#late regression

[codys-theme]

late regression is genuinely so terrifying and i feel like its not talked about enough. im fully verbal but my stutter has been getting worse and im experiencing verbal shutdown more often. my fine motor skills are getting worse, i got out of occupational therapy in middle school but im starting to regress back to a point similar to where i was at before occupational therapy. its getting harder to mask and im scared.

Pupa ✢ The writing reads:

Time envelops and keeps me Not awake / Not asleep In this chrysalis / In this shroud I am stillborn / I am buried alive Yet I change / I am changing / And I ache Held still

I started this over a year ago and came back to it periodically, but I decided to just finally finish it. It’s morphed, undone itself, and transformed many times in the process of illustrating it. Sincerely, I considered giving up on the piece. I am glad I didn’t despite its awkwardness; I admit that it doesn’t sit in the eye well. But somehow I feel that it suits the piece and what it means.

I am, if anything, relieved to have finished an illustration finally. It’s been nearly eight months since my last. Prints are available in my shop. (I also have mini prints for $5cad/$3.40usd!)

On days when you're overwhelmed and everything feels like it's too much,  it's okay to take a step back and take care of yourself. Here's how I do it!

▪︎Break down your to-do list into smaller tasks. If you have ten things to do, split the list in half, then pick one or two that will be easy to complete. Sometimes when I feel stressed about everything I need to do, it helps to start small! Even if you only get half a task done before you need a break, it will make the list shorter overall!

▪︎Take a shower/bath. Getting clean and dressing in clean clothes after helps reset our brain, which can help us calm down when our brains are too loud.

▪︎ Turn off social media for a day. I cheat sometimes and still watch YouTube during the break, but if your feeds are stressing you out there is no shame in turning them off for a day! I promise you'll feel better without the constant negative posts.

▪︎ Talk to someone you trust. If you need a distraction, text a friend or loved one. It's easy to feel isolated when overwhelmed, but you are never alone 💛

▪︎ Take a deep breath and sit outside for five minutes. It's easy to spiral when our circumstances are out of our control. During these times, it helps me to take one, deep breath, then sit outside in nature for a bit. It's almost like meditation, watching the grass move in the wind, or following an insect in flight. Sitting and remembering that the nature around us, what we see and feel, is real.

We're going to be okay 💛

being a phys + mentally disabled regressor.. putting stickers on pill containers and mobility aids.. carrying around "childrens" water bottles and cups, plushies and comfort items.. themed bandages and compression gear.. stimming and exaggerated behavior.. pointing out objects that relate to your interests.. phone straps and lanyards.. carrying around medical items in your bag.. decorating your bag with pins and patches of your interests, keychains of characters.. bubble-baths when showering isnt an option, bringing toys into bathtime.. reading bedtime stories, listening to child-friendly music to calm yourself.. eating interest-shaped safe foods.. struggling to play "normally" but playing in your own way - making up stories, lining up toys, counting objects, watching television, coloring.. being yourself in every possible way.

I want a cg who treats me like how my big cousins used to treat me when I was for real little

I want piggy backs without a care for if it might be a bit dangerous

I want a sneaky sip of their coffee even though I really shouldnt

I want pre-loved toys covered in stains

I want to sneak away and go try and bake some cookies without a recipe

I want debates over why the character in the book theyre reading me is being stupid

I want them bringing me a little treat like a heart shaped rock or a pretty shell everytime they see me

I want yelling "no we can't!" over every single bob the builder episode

I want to be pushed so high on the swing I feel I might go all the way round

I want taking nothing serious and living in the moment

Childhood trauma culture is being grown and still getting really into whatever was popular with kids/teens when you were that age because you feel like you missed out

Shoutout to introjects who’s fandom consistently sees them as a caregiver when in system they’re actually a regressor

And shoutout anyone in between, I see you, remember that you’re your own valid person and other peoples baseless notions don’t define you and your experience

Hoy llegó mi nuevo peluche! ¿Podrían ayudarme a escoger un nombre para elle?

Today my new stuffed animal arrived! Could you help me choose a name for her?

[mamafalin]

I’d like to take some time to give some love to other polyamorous people in the agere community.

Shout out to polyamorous littles; those with multiple caregivers they’re in romantic relationships with in big space, those with multiple QPP’s, those with relationships with their regressor siblings.

Shout out to polyamorous caregivers; those with multiple regressors, or other caregivers, or QPP’s in their life.

We have a lot of love to give and I’m so proud of you for making it to today to continue giving it. 💕
