lets show some love to the regressors who...
note: slight mentions of trauma/mental health issues - can only do/feel comfortable with non-physical punishments - feel uncomfortable with calling carers daddy, having a masc presenting one - feel uncomfortable using parental names - are very sensitive in their headspace and need constant reassurance - have impure regression, or use regression to cope with mental health problems - have trauma is linked to their regressing - have age regression blocks or periods that there's a lot of regressing, and then none (you're still a regressor -fellow one who does this) - when tiny, struggle to self-regulate and feel a lot of big feelings intensely - have a lot, or mostly involuntary regression that's really bumpy- switching from little age to little age - regress so tiny, that they also get frustrated with the effects (ex: upset it's hard to use your words, or can't walk around without stumbling/bumping into things -also me) - have big or intrusive thoughts while tiny - are flips (you don't have to be big, let alone a caregiver all the time) - feel tiny, but not tiny enough for most activities (like too big for coloring, dolls, cartoon, etc)
As someone who also struggles with most of these things, I think it's important to talk about them. Yes, they don't fit the "cutesy pinterest tiktok agere" people are used to, but regression is different for everyone. I just wanna say, you're not alone.
