Rambling Rosie's Retreat

[Saltfountain]

Both are very welcome

It's not easy. Plus there's the very simple fact that I'm quite introverted so I pretty much drained my social battery by keeping everyone updated.
Maybe if I do another one I'll get a PA

Then if there's a next time, update people according to your comfort zone, not their convenience

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Not a surprise for me. Sub drops are common. But I'm glad to see that you are strong enough to post this.
I'm sending big hugs and what ever you need to keep your mood up after your experience.

Thank you, that's very kind.

To be honest it was me getting swept up in the excitement more than anything. The support I received made it so much more enjoyable.
I will obviously have to keep things like this in mind for the future though.
Thank you for looking out for me

 

[hopeful_wife]

Lots of love, dear Rosie.

If anyone wants to send me a hug or something nice I'd appreciate it.

Also if any of you have experienced something similar please feel welcome to share.

You may have the biggest of hugs (and whatever other pampering your heart desires). You were such a good girl through the whole thing and worked so hard to please so many of your friends. We probably should have thought to shower you with praise and petting instead of counting on your Daddy's reward for you to be sufficient.

Maybe if I do another one I'll get a PA

I volunteer as tribute.

Well at the time I didn't feel like I needed anything. I was on top of the world.
These are all lessons though I guess

A wise one once said, "the bigger the party, the bigger the hangover."

This week you threw one hell of a party, and I happily gatecrashed, because it was exciting, humourous, and horny.
It was a pleasure experiencing your journey vicariously through you.

In addition you have been one of the most welcoming people on the board since I joined, and it's great getting to know you.

Long may our online relationship last

Well thank you for saying so

I'll drink to that

As a neuro diverse bi-polar fuck-up, I can tell you that the highs are Everest and the lows are hell, but we're fucking resilient and we will enjoy the great times again and sooner than we expect.

That's a brilliant outlook to have!

Though I'm sure you're not a fuck up. Well no more or less than anyone else anyway.

 

[Wriggle]

You garnered so much attention this week due to your attitude to life; you are a fascinating character that is positive and kind. You will always have a set of intrigued fans who will follow you and your adventures whenever you want to go one one.

 

[HoneyMeadows]

for you, dearest Rosie

I am a sub without a Dom, and I'm happy with that arrangement, but I do experience subdrop a lot day to day. If someone isn't around that I have become used to, even as mild as just being at work without someone usual, I can be quite low.

It's important to talk during this time, instead of shutting yourself away, so I am so glad and proud that you posted this here

You had so much fun this week so remember the good parts and cry it out if necessary. My PMs are open to you if you need a fellow introvert to speak to

 

[onanismaddict]

So after my dizzying highs - pun intended - from my adventures I thought I'd take a day or two to come back down to earth.

Then I went a bit lower than that.

My emotional state has been all over the place yesterday and today. It's no surprise really, I kept myself going for two days. I shared my adventures with you all. I had endorphin rushes and attention and all of that excellent stuff that we're probably all here for at the end of the day.

And then it was back to normal. And that was hard.

I wasn't going to post but I felt it dishonest of me to just share the good stuff. I have no regrets but this comedown, or more likely subdrop, is the price I've paid for my experience.

I'll be ok. I am ok really. Just tired, headachey and lonely. It'll pass though.

If anyone wants to send me a hug or something nice I'd appreciate it.

Also if any of you have experienced something similar please feel welcome to share.

Thank you so much for posting 'everything', Rosie... not only the highs! I truly appreciate you sharing all sides of the experience. And I hope you're feeling much better very soon! I'm quite confident that you will be.

I'm not someone who has any presence on a conventional form of social media... so all of this talk about illusions of perfection or "keeping up with the jones" envy or FOMO depression, are all just things that I've heard about on the news. But I've often found that reading about people's exhilarating erotic highs doesn't fully reflect the up-and-down rollercoaster of my own sexual experiences... so the discussion you've sparked feels wonderful: "I wasn't going to post but I felt it dishonest of me to just share the good stuff." Thank you for everything, Rosie! The honesty, thoughtfulness, bravery, openness, and vulnerability you've displayed are a beautiful complement to the thrilling erotic journey you took us on earlier. The 'full' picture is always more exciting...

There's also a fascinating treasure trove of possibilities to unpack here: "I had endorphin rushes and attention and all of that excellent stuff that we're probably all here for at the end of the day." I'd luv to delve deeper into the potential motivations, and fulfillments, which have brought us all here at some point. (But I'm mentally drained after a particularly grueling work week, so I suppose that's a fun thought exercise for another day at some future time.) I appreciate all of the unexpected directions in which you've taken your thread. Erotic, exciting, emotional, thought-provoking, funny... and always tasteful and respectful... You've crafted a fun little world here for everyone! Great stuff.

Oh, and I probably should have opened with this, but... Sending you warm thoughts, admiration, and a big, big hug!

This... Wow, yes. This makes so much sense to me...

I'm extremely introverted myself, and I can only imagine how draining that must feel. So I'm doubly impressed by your openness and generosity, and I'm extremely grateful for your willingness to share yourself with all of us here! The fact that you shared such excitingly intimate details was already amazing, but this 'introvert' layer makes it even more impressive. Thank you, Rosie! I hope that your "battery" gets recharged in a timely and organic manner...

And I'm sending you one more really big hug! (Hopefully that will help... lol.)

You are wonderful. Thank you for sharing all that you did, and we’ll be happy to hear more whenever, and if, you’re ready

Thank you for sharing lovely. I know exactly how that feels
I really wasn't going to but I made this thread to talk about all aspects of my life and my mental health is a big part of that. I will absolutely get in touch I promise

Thank you
I'm still catching up with myself but I'm doing ok. Having amazing support like this from everyone means more than you could know

 

[RosewoodTulip]

How is everyone?

Genuine question. Are we all doing ok?
I ask as I've seen lots of chat around the different threads from people who seem to kind of be struggling here.

I myself have stepped away a little bit. I feel like Lit was almost becoming addictive. I was checking my notifications constantly, not wanting to miss out on anything.
It wasn't healthy really and I had to think about why I'm here.

My main reason for joining was because I wanted to learn more about myself and the journey that has taken me on has been incredible. Finding community here has been amazing too. So many wonderful, interesting, kind and funny people that I'm thoroughly enjoying getting to know.

I'm sure I'll be fully back into the swing of things soon enough but with more awareness of how much energy it can take up in mind.

Also if I haven't replied to a PM yet, it will be coming I promise.

Rosie

 

[Radiantcurves87]

I'm okay, was struggling too, and step away too. I do think taking breaks however the length is much needed. This place does become addictive and sometimes for the wrong reasons.

I joined lit bc I wanted to explore some sides, first it was reading stories, and then I met the people, who have now become friends. I think it is the people who keep me here more than anything.

Yes I agree. Making real friends here has been amazing.

I'm glad you're doing better now after stepping away.

 

[Wriggle]

Hi Rosie, you know me, I'm always great until I am not.
August is a peculiar month for everyone , and if you are feeling a little abstract and lost; it is normal, but there is loads of joy to be had I September .
Let's have it.

What a truly lovely post. Thank you, Rosie!

Doing great here. Super busy with my new job, which has also necessitated taking a step back from my online pursuits... and I think that brief step back has added a welcome balance. And also increased my pleasure and enjoyment when I do have time to visit. Thanks so much for asking about all of us!

It's wonderful to read how you're doing, as well. I really appreciate your thread, your posts, and the whole way that you conduct yourself here! Thanks for being so cool, Rosie...

And I'm so glad to hear about your positive journey and experience of community here! Your presence really brightens the world of Lit. Thank you.

Abstract and lost is a good way to put it. I've been an odd mix of lonely but unsociable and it's been very frustrating.
But things are already better than yesterday. My son is back home after 2 & a half weeks away
Next week we get back into more of a routine when the schools reopen here and that will really help too.

Let's have it indeed!

 

[RosewoodTulip]

I had to step away recently and I’m back for just a few days now. I’m already getting quickly addicted again. I haven’t really made any friends yet on here so not sure I should stay too long if there is no connections made.

Well find threads that interest you, not just say on Ampics for an example, but ones where you can really start a conversation and give people a chance to get to know you. There are threads here on all sorts of topics and for the most part people respond well to thoughtful or funny comments.
If you're looking for a deeper connection then a Personals thread might be an idea too.

I'm so glad things are going well for you.
Thank you as always for being so kind and positive. It's really appreciated.

Yes finding that balance so things stay fun here is very important. It's a work in progress for sure

 

[EnglishM41]

So I've been a little under the weather lately but wanted to keep myself occupied. I thought it might be fun to re read all of Stephen King's books as I used to be obsessed with him.
So today I'm starting Carrie who is Matilda with anger issues haha.

If any of you want to read along with me you are welcome to

https://i.ibb.co/cvs04CJ/20230730-174543.jpg

I really like the David Soul adaptation of "Salem's Lot".
Also saw the film 'Thinner" a couple of times.
"Shawshank Redemption" and "The green Mile" classics.

My favourite though is the "Creepshow" films
