hi little one! im sorry to hear your head is all fuzzy, that's never fun.
let's try and clear out some of that fuzz, ok?
take a deep breath in, and count to 4 in your head! hold it while you count to 2...... and breathe out while you count to 6. try it a couple times.
once you've done that, find something in the room you're in and look at it really hard! think about all the colors on it, and what it would feel like if you touched it (you can actually touch it, if it's nearby!). you can think about it to yourself, or you can tell me! whichever feels easier for you :)
i hope this helps, sweetpea! i'm very proud of you for reaching out instead of trying to face it on your own 💖
I love clingy regressors !!!!!
Yes you can hold my hand, spam text me, tell me all about your day, info dump on me, yes papa'll color with you, of course we can play, absolutely we can go to the park, yes of course we can match outfits today, I would love a matching bracelet, of course you can introduce me to all of your stuffies, of course you can sit with papa while he plays video games
heuugh no one mentions the cuteness agression when it comes to being a caregiver.
what do you mean you're curling up to me because i'm comforting/safe to you. hhueejghuuhghg... it hasn't happened today but this happened in the past week.
i need to compress that kid into a cube and hug it til they explode, i think.
i'm so big bro coded sometimes like yeah let's go sit on a roof while i give you life advice and create constellation names like eddie the octopus. let's play video games where i beat you and tease you about being humble.
let's go to the park and i hold your hands while you balance on my skateboard, promising to not let you fall and wiping away dirt from your palms when you do. lets go on a long walk or drive and listen to our shared playlist that makes us remember the good times, singing at the top of our lungs.
talk to me about your worries and let me hold on to them for you. tell me what scares you and let me fight the monsters in your closet. let's build a fort together.
mama who knows how easily upset her baby can get and knows the health effects it have on her baby, opting for a grounding touch and soothing words when her baby has a panic attack.
firmly placing her hand in the middle of her little one's chest, she could feel the pounding of her baby's precious heart that hurts so much sometimes. rubbing soothing circles with her palm, trying to get the regressed one breathing under control.
" hey, hey, it's okay, baby, mama's here. you're safe, sweetling, come on let's breath together yeah? inhale... exhale... inhale... exhale. you're doing such a good job, you're alright, mama's got you. "
You’re not gross, you’re not dirty, and you’re not unlovable. You’re just in a lot of pain and very hormonal. Give yourself some grace and rest for as long as you need. This time is all about you and your healing.

If you need some comfort, you’ll find it below
You’re uncomfortable, nothing feels right, and everything sucks. Now is not the time to worry about what others think and restricting yourself to fit some meaningless standard.
Do whatever you need to do to feel even slightly better.
Your body is working twice as hard right now, let yourself indulge in your cravings. Eat chocolate, ice cream, cookies, bread, and anything else that brings you comfort. You need it. Especially because I don’t want you passing out.
Bloating and acne are normal, you’re not gross, you’re just hormonal. Take a warm shower or bath if you’re not feeling well. Take as long as you need, stay warm until you feel better. Maybe do some self care if you’re feeling up to it. But remember, only do what you feel like.
Now is not the time to stress yourself out and do everything possible. Now is the time to decompress and relax. Stay in bed all day, have couch time when your room feels weird, sit outside if that’s okay, maybe take a walk if it’s nice.
Just remember to keep track of your pain medication and drink plenty of water. You’re so unbelievably strong. And it’ll be over soon.
Just please treat yourself with kindness and prioritize yourself this week. Nothing is more important than your health and happiness. Spoil yourself, enjoy your cravings, and let yourself rest.
