Full Question: How to get back on track after a sub drop? 

Answer: 

Drop is rough on a lot of people. Let me help you with tips and strategies to recover from the experience of sub drop, a feeling of emotional and physical exhaustion that can occur after intense submission. Sub drop is a normal and natural response to the experience of submission, and there are several ways to mitigate its effects and promote recovery. These include:

  • Engaging in self-care activities, such as taking a warm bath, practicing meditation or mindfulness, and getting enough rest.
  • Seeking support from a trusted partner, friend, or community of like-minded individuals who can offer understanding and validation.
  • Practicing self-reflection and self-compassion, including acknowledging and accepting one’s own limitations and vulnerabilities.
  • Reconnecting with personal hobbies or interests outside of BDSM, such as reading, listening to music, or engaging in creative activities.
  • Incorporating positive affirmations and mantras, such as “I am worthy of love and respect,” into daily life.

There is no one “right” way to recover from sub drop, and each individual may need to experiment with different strategies to find what works best for them. However, by taking proactive steps to promote recovery and self-care, you can better manage the emotional and physical demands of submission and enjoy a more fulfilling BDSM experience.
