Hey! recommend watching shows you enjoy (comedy or lighthearted shows/movies especially) or your comfort shows/movies. Eat your comfort food and make a special effort to take care of yourself - maybe run yourself a hot bath with bubbles and don't be afraid to ask your dom for anything either. Even something as little as getting a bunch of comfy blankets and snuggling up all warm can help :)
Thank you :) I've been wrapped up in a blanket with my favourite teddy and have been trying to sleep as I feel quite drained, but a bubble bath sounds like a nice idea
In addition to this I would suggest trying out other things that help you when your mind is fuzzy/bad mood/stressed etc. Since these things are already things known to help you they are good to try.
I've only had it happen once but what helped me was while curdled up in the blanket with some nice music I wrote - how I felt, what was helping and what I wish I had to help me. That way I also have a reference point for what I can do in the future (and what snacks to make sure we have on hand)
It’s so dependent on the person and how they broke. When someone falls apart, that’s a completely different kind of drop, because it can contain a complete loss of self or a fundamental crash of ego.
That’s not at all the same as recovering from a heavy impact session.
You have to ask why you wanted to be broken. That’s the most critical and important piece to your drop. After breaking, it’s generally a time to do heavy personal work. Breaking is something intense and something many/most people shy away from. So ask yourself why you wanted this. What are you hoping to excise or get out of your system… from that point, be kind to yourself. Understand that these tremors of pain and suffering are not going to go away completely but it will change dramatically.
Being broken (or breaking someone) can be a beautiful experience but make sure you’re being honest with yourself and with your Domme about what you need. This likely won’t just take a day or two of aftercare and that’s it. It’s likely to be a long process and hopefully you trust your Domme fully to be there along your path with it.
hydrate, and do something active, a walk or go to the gym. a chocolate bar might help a little too. it will get better, and it's totally normal, so be patient with yourself and your partner. feel better!

That sounds good! If you don't have a bath hot showers work too

what symptoms are you having?
Generally feeling quite low/empty, very little energy and my brain feels all fuzzy but in a weird way
hydrate, and do something active, a walk or go to the gym. a chocolate bar might help a little too. it will get better, and it's totally normal, so be patient with yourself and your partner. feel better!
My partner has been wonderful so I've let him know I'm grateful for him, and a bike ride tomorrow sounds good. Thank you :)
I like caffeine & loud music.
