₊˚⊹ᰔ Your meltdowns do not make you scary.

₊˚⊹ᰔ Your meltdowns do not make you dangerous.

₊˚⊹ᰔ Your meltdowns do not not make you unlovable.

₊˚⊹ᰔ Your meltdowns do not make you gross.

₊˚⊹ᰔ Just because they don’t understand doesn’t make what they’re saying true.

₊˚⊹ᰔ Sometimes meltdowns are necessary to self regulate, and that’s okay.

₊˚⊹ᰔ Meltdowns are not embarrassing or shameful.

₊˚⊹ᰔ You are deserving of support during your meltdowns, not bashing.

- sleepy Whining and eye rubs

- sleeping on your tummy or curled up in a ball

- drinking from a bottle!!

{especially if your not holding it}

- being held!!

- being cradled and bounced!!!

- nonsense coos and babbling

- fussing and clinging to your caregiver <33

- Always wanting a little nap

🫧 You are brave for being able to regress on your own. It's sometimes tough to be small alone , but you've been pulling through all this time to have fun and cope regardless !

🫧 The way you always find ways to regress / handle regression on your own makes you resourceful !

🫧 You're not any less of a little just because you don't have a cg. All teenies are different in their own way !

🫧 It's okay if you don't want to tell anyone around you about your regression. It's something vulnerable that means a lot to you, and I understand ♡

awa! (pls reblog if u like!)

Cutiecon is a one day, 5 hour online convention for the agere community (adults only)! It will be held on a discord server, with multiple chat channels, an artist alley, and live events! It will be on a saturday (date tbd) from 5-10pm. Here's the break down:

Chat Channels

There will be multiple chat channels to mix and mingle with other regressors/caregivers! There's 2 of every chat to allow for multiple conversations, including:

General chat

Questions and answers

Fandom zone

Live Events

There will be five live events held, one every hour. They will be:

A mixer, where we play games to get to know each other

A panel about agere gear: how to obtain it, how to make it yourself, storage, etc

A craft along, making multiple crafts with household items (supply lists will be posted prior to the event)

A bake along, making treats from common ingredients (a list will also be posted prior to the event)

To cap off the night there will be a movie watch party! The movie will be voted on.

Artist Alley

The artist alley will be a channel where agere vendors make one post describing what they sell and how to get in contact with them! It's basically a directory for as many agere shops and artists as we can find, and will be compiled into a Google doc or post to be accessed after the con. Anyone who sells agere related products is welcome! Including:

Art commissions

Writing commissions

Pacifiers

Mystery boxes

Clothing

Anything else!

I've been dealing with some guilt towards my regression the past couple days. I have been feeling self conscious and embarrassed about my regression and it's been making it harder to relax and let myself get into little space. I took some time this afternoon to brain storm a few things I can do and I wanted to share!!

🐸 Write it out! I have a "worry" journal. I set a 15 minute timer for myself and just let myself write whatever has been bothering me. After the 15 minutes is over I close the journal and throw it across my room.

🐌 You could also write a letter to someone talking about your feelings. This doesn't mean you have to give them that letter!! Sometimes it is soothing to write to someone who hurt you and then rip it up into tiny little pieces afterwards. Another option is to write a letter to your CG about how much you appreciate them and their support :)

🐸 Positive affirmations! I keep a sticky note on my chore chart of a few affirmations I can say to myself when I am worked up.

🐌 Meditation/Mindfulness. You can do ones that are made for kids if it helps! There are also kids toys that are geared at helping little ones slow down and take some deep breaths. My Furby has a relax mode where he guides me to do some breathing. It is both silly and relaxing enough to distract my brain for a little bit.

🐸 Ask your CG to write you a letter you can read when you are dealing with tough emotions. If you have a fictional CG you can write yourself a note pretending to be them! There are also people out there who will write you letters from your CG. Even if you don't have a CG, you can write a letter to yourself. When you are feeling big, write a letter of all the kind things you wish you could say to little you.

🐌 Age regression can be part of a healthy coping toolbox. You are not doing anything wrong by regressing. It is okay to regress. It is okay to take time for you. It is okay to do something that is just for your own happiness.

🐸 You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to be messy and noisy and playful. You deserve love and care. You deserve to have your needs met. I'm sorry others in your life let you down and made you feel this way. But it will be okay, and we can heal together, I promi.

🐌 Remember; it is okay to take a break from voluntary regression for any reason. Your stuffies and dollies will understand and they will be there for you when you return. ♥️

Feel free to add your own!

If you are continually dealing with feelings of guilt and shame, don't be afraid to reach out to someone. It can hard to unlearn these sorts of things on your own. You aren't weak for needing extra support.
