I have spoken with my therapist since I realized, and yeah…he suggested reaching out to other folks in the community in the first place. For me it's a matter of like, I have a lot going on, it’s kinda scary. So I involuntarily start to regress sometimes when adult life is just too much, I guess wou...

Therapy and self-care. Using regression as a form of escapism isn’t the answer. Get into therapy. If it isn’t helping then seek out a different therapist until someone actually helps you. You deserve to be helped, not to live forever hiding and trying to get away from your very real problems. The an...

This particular place also holds a lot of people who insist that they can't control when and where they regress, which...as I keep saying (when asked), if that IS true (and I have doubts), it's not at all safe, especially for those who claim to become nonverbal or otherwise unable to function in li...

I don’t believe this has anything to do with dom/sub or BeDeeSeM. It’s a real problem with encouraged mentalities. Before I go any further, I’m feeling a little unwell tonight so I might be all over the place with my thoughts. I wanted to jot them down though. So, I don’t know what’s happened exactl...

My partner fell into the mentality that babies don’t directly respond and just passively accept. They felt like the more they replicated the behavior, the closer they’d be to some magical feeling they had imagined they’d reach. Have you and/or your partner ever spoke about this difficulty directly ...

I think you have an interesting set of long-time desires and perspectives. I feel that you don’t need a magical diagnosis to realize something about you isn’t common, but also that the uncommon don’t necessarily need to be “fixed”. I also feel like that a lot of what you describe are things that def...

I have a feeling you’re connecting objects as identifiers to this personality trait. These objects do not make or define a person as a Little though, and are mostly physical items that feel encouraging or validating to the personality that already exists. Maybe you have an oral fixation or think tha...

Maybe it’s a little off topic in a way but if you think a dog or cat might help you in some way then maybe you could see about volunteering at an animal shelter. I know when I lived in an apartment and I wanted a pet I ended up going to the animal shelter a lot, it was somehow very therapeutic in it...

It’s understandable you feel unwell when it’s something you desire but your partner is against it. I think it’s a lot like any major relationship issue though. You have to hear the other person and you both have to figure out how to adapt in a way that works for you both. In the case of polyamory, y...

I don’t feel polyamory is wrong or selfish as long as all persons and relationships are treated fairly. Communication is crucial to keeping things healthy.
