Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

New to posting here, though I’ve been reading along for a while. The background… A close female friend of mine knows about my chastity interests and agreed to be my key holder. We set up an arrangement and started using the device on a schedule. She timed my orgasms and handed out punishments and rewards as she saw fit. It was enjoyable for both of us, but I had a panic attack (work-related) which upset her in turn. This occurred roughly 3 months ago; despite staying close friends, she decided to take an indefinite pause from being my key holder. Lately, it feels like we might be nearing the point where our chastity agreement resumes, something I’ve been anticipating. Then there is yesterday. My position was cut and suddenly I’m navigating unemployment while job hunting. Now I have to decide whether to ask my key holder to come back or just wait for her to bring it up again. She knows I want things to restart even if I don’t say so. So now I look to this community to help guide the choice. The advantages - I’ll have plenty of free time and chastity will stop me from masturbating unnecessarily. The disadvantages - Chastity won’t provide any drive to stay productive while unemployed. I’ll handle most, perhaps all, of the housework plus some home improvement tasks. I’m heading out for the weekend and will return on Monday with updates. I also plan to meet Goddess for lunch next week and will tell her these results face-to-face.
