pretty rude that i’m not small enough to sit under mushrooms
I really want to be a baby cuddled up in a blanket watching cartoons, sipping on juice in a sippy cup, with a CG cuddled up next to me asking if I'm hungry and would like a bottle
I really want to be babied
I’m literally like a child please give me sparkly star stickers and hair pets when I do something without someone having to tell me too
Me: *is feeling bad* Also me: *can’t think of a way to make it funny* Brain: can’t talk about it then
this is…. meta as fuck
not resilient like a beautiful flower pushing up thru concrete but resilient like an inflatable bounce back clown toy being punched repeatedly in the head by a maniacal 5 year old
Putting myself gently down in a tub of boiling hot water feels so good… god should’ve made me a bag of tea honestly
my secret agenda is actually just to sit in your room and show you my favorite songs while you explain different things you have on your wall or your desk to me
I just wanna wake up in someone’s lap, and they smile and say “hey puppy” teasingly, before shushing me back to sleep as they pet my head
♡ small ways to interact with your regressor ♡
🧸when watching a show/movie they like, ask them who certain characters are
🍯talk for their stuffies to them
☁️ask them what color things are
🧸ask them how many of something there are
🍯ask them to read something small for you
☁️do things like tying their shoes, filling up their drinks, or even cutting up their food for them
🧸get excited when they get excited
🍯praise them for doing even the smallest task (i.e. cleaning their room by themselves, drinking water without being told, etc)
☁️make them feel special by calling them a good boy/girl/little one for no reason other than because they are!
🧸remind them of their daily routines (i.e. “did you brush your teeth today?” “have you cleaned your room today?” etc)
˗ˏˋ regressing due to childhood trauma things ˎˊ˗
────────────────────────
꒰ 🧺 ꒱ getting sad because you realize you were never allowed to be a child and now you have to regress just to try and feel what you should’ve had
꒰ 🌲 ꒱ being overly shy / anxious around cg’s cause you were never shown that type of affection :’)
꒰ 🧚♂️ ꒱ just wanting to be shown that you are genuinely cared for ,, we weren’t shown that enough
꒰ 🍓 ꒱ feeling scared / unsettled / an obscure amount of anxiety when regressed for no specific reason
꒰ 🧺 ꒱ having issues with trusting cg’s
꒰ 🌲 ꒱ not wanting a cg because of uncertainty
꒰ 🧚♂️ ꒱ fussing / tantrums / bratty moments that aren’t on purpose
꒰ 🍓 ꒱ agere feeling so hopeless after awhile because you shouldn’t have to relive your childhood ,, it should’ve been enough then
꒰ 🧺 ꒱ crying for no reason ,, feeling abandoned for no reason

but im out of my head when you’re not around…
This dance is an inspiration
Someone’s tone changes for even a split second and it’s like suddenly you can’t focus on anything but for the fact that you MUST have done something to upset them and you need to either fix it or just shut up

age regression CAN be a toxic/unhealthy coping mechanism, and here's why
We age regressors love to spread the notion that age regression is NEVER toxic, NEVER unhealthy, and ALWAYS a good idea and i'm here to say: that's not true.
it's 100% real and can be a good coping mechanism, but it's a double sided coin.
i'm not here to tell you that age regression is a tumblr snowflake thing, or that it's pedophilia, or whatever, but i am here to explain that age regression isn't good for everyone, and can go from good to toxic and unhealthy really easily.
let me tell you a bit about how my age regression developed over the two years i've been doing it:
the first six months, i typically spent about an hour or two regressed every few days, totaling usually no more than seven hours a week. i was a voluntary regressor, meaning i could choose when i wanted to regress and when i wanted to be my normal age. this was good regression.
the next year after that, i typically did not regress every day, sometimes not even every week. i was still a voluntary regressor. i used it only when i really needed it, but my other (pre-existing) unhealthy coping mechanisms grew out of control. i'm sure you're expecting me to say this is toxic, unhealthy age regression, but it's not. i don't think this was a healthy part of my life, but the unhealthy part wasn't regression-related, so this was good regression.
within the last six months, i typically spend 10+ hours, if not more, at least partially regressed. i'm regressed at school for most of the day, i don't do my work because of it (and other mental health stuff, but at least partially because of regression) and i've done sexual things with my partner while regressed, because i knew i wouldn't be able to get completely out of the headspace for the majority of our trip (we're long distance so we only had a weekend. not his fault - he doesn't know about my regression and i'm a good actor). i've come to rely on it and i don't know how to cope with things when i can't do it. i now regress involuntarily, without any control at all over when i regress (i mean, i still CAN regress voluntarily, but it's mostly involuntary). this is toxic and unhealthy regression.
all kinds of regression can be unhealthy. all kinds of regression can be healthy.
voluntary regression can be unhealthy. voluntary regression can be healthy.
involuntary regression can be unhealthy. involuntary regression can be healthy.
rarely regressing can be unhealthy. rarely regressing can be healthy.
regressing often can be unhealthy. regressing often can be healthy.
always being regressed can be unhealthy. always being regressed can be healthy.
IF IT CONSISTENTLY GETS IN THE WAY OF OTHER THINGS IN YOUR LIFE (CAREER, SCHOOL, FAMILY, RELATIONSHIPS, ETC) ITS UNHEALTHY.
most involuntary regressors have been caught in a situation where they shouldn't regress but they can't help it once or twice, but if it's consistently happening (multiple times a day or week) then it's unhealthy.
most regressors have skipped out on something (event, family time, date, etc) so they could regress once or twice. if it happens consistently, it's unhealthy.
in conclusion: age regression can be as unhealthy as it is healthy.
i actually think this is very important to talk about.
regression can be a great coping mechanism, but only if utilized correctly, just like any other positive coping mechanism.
I 1000% agree with this and have told others many times this same thing.
If your regression is stopping you from taking care of your ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), is hurting your relationships, your school or work life or is even hurting YOU, then it is becoming unhealthy.
You can be in a childlike mindset all day... But if your failing school, or haven't eaten or showered in ages, then you are no longer coping. You're escaping and that's dangerous. Please be careful.
