Greetings..~smiles~

I was wondering from those in a D/s..M/s established relationship, if at some point either Dominant or sub/slave encountered a sudden mental illness of sorts..and how was it dealt with and overcome or controlled?

I'm speaking more like sudden phobia's or anxiety/panic attacks to something.

I have never lived in a large populated area before, and avoided driving in heavy traffic area's any chance I had. But when moved to Texas with Master..I went from 5,000 pop to 30,000 pop with even larger city area's just running one into another. It has taken me 6 months with Masters help of driving me around area's, explaining directions, confidence speeches, and just comfort to finally drive into the Austin area on my own.

Without his constant slow steady pushing and his status to me as Master..there is no way i'd of done this. Nauseated, heart palpitations, heavy breathing, sweating hit me every time but each push got alittle longer in distance, or tasks to go do to get to this point.

Just curious if others had something like this pop up, and do you feel your partners status in your life of Owner or owned made it more possible to have overcome or dealt with.

I'm coming from a angle that most time we as sub/slaves think our Owner is perfect and infallible or unable to falter, and the trust in them runs deeper..and from the Owner if hits them..do they feel diminished somehow to their sub/slave, not as strong, try to hide it, or open up and elicit the support of their sub/slave?

Not sure what area this should of been in, so apologies if it wasn't here and needs to be moved.

thankyou in advance

Happy slave of Master Delvin

It sounds like he really worked at getting you through this trouble

Since Master and i have been together there has been two areas of anxiety i have been conscious of that he has worked with me with.

1. I met Master very soon after my husband died. The grief left me with sudden spouts of separation anxiety. I knew it was directly related to the death of my husband as i had never before experienced that in my life. i think that we met on the internet really helped with that. he would pretty much always let me know when he would be online and when he had to leave. When we met face to face and started living together, i still experienced it, im embarressed to say now..but it even came down to, say he went to the store to get some ciggies...i would be thinking things like,, ogod what if he has a car crash..or what if this..or what if that..and i would get really panicky. One day he he was away for an entire day to do a course, i kept myself busy all day, but as soon as the time came when he shoulda been home and wasnt, panic set in, it was so encompassing i felt like it was going to collapse, had the shakes, was very very bad...it ended up he had left his lights on in the car and had to get a jump start..when he got home i was a mess...
Since that time, i have gotten better, Master has really been supportive in my healing just through understanding what i was going thru and not thinking i was nuts...and knowing and having faith i would overcome it..which i pretty much have (thankgod). lol

2. i have a fear of fast cars and overtaking cars. This has come about from being in car accidents. I can be alright for awhile and then suddenly i start to panic. Generally Master tells me to close my eyes...i havent succeeded in overcoming this one....a lot of the time Master asks me "Dont you trust my driving?" which makes me feel bad..cuz it really isnt about Him at all..its a phobia i have no control over...he really is a good driver and i know this.

greetings, happy s/m couple;
i made a commitment ,to be ,of the best service ;door ,to door ,to my dom(and ,my mother who was my first dom ,in my mind;the service was definately, for her, too...) ,so i had ,to drive a limo, and ,boy am i stupid-
i lived ,in my city -,lynn,ma.of 4000;all my life ,and, i still get lost !,
cause, i depend, on the dom sitiing there
telling me where, to go;every turn,
but ,when i sat ,and ,drove the limo ,as a private chaufeur,and,got spoiled ,forever ,by the way.... i wanted ,to be ,of the best service ,for her
her husband said: ok
this is the way you go(if youre a "keeper" what ever ,that means))
, and ,pick up the parties ,
and ,take their bags ,and ,the hat you wear .
i was silent;scared ,of west palm beach- four seasons ,and ,vagas casinos, but , i kept thinking ,of her(even found a long blonde strand ,of her hair, in the car ,and, focused on it ,and,hid it ,in the steering wheel case,if i lost confidence)... ,and ,i had, to memorize; immediately; one run -my way ,from massachusetts to conneticut, then nyny ,then r.i. ,and the same set pickup-points ,and as a passenger learning my route, i wrote down everything
like major landmarks ,
another dom. friend told me, to mark ,only big landmarks
not where i am,
but ,just the land marks(cause i was slave-transported ,after,that ,and ,it helped,or i would'nt even know i was transported)
,so i can go, to london (bigben),or maine(llbeans) ,glouster(the sailor statue),and, just do the" landmarks, "and ,there's no panic.
i got excited, at the first site, of the large denver airport,and ,said so ....this is where she is to be picked up...and this is where she frequents and knows...I'M HERE!!!!!!!!!!
...,only "mental-illness" i encountered ,IF ANY ,and, i certainly should have encountered a lot more considering our real ruff -circumstances ....was :
my top lost her mind screaming ,at me ,when there was no need, but, i found, out ;she was "an aritist",
and, always did, that ,on ANY set everyone filming was used ,to it........,and ,only time i did ,
("LOOSE MY MIND"),
and ,i told her ahead ,of time was:
ya i can be your floor anywhere ,but.... i'm DEATHLY afraid, of bugs....i have a collossal-irrational -huge-phobic-fear ,of bugs....romantic ,as it was, if there was a chance, of a bug-
even running solo somewhere ;
i was freaked,mindless- i studied bugs behaviors ,since i was in grammar school and read out loud about ants to my mother while she did the dishes,...and,it didnt matter how well i knew bugs inside out.... ,i ,just would get naked ,and ,immediately tried, to get ,as high ,as i could ;physically
closest ,to the ceiling,as i could get ....
i'd evacute !; abandon ship!!!
they could have the whole room ,
and ,eventually the whole house, if i did'nt track ,that one insect down ,and, kill it,
of i couldnt sleep,either until it was dead and had to keep all the house lights on for a day and a half...
no-sex ,either ,but ,her talk killed, that one fast....i don't know ,maybe, it's a necessary occassional catharsis due ,to stress...,but ,that's all ,for either, or :litteral-brakedowns....except the time i abandoned my bmw, with the tarantula in it ...
some sadist thot it was pretty funny;i'm sure....ya right who's NUTS!

Master has not said this to me as of yet and I'd probably feel bad the same way if he did.
Luckily though Master went through depression/anxiety in his own past so his understanding of these things coming upon me is very helpful.

I get very ancy when he is driving and it's not due to his driving but due to all the other maniacs crowding in around us taking those slim chances just to get somewhere a minute faster or cut across lanes etc. I have many passenger side brakes installed, and I think my finger prints are now a permanent setting in his dashboard..lol
He never looses his cool with it though and just slowly reaches over and puts my arm and legs down, and tells me it's okay, and that he see's them. If it's really crowded out though, sometimes he just says: you might want to close your eyes for a bit girl..lol

I was thinking about my reply...

Both those issues come down to anxiety experienced through lack of total control over a situation...interesting huh.
