. Even though I’m fatigued, I insisted on helping and was told to go lay down lol.

I second Curvey on all fronts! First,for thanking you for your service. And on her advice. Personally I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder so I have days that seem impossible. Focusing on the foundation of your D/s will really help you both through good and bad days! Honesty, communication, trust and respect need to be at the center for you both so you can see how to help each other. Especially with new medication. I was just put on medication and have seen some improvement but am also dealing with major side effects (nausea, dizziness, low sex drive, trouble reaching orgasm) so talking to my Sir daily is very much needed so he knows how to help me and knows I am doing the best i can. He tells me to focus on getting better and that will make him happy…..but we all know as subbies, we want to do more! Lol. So I try to consciously make sure he has a bottle of water at all times, the house is picked up as best as I can and to ask if I can get him anything whenever I am able to. It’s the small things that make a big difference and I am sure you will both find your way in handling it all together. Just remember, D/s-M is so much more than kinky sex. At the heart of it, it is a deep connection based on love and growing towards each other.
Sending you prayers!!!!

Hello Pumpkin
I read your post with interest, you sound like you’re an amazing person who has done so much for others. I have just been diagnosed with a BPD and it is taking me some times to come to terms with it. I have however been able to identify certain areas of my life that have in the past been difficult and areas I have become obsessed with. I agree with what has been said above all I will add is this is a learning curve, some things will change and days will be hard where you may not be able to contemplate your D/s lifestyle – lean on your Sir, he will understand.

Thank you, ObedientlyHis. I started on new medication called Lomotrigine about a month and a half ago and I can easily say it has changed not only my life, but our dynamic as well. I feel like a completely different person. like, my life is finally my own.
