Age Regression takes many forms.
Extra big shoutout and lots of love to my regressors who donโt have โtypical, activeโ pastimes while regressed.
The regressors who donโt 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 โkid snacksโ
Littles with depression, primarily impure regression, have tantrums, or other emotional dysregulation that makes them unhappy when regressed
Physically disabled regressors who canโt run around outside and/or donโt have accessible park equipment
Neurodivergent Littles who find certain play and activities uncomfortable for whatever reason
Regressors who struggle with psychosis, delusions, or intrusive thoughtsโespecially scary ones
Littles who are frequently hospitalized, have to undergo procedures, and/or take medications that make regression difficult
Regressors who canโt afford to buy gear
Littled with disabilities, chronic pain or illness, and autoimmune disorders that leave them constantly feeling sick
Whether itโs 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 doesnโt look the same as someone elseโs.
So much of agere is advertised around things like playing with toys, going to the park, having snacks, etc. But thatโs not how regression works for everyone, and their experiences shouldnโt be erased because they arenโt a certain โaesthetic.โ
In fact, youโre really awesome, brave, and strongโand Iโm proud of you!
Keep on regressing, everyone!
