🩷How to tell someone about your regression🩷

🧃This is just some tips on how to do it, aka how I usually do it. If another way works for you that's great! This is just some idea on how to do it and be comfortable with it!🧃

🩷videos and online resources, if you are shy about explaining it yourself there are some great Textposts and videos online that explain regression and what it is, I have some myself on my tik tok and Instagram (I'll link the TikTok below) and there is a short film on YouTube called "too little" that's awesome🩷

🧃explain, I like to start by explaining what agereggression is, or even ask if they know something about it already, sometimes they do and that can be a great point to work from🧃

🩷be open, be open about why you regress at least as much as you are comfortable, people are kess likely to react poorly if they know why and can understand it🩷

🧃text message, preparing a text message or letter in advance, maybe even with a friend or cg, can be super helpful, especially if you experience going nonverbal🧃

🩷be sure, do not open up to someone because you feel forced or scared, be sure you feel safe with the person and exposing such a vulnerable side to them, nobody is entitled to your safe space🩷

🧃test the water, I like to hint at regression and test the waters first, wearing jewelry with kiddo nicknames or similar on it or having merch from more well known brands, if someone recognizes them and asks about it you know there is base knowledge🧃

🩷open up, I like to let people know about my trauma and other trauma-responses first, once they are aware of certain things it helps with the talk later on as it won't be as much if a shock that you might have to cope in unconventional ways🩷

Fun fact of the day: it would take 19 minutes to fall to the center of the earth

Tips for Depression for Little Ones

*But tips that are actually manageable and won’t take too much energy.

~ Staying hygienic with depression can be a challenge. It’s important to set realistic goals for yourself, so you don’t get overwhelmed. A couple ways to stay hygienic is using dry shampoo, baby wipes, mouthwash and deodorant. These are all generally low effort and don’t feel as draining.

~ Eating and staying hydrated can feel extremely difficult. A way to keep up with water intake is keeping a big water bottle near your bed. You can reach over, take a sip, and lay back down. For food, cooking can be an exhausting task. Find packaged foods you can leave on your nightstand, even if they’re just snacks or find microwavable meals.

~ Movement is important. But with hard days, it can feel impossible to leave bed. However, there are stretches you can do in your bed so you can still get a bit of movement in during your day.

~ Understand that it’s okay to feel upset. It’s okay to have tantrums, cry, be angry. It doesn’t make you a bad kiddo. You’re allowed to feel your feelings. And it is always okay to ask for help.

I found a channel on YouTube that I love to watch when regressed. I wanted to share it!

note: the channel may not be for everyone, especially more hyper littles or kiddos who get bored easily :)

It’s just a channel showcasing/playing with toys. They show toys from today as well as toys that were made in the early 2000s and even as early as the mid-1900s. There’s no talking, it’s just ASMR. Personally I find it super soothing and great for when I just want something to watch while I cuddle up with my stuffies.
