for all my agere moots (or none idk) if you ever feel guilty about not being able to cuddle with all of your stuffed animals make a little chart so they can cuddle with you on their specific day
something like this :3 you don’t have to do that it just helped me got rid of plushie guilt
yes i include sunday at the end so i can feel like i’ve accomplished all my goals afterwards
i dunno if anyone other than me needs to hear this but your stuffed animals love you!
even if they don't sleep in bed with you every night! even if you don't play with them very often! even if they fall on the floor, or you squish them accidentally! even if you forget them in your bag overnight!
they all love you even if you've been spending a lot of time with one specific one and not as much with them! they know that different stuffies help bring you different comfort and they love you and love when you feel happy and safe!
your stuffed animals are your friends and they feel loved by you and they love you too :)
my favrite thing is wen my caregiver acknowledgs my regressed-ness ,, likelike saying , " youre too littl for that " or by calling me " little one " and stuff it makes me feels soso haply bubly !!! i lov my caregivr !!!
Good morning, little darling. Another snowy day; I think the temperature dropped last night. Did you sleep alright? Did you have enough blankies? Oh, your joints are achy. Poor dear; how about we run you a nice warm bath? That should help. Okay, upsie-daisy, let's head for the bathroom. Mama's going to run the water, and...let's see...how about we add some eucalyptus Epsom salts. That should help you relax. Here we go, just ease in...steady and slow. Mama's got you, she won't let go. There, how does that feel? I know, it's not fun to be achy. And this cold weather doesn't help. But once we finish with the bath, Mama is going to put you in a nappy and help you get comfy on the sofa, okay? We'll have a laid-back day, and you can get as much rest as you need. Let Mama take care of you.
(To the person who requested this, I hope you enjoyed!)
-> thinking about how fun it’d be to bake with my little, making something like cookies together after a long day to have some mama / baby time ! (´◡`*) zzz
𝜗𝜚 i’d measure out all the ingredients and let my little darling dump all the ingredients into the bowl, being careful to not spill anything, but giggling if we do a bit (because mistakes happen sometimes, and that’s totally okay!) ♡♡
𝜗𝜚 together we’d mix mix mix up all the ingredients until it turns into a nice and sticky batter, and i’d give my sweetie so many compliments for doing such a good job !! i’d also have to be a very attentive mama though and keep a close eye to be sure that we’re not sneaking any of the uncooked cookie dough while she forms the cookies on the tray hehe ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)✨
𝜗𝜚 then mama would put the cookies in the oven since my baby is just a bit to little for that, and we would watch a show or listen to some music while waiting ! patience is important to practice, but mama would make sure to help as much as she can to make the time pass by quickly !!
𝜗𝜚 and once the yummy treats are finally done, mama would settle done with her little one, happily sharing the finished cookies with some milk on the side (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) yum !!! 🍪🥛🤍
~Healing can look very different for everyone! From the way you heal to the time it take, or even just how it looks on the outside.
~So it’s very important to remember that healing is not a race, it doesn’t matter how far ahead everyone else looks it only matters that your doing what you need to for yourself.
~Not to mention those who look super ahead on their journey could actually be struggling a lot in stuff your not and it just doesn’t show, we would never know!
It’s not a straight line up, it more of scribbles and scrabbles all over the place!!
~And what if you don’t know where to start? that’s an amazing question! You start wherever ya want. Whatever feels good or calls out to you.
~A few things that might help:
Journaling prompts! You can find a bunch online, especially about inner child healing. And if writing things down in a journal seems like a lot, you could use your notes app!
Reclaiming childhood. If you weren’t allowed certain things as a kid, indulge in them now! (ex: if you weren’t allowed to play with “boy toys” but always wanted to, do it now)
Exploring your feelings. Sit in what your feeling and try to understand it, it can be tough but it’s an amazing start to healing and growing.
Start doing little acts of self compassion, listening to what your body needs and accommodating to it. Or stating affirmations to yourself (even if you don’t believe them just yet)
Even just watching things that can be therapeutic help! Shows like Bluey teach a lot of great things!
Throwing away the picture perfect way we are supposed be to according to society. Nobody’s journey is gonna look the exact same, bc we are all different people who function in different ways.
Find healthy outlets for emotions. art, writing, baking, or even screaming song lyrics help release big emotions in us!
~Those are just a few things that came to mind, that i hope can help someone out there. You are important, loved, and seen.
(side note: im thinking about doing a separate post on self compassion at some point in the future just because it interests me)
- DNI if your blog is NSFW/ABDL or any variation/dualcom, or if you interact with such content in a way that i can see from your blog - i will block you)
this is a self indulgent post nd what works for me a lot, but i hope it can maybe help others <3
affirmations for age regressors that grew up feeling guilty..
and still do
𓇼 first, try at taking a deep breath - like, a Reeeeal big one. inhale for 5 seconds - hold for 7 seconds - and exhale for 5 seconds. try to pay close attention to how it feels as the air fills your lungs and your torso stretches.
take as many deep breathes as you like.
(if youre thinking "taking deep breathes has never helped me before, this is stupid, i dont wanna do that" - thats okay, i get where youre coming from, but i really encourage you to try.)
𓇼 now you can repeat to yourself these statements:
𓆝 i didnt do anything wrong
𓆝 theres nothing to be ashamed of
𓆝 i am not hiding anything
𓆝 i am not a liar
𓆝 no one is upset with me
𓆝 there is not anything for anyone to 'find out'
𓆝 i am good
𓆝 i am trustworthy
𓆝 i am able to learn from my mistakes
𓆝 i am not in trouble
take time to mull over a statement if you find yourself stuck on it, or having trouble repeating it to yourself. let the words sit in your mind for as long as you like, then move on to the next one
Shoutout to Caregivers that went through unspeakable childhood trauma and heal themselves by taking care of regressors the way they wish they had been taken care of
