Gleegal67 -> Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 12:44:55 PM)

So...I have been 'out of sorts' as of late...

Ending of a relationship I was hopeful for, Parents staying the winter with me (6 months), my son is graduating high school this year (I'm a little anxious yet happy), holiday time trying and not accomplishing to be in a dozen different places at once, I want sex...a LOT of sex...almost don't care with whom or where at this point or how many, monitoring all the trade news for my clients trying to anticipate if any of my clients are going to be in trouble and not pay their bills to me, should I dye my hair red or keep it brunette, should I just give in and find the knee surgeon and start the process of knee replacement surgery, should I start back up with my group of men I had put on the back burner to be in a monogamous relationship or should I just go with a new batch of men...is it really that hard to find a guy that understands that I have no reason to 'be' with him for any length of time...just when we both need a great shag and for him to beat me or put my arse on fire...

You might just understand why I've been 'out of sorts' as of late...I'm normally a pretty well balanced and happy kinda gal...maybe Mars is in retrograde again and it's really not my fault...hahaha...nah...I couldn't be that lucky...it's all my own freakin' fault!

Last week I had a little too much holiday cheer (lack of sleep, food & brains!) and I did some very embarrassing things...in a public venue...to sweet lovely local bdsmer's...which I am very shameful of...even though many had forgiven me...I still felt awful.

My lovely friends decided to put me back on the right path and get me balanced again...they all gathered as they tied me up at our local dungeon last Sat night...rope...suspension cuffs...and unfortunately...no blindfold.

There I was...trussed up like a Christmas Goose...with a remote egg inserted...watching all these people I adore start going thru the list of transgressions I have done recently...that was a very loooooooonnnnngggg list!

The feelings I was experiencing; remorse, shame, shock and defiance...ohhh...that one they all saw most of all!

That is when their fun began...so many toy bags open...so many implements of instruction...they were showing me and threatening to use every single item in all the toy bags!  How I was begging for the blindfold...I didn't want to see...I didn't want to know!

There was laughter...a lot of laughter...because even being trussed up like a Christmas Goose...I can wiggle and move...yes, I laid my egg like a good Christmas Goose does...my darling girlfriend says Houdini had nothing on me...which I don't understand because I never 'try' to get undone from my bonds...it just happens! 

There was a lot of pain, a whole lot of begging and negotiating and pleading forgiveness.  These six beautiful people I call the best of friends, took me on a journey that I had no clue I had needed.  Just when they thought I had been 'balanced' my defiant attitude had to show it's darn face...that's when they got really serious...oh my...what a journey that was...

In the end...my friends said they hadn't laughed and had an experience as well as we did in ages!  I was a gooey mass of smiles and a deep sense of peace within.

I really have the best of friends...and I'm forever grateful and blessed!

I'm curious...do any of you have a friend(s) that can put you back into balance when you need it the most?  Even if you don't even realize how 'out of balance' you are?

Or, do you have a maintenance schedule to keep you and your partner(s) in balance?

I've been told that I'm going to have at least a once a month 'rotate & balance' checkup with one or more of my friends...so I don't get to this extreme level again.  It will help them too...since they are all Dominants...so it's a win-win schedule for us all!

:::sighing deeply with joy as I rub my arse and other bits with a big smile:::

What a happy story!

No, nothing of the sort for me. I tend to go inwards when I need balance. More focus on eating properly, sleeping well, getting plenty of exercise and spend more time outdoors with my fur babies.

I am afraid that ME, out of sorts, is not a very pleasant thing for anyone to be around. Not something I want to subject others to.




Gleegal67 -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 1:03:34 PM)

LT...normally hanging with my son, driving to new places to explore, reading, meditating, going to the beach...all are very balancing to me...I was past all those points though...like how you described you wouldn't want to subject anyone to...I was already there! :(

Maybe I need to get new fur babies too...mine of 12 years had just finally went to the 'big saucer of milk in the sky' this year.  I know he's galavanting up there without me!




kallisto -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 4:05:19 PM)

What a great story.  [:)]   I do understand the "out of sorts feeling".   Been there myself.   I was able to take a little bit of time to myself this past weekend and it helped some.    Life in general can sometimes get in the way of that.    




Feliciasub -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 4:15:38 PM)

Nice Story, i really need friends like these [:)]




Huntertn -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 4:18:57 PM)

lol..sounds like no end of volunteers




littlewonder -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 8:02:17 PM)

Can't say I have friends like that..just not really my type of thing at all.

I keep myself in check by making some time for myself, finding solitude, praying, meditating, spending time with my friends by just talking, seeing a movie or whatever, realizing I have to balance my life because I have more than myself who depends on me so I better not screw it up and then there's Master who seems to calm me and balance me just by his sheer presence whether it be in person or just chatting online or phone. I feel at peace again.





utopicus -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 8:16:44 PM)

Wow! Could I borrow your friends for a while, please? Oops, have forgotten for a sec there are probably 12,000km plus between us. What a shame!
Er, a friend in need is a friend indeed, I guess. Just use their help when it's required and thank them.
How suitable this help is as opposed to psychotherapists who stare at you like you were a ghost, coupled by some colourful capsules that help you smile when you feel like jumping out of window!

About 10 years ago, I had a fur baby, he was delightful and so very unusual, one eye was larger than the other and very a part of me. Then one day he was no longer there. I am probably still a little out of sorts since mistress and master have forbidden any more fur babies in the house. Not even sure I could even bring my self to even ask for such responsibility because its still a painful memory.
I think that we all have something or someone that we rely upon to keep us in balance. When we no longer have it, we get knocked off kilter. Try as we might, for some of us, it takes friends and/or family to put us back into balance again.
Finding center is what I call it and from there we are able to focus ourselves again to what is important.




servantheart -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/22/2008 10:42:32 PM)

Hi Gleegal,
 
Sounds like you have wonderful friends who understand you very well.  I'm glad they knew what you needed and were able to help you in this way :)
 
I had a similar experience three weeks ago.  I've been under an extreme amount of stress due to some very serious family issues involving my recently broken-up household of the past 20 years.  I generally talk to those who are close to me when things get overwhelming, but maybe I was unconsciously internalizing more than I realized.  On this particular day, I felt as though I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders.  I came home from an earlier appointment already on the verge of falling completely apart and began my nightly chores.  Sir had arrived home earlier and was watching me set up the coffee maker for the next morning.  I couldn't take the strain anymore and was struggling to choke back the tears lest my youngest UM see me in the state I was in (which is near impossible with the hyper-perceptive little darlings [>:]).  Sir came over to me, took my hand, led me to the bedroom and shut the door.  I sat down on the bed and lost what little control I had left and soon my body shook with my sobs.  I calmed down finally and began to spill my guts, telling Sir about the mountain of worries I had as He held me close and patiently listened.  When I finished, He again took my hand, telling me to stand up.  I was led to the end of the bed, instructed to take down my pants and panties as Sir picked up the paddle from the book cabinet.  I was bent over the bed and He began to smack my ass with that damn thing at a steady pace while I did my best to hold still.  The swats ceased after a bit and He asked me if I wanted Him to stop the paddling.  I said no and He resumed the smacking.  After a while I asked Him what the spanking was for.  He said, "You already know."  The pattern of spanking, stopping, asking me if I was ready to stop continued until the intensity built to a point where I couldn't take any more and I asked Him to please stop.  He stood me up and hugged me for what seemed like a long time, before asking me if I felt better.  I marveled at just how much better I did feel and told Him that I did.  He ran His hands over my throbbing backside for a bit before demonstrating an alternate means of emotional catharsis [:)] 
 
I am grateful to Sir for what He did for me that night.  I'd never experienced anything like it before.  It was the most loving thing He could've done for me at that moment.  I am thankful to be His.
 
As for a maintenance....
Before I moved in with Sir, I received weekly maintenance spankings over His lap with His bare hand.  After my youngest UM and I moved in with Sir nearly four months ago, life has been hectic to say the least and there have been many adjustments on everyone's part to make.  Since the little UM wasn't raised in a household where adult corporeal activities took place, we were unsure how she would react to the sounds of my whimpering, yelping, and begging,  along with the accompanying smacks. Days, weeks and finally months passed with no maintenance spanking given.  The lack of this weekly reminder has, unfortunately, been evident in my attitude and actions.  I've felt very much out of sorts and off-kilter.  This past weekend He decided to resume our weekly maintenance ritual, possibly semi-weekly for a time. I received my first maintenance spanking since we began living together tonight after He came home.  Now, several hours later, my bottom is still tender and I'm so thankful He does this for me. 

~Grrr...damn typing issues  [>:][>:][>:][>:] 




SassySarijane -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/23/2008 5:26:34 AM)

To the OP:

I'm so glad you have such wonderful friends to do that for you [:)]. I was in a similar situation very recently that had been building and being added to for months. In November, two very good top friends worked me over so well that I'm still in balance, and still handling everything very well now including what's happened since that session.

No.   I don't get to decide when we have play, so as a result my emotions and mental state are not tied to play.  We have gone for months and months without any significant play other than a few tight grips, pinches and pressure points here and there. 

Play is something that I enjoy and I find very fulfilling, but if we were to never play again it would not cause a great strain on my mental and emotional balance.

Oh I SOOOO relate to this.  Especially this morning, was kinda nice to read.




persephonee -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/23/2008 12:26:04 PM)

Good for you babygirl.

When M left to move to DC for work, i was really more affected than i wanted to be. i came to the dungeon that next weekend and was just lost...i tried to smile and someone would come up and ask me what was wrong...i would paste a bigger smile on and move on...then someone else would come up and ask....where is M?...gawd. It was not my best nite....

Finally i approached our fearless leader of sorts, a good friend's Master, and let him know what was going on.

He took me out back behind the woodshed and readjusted me so much that i was all better for 2 weeks.

i dont think this will be a problem once im in a live in situation...but for now, while im on my own, its nice to know ive got friends who can and will take me down a peg or two.




lally3 -> RE: Being out of balance... (12/24/2008 8:47:52 AM)

i can sooo relate with you on the out of balance thingy - is it something to do with christmas, is it something we subbies do alot of the time, i dunno.  just right now i need to be trussed up, spanked, beaten to within an inch of my life, fucked till my eyeballs rattle and totally abused until i cant take it anymore - and take it anyway!!

i need your friends, so i do!

oh and happy christmas everyone [:D]

I have 2. Fox is with me all the time and tends to keep me from getting that far. Angel is the other, and when I am far enough out he and I can go off and find me. It isnt usually D/s related, aside form conversation. Angel can be my ground, he and I think alot alike and he reminds me what I have and what I am.

Thankfully, I havent needed to be "balanced" in a long while, but then again I have both of them around me alot and they are stopping the problem before it gets too far more often than not.
