Age Regression takes many forms.
Extra big shoutout and lots of love to my regressors who donβt have βtypical, activeβ pastimes while regressed.
The regressors who donβt crawl on the floor with their toys because they have chronic pain
The trauma regressors who are burnt out by their regression
Littles with sleep disorders, disabilities, or other circumstances that leave them always too tired to play
Littles who live in hostile situations that prevent them from feeling safe enough to enjoy activities
Regressors who have allergies, autoimmune, ED, digestive problems, or other conditions that prevent them from having typical βkid snacksβ
Littles with depression, primarily impure regression, have tantrums, or other emotional dysregulation that makes them unhappy when regressed
Physically disabled regressors who canβt run around outside and/or donβt have accessible park equipment
Neurodivergent Littles who find certain play and activities uncomfortable for whatever reason
Regressors who struggle with psychosis, delusions, or intrusive thoughtsβespecially scary ones
Littles who are frequently hospitalized, have to undergo procedures, and/or take medications that make regression difficult
Regressors who canβt afford to buy gear
Littled with disabilities, chronic pain or illness, and autoimmune disorders that leave them constantly feeling sick
Whether itβs due to a disability, chronic pain, depression, living situations, etc, regression is different for everyone, and that should be recognized. Whatever it is, your regression is valid and important. You are welcome here and you are a valued me ever of the community, even if your little space doesnβt look the same as someone elseβs.
So much of agere is advertised around things like playing with toys, going to the park, having snacks, etc. But thatβs not how regression works for everyone, and their experiences shouldnβt be erased because they arenβt a certain βaesthetic.β
In fact, youβre really awesome, brave, and strongβand Iβm proud of you!
Keep on regressing, everyone!
