obligatory intro post even though this account is mostly for myself.
i’m bugspur and im 22.
i love literature, poetry, cold weather, food, dnp, food review channels (but like, the low quality ones that have 0-20 viewers (trust! they’re so good)), zelda, video games, and indie folk music (talk to me about elliott smith).
i work as a sped parapo on my day to day and i’m currently getting my masters in creative writing for poetry!
this account is mostly for SFW agere & mental health.
i personally regress involuntarily & i don’t seek out those relationships online. usually i keep to myself about it (occasionally my partner is with me) as its more a personal coping mechanism that i feel awkward to share with others. nothing against those who are open or do so voluntarily!
i’m okay with having friends in the community but i am very uncomfortable being talked to in “baby gibberish” or interacting with those who are actively regressed. i’m not your cg & i don’t like to role play like that (not saying it’s ALL roleplay but like, cmon).
i’m just looking to see if there are other people like me out there maybe.
anyways. this is a safe space for all lgbtq / trans / minority / mentally ill / etc etc.
shoutout to autistic age regressors who have their autism as a very major part of the reason why they regress.
a major reason why i personally age regress and get the urge to regress is because as an undiagnosed autistic child i was not ready for the rate at which new expectations were given to me.
it's understandable to wanna be tiny when people expected you to meet milestones that you weren't able to meet.
it's understandable to wanna be tiny when infancy seems like the only years where the expectations aren't scary and/or unreasonable.
reminder to all my littles who struggle with their mental health ; it will all be okay. It’s okay to eat that meal , it’s okay to take that shower , it’s okay to sleep a little longer than you feel is necessary. Take care of yourself , and remember to stop and breathe. You are important , you matter , and you are loved. 🩷
Age regression is always portrayed as this pure super cute, electable comforting thing in social media and I’m sorry but, I’m tired, there’s sometimes it’s not. Sometimes age regressing is extreme feelings, it’s hitting your head and screaming in pain and laying on the floor and kicking and wanting it to stop. Sometimes it’s shaking in anxiety, biting your hands and stimming uncomfortably. Sometimes theres no comfort, sometimes the triggers are not good, and that’s fine too. Age regressing does not mean pure state, it means a much younger one. Just that. It can be violent and ugly too
yes take me into the kitchen, hold my hand and help me make breakfast, help me reach all of the things that are too high up for me, pat me on the head and tell me i did a good job when we are done!
just domestic things like making meals or doing chores are so much more comforting when mixed w regression
Sometimes all I want is someone to look at me and say "no one should ever have to go through what you went through. I can't belive so many people cared so little that that happened" and scoop me up in their arms and give me milk and let me be so soft it makes up for all the moments I couldn't be
Sometimes regression is being so mad at the day you had and the people that are mean and the world for being cruel that you can’t help but get small at the end of the day and seek comfort and feel frustrated at yourself for wanting to regress and be safe.
Sometimes regression is having an ugly meltdown and crying about things that are happening and things that happened before and things you don’t want to have happen again.
Sometimes regression is the last defense against a depressive episode, the hope that nostalgia will give you the feelings you need.
Sometimes regression is coming down from panic and anxiety swirling, self soothing or being held by someone while you’re catching your breath and shakily drinking water.
Sometimes regression is not wanting anybody to touch you at all, wanting nobody to hurt you or overstimulate you or make you feel like you physically exist at all.
And sometimes regression is letting your little self drink the water you need, eat the food you deserve, put your face in the sunlight and do whatever you need to do to keep going. Sometimes it’s letting yourself sit and breathe. Sometimes you share that space with all of your feelings, simple and complicated alike while you’re little. Sometimes it’s just about feeling safe. ˚✧₊⁎💛⁎⁺˳༚
i want to be taken care of to an extreme amount. i love being an independent woman but sometimes i just want papa to choose my outfit for the day and do my hair. he makes dinner for us because im too tiny to use the stove. i sit on the counter watching him and then we get to kiss and kiss and kiss.
