Do you have any tips coping regressing impurely alone? I used to be content with my stuffies “taking care of me” but I’m finding myself longing for someone to take care of me as well. (I hope thats not a tmi) but thank you petal ᵕ̈
not tmi at all, thank u for asking !
i don’t impurely regress much, but here are some things that personally help me when i do ! :
1 ) sometimes a good cry is what u need ! : icky feelings just get the best of us sometimes, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of ! i find that crying / throwing a tantrum ( safely ) is sometimes what’s needed to get all of those feelings out of me. holding back from letting ur tears flow can lead to those feelings bottling up, which may lead to a bigger tantrum later, so getting those feelings out while u can is important !
2 ) ur stuffies care abt u ! : i luv ur idea of ur stuffies “ taking care of u “ because i know they truly love u lots ! just like u take care of them, ur stuffies love and care for u too, and it’s good that u feel comfy enough to run to them in ur time of need !
comfort items like stuffies / toys / blankets / etc. can help loads with grounding and making u feel safe when ur feeling impure ! grabbing something like a soft blanket or a toy with a fun texture can help bring u back down when u feel that things may be getting too much.
3 ) can’t get feelings out ? maybe redirection will help ! : if u aren’t in a place / headspace where u feel safe enough to cry / let out ur feelings, turning on a comfort show or listening to some music may help ! anything to get ur mind off of the icky feelings u may find urself surrounded with !
4 ) good support system ! : if u don’t have a caregiver / babysitter, maybe u have a pal u feel comfy enough to be with in times u are impure ! they may not be able to care for u, but having company when you may be feeling overwhelmingly alone can be a great reminder that ur brain is being silly and that u ARENT alone at all !
5 ) last but not least, let’s remember some things ! : u are kind, u are valid, and there is nothing wrong with u ! ur undeniably perfect just the way u are, there’s not one thing that needs changing ! it’s okay to be sad, it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to throw tantrums and feel icky, but it’s most important to be gentle with urself !
things can be hard without a caregiver, trust me i know, but we also have to care for ourselves in these times too ! be gentle, be kind, be soft with urself, u deserve it !
one last note : if there’s ever a time u need some company and don’t know who to run to, i’m here ! i may not be able to babysit all of the time, but my dms are open no matter what ! no request is too silly or dumb, they’re all important to me, just like UR important to me ! i hope i was able to answer ur question, and i hope that u have an amazing rest of the day / night !
