tips for depressed, chronically ill, & disabled littles.

please reblog to help spread awareness!

it can sometimes be hard to feel little when you spend a lot of time in pain, bedridden, dealing with scary big thoughts, or any of the other things that can accompany mental or physical disabilities so these are things u can do to feel small with little effort.

ᯓ★ keep soft blankets + stuffies near you

literally what’s smaller than having your soft little comfort plushes with you? this is probably the easiest thing u can do that will make you feel at least a little smaller.

ᯓ★ download mobile games for kids

if you aren’t someone who can get up and down off the floor or if you’re in a lot of pain, or if its just a rough day and you want to stay in bed little kid games are good for feeling tiny.

ᯓ★ play baby music or soft lullabies 

if you’re not feeling up to playing at all and just need to rest, lullabies and nursery rhymes are rlly good for helping you rest and helping you feel tiny.

ᯓ★ age regression fanfic

this might sound silly but for littles with chronic pain something that genuinely can help is mood boards, one shots, etc. about ur favorite fictional cgs.

ᯓ★ think of your ‘lazy’ clothes as baby clothes

toddlers and babies are almost always dressed in comfy soft clothes so if you’re always in your soft sweatpants or cozy pjs to alleviate discomfort it’s just like little kids getting dressed in their soft little clothes!

ᯓ★ middle regression is always an option

if you’re worried about regressing because you have to take care of yourself (ex. handle a walking aid, medicine, etc.) middle regression is super accessible because you can be regressed and do a lot of the things big you can already do

middle regression can also entail less rambunctious/active play (videos games, reading, coloring, etc.)

ᯓ★ audio books 

if you look up ‘audio kids books’ or some form of that on youtube you can find kids stories read aloud! its something super fun that can make you feel small and you can do it anywhere at anytime.

ᯓ★ calming kids activities 

there are a whole bunch of websites that have ‘calm down’ activities for when kids are winding down from rambunctious play (playing with play dough, sensory toys, singing abcs/nursery rhyme games)

ᯓ★ remember not all regression looks the same

you don’t have to do anything to be small or to be valid as a regressor, regression looks different for everyone. there are ppl who regress and watch horror movies or ppl who regress while doing big kid things like going to the store or to school. your disability, no matter what form it comes in, does not invalidate your regression.

if you’re a little with disabilities, mama koda loves you!!

i think it’s so cool that everyone’s regression is different<3

some regressors babble, some are nonverbal, and some are a healthy mix! some regressors have clearly defined age ranges or drift and drop all over the place.

maybe you like to watch movies or play video games or go to the park! maybe you have a caregiver or maybe Tiny Time is just for you! our terminology and our needs are different but the thing that connects us is that we’re all trying to heal and cope.

idk. i feel so connected to other regressors. we all have our reasons for getting Small and i know that they’re not always positive but this is your healing space and you’re doing it in a way that’s right for you.

just know that this kiddo is cheering you on! i hope you’re well and i’m very proud of you.

Positive affirmations for age dreamers/regressors 🐳🍼🌈

to comfort and/or motivate <3

“It’s okay to feel small.”

“I believe in my big self and my little self.”

“I’m allowed to be a child when I need to.”

“I’m allowed to feel negative feelings.”

“My bad days don’t make my good days any less valid.”

“I’m proud of myself, no matter if I’m big or small.”

Please know you do not owe anyone an explanation on how and why you regress or dream. Whether it stems from childhood trauma, growing up too fast, always setting the needs of others before your own, coping with the hardships of everyday life or simply wishing to have fun—what matters most is that you are healing and enjoying yourself.

I was washing my sippy cup and filling it up with water and it made me kinda sad :( It made me want a cg/daddy even more. I imagined standing and watching as he washed and filled my sippy and then give it to me. I want a daddy and I know he'll be here for me when the time is right, but it made me feel kinda lonely 😥🥺😣😣

I would love to make friends with other people in the agere community, been feeling kinda lonely lately. 🫶🏻

I felt fussy today..

These cuties bring me so much joy

♡ spring baby ♡

da best time of da year !!

Shoutout to age regressors with trauma who use their regression to work through their trauma by talking about it to their caregiver and having someone who finally believes them about it and getting books that explain what happened to them in simple and easy to understand terms

Shoutout to age regressors who are just so anti authoritarian they can't handle having a cg who gives them rules and if their cg tries they immediately start an uprising. "chu wiww be heawing fwum my union wep, mr. cuddles!" I wiww not stand dis!!!!

I love seeing different regressors unique little talk. There are the more common replacing Ls and Rs with Ws but also inserting them in between a change from vowel to consonants. And the grammatical differences. Like some littles refer to themselves in the third person or use me instead of I or vice versa.

It's all so cute

DNI: nsfw, kink, age play

Shoutout to regressors who swear

Regressors who grew up hearing swearing so would regularly swear as a child

Regressors who think swears are just like any other word and are completely okay as long as you're not using them to hurt someone

Regressors who think it's funny to be so itty bitty and passionately say 'fuck' after they drop their paci on the floor

Regressors who use all the words available in their brain and aren't good at filtering out swear words

Regressors who throw tantrums and say hurtful words when their emotions are strong

Regressors who don't change their speech patterns when they're regressed

Teen regressors for whom swearing is a part of their regression

DNI: nsfw, kink, anti-agere

Imagine an agere summer camp. Regresssors coming from all over to spend a week to spend a week being kids together. And finally getting to meet online friends.

Sleeping together in cabins vaguely sorted by your little ages. Littler cabins in their onzies with their pacis and diapers. Not having to hide them away and getting to show off their collections of pacis. And the older regressors staying up far past the curfew playing video games on a gameboy one of them snuck in. And a cabin for the pet regressors with pet beds for those who use them.

Having campfires and craft circles and all the pets getting to run wild (and the teen regressors getting high behind the cabins but we keep that a secret from the tinies)

Having sticker charts to reward the tinies good behavior and having glass rules the middle and older regressors get to break and feel so rebellious about.

And so many smores

Imagine stepping out of the shower and your caregiver is ready with one of these and wraps you up in it and you sit on their lap as they wash your face and put moisturizer on you and boop your nose and give you little kisses

Affirmations for age regressors

I am a good kid

I am caring and loving

I am very cute and deserve to have my needs met

I am a good friend to all people, animals, and plants

Nobody is mad at me

Even if I do a bad thing that doesn't make me a bad kid, I just need to do better in the future

All of my friends and stuffed animals love me very much

caregiver with a black little that has internalized racism

always makes sure to put on shows with good black rep and buy books with black characters

does your hair all pretty in cornrows or box braids and adds colourful beads to it

always reassured you you're a good kid no matter what others assume about you

and that your skin and black features are very pretty

loves making your 'non-typical' agere meals that are a bunch of Jamaican foods (/foods from your ethnicity) your mom used to make for you

will do as much as possible to keep you away from the news when regressed

will NOT let anyone tell you that pastels don't look good on you

they're try to reassure you you don't need to worry about racism and stuff cause they'll protect you but sometimes they have to admit they can't protect you from everything and just let you cry in their arms

will teach you about strong black figures

helps you reconnect with parts of your culture your parents didn't share with you like reggae music

if you're African they'll wrap you in a bunch of African prints and celebrate Kwanzaa with you

I wish I had a caregiver that made sure I felt included in groups. That held me and rubbed my hand when I'm to tired to talk to remind me that they're still thinking of me and appreciating that I'm there.

Who makes a point to turn to me and respond if I try to say something but no one else listens. Who will ask me direct questions if I want to talk but I'm struggling to come up with something to say.

A caregiver that'll loudly say bye to me when I'm leaving so everyone notices and waves bye too

A caregiver that'll stand up for my needs when everyone else is ignoring them.

A caregiver that'll talk about me even when I'm not there, about how much they appreciate me and enjoy being around me

Caregiver healing from having a toxic little with their new little (little talk has plain text in brackets after it)

You get to your little's place after a long day at work. After a bit of playing with them they tell you, "you seem tiwed" (you seem tired)

"sorry, my precious"

"no, itz ok. but r u gud?" (no, it's okay. But are you good?)

"I'm just a little stressed about my work, that's all"

"ooh, jobs are vewy hard. I awways getz eepy ater work" (oh, jobs are very hard. I always get sleepy after work)

"well, good thing you have me here to look after you"

"but whatz abou u???" (but what about you)

"I'm okay"

"nu, bubba needa west wight now" (no, bubba (caregiver) needs to rest right now), your little one takes your hand and leads you over to their bed before weakly pushing you onto it.

"come on munchkin, I'm here to take care of you, not to nap"

"bu-but I needz u ta be wested s-so we can both be appy n pway" (but I need you to be rested so we can both be happy and play)

"okay, if you insist"

"yayyy, okie, nuw stay hewe. I needa get u stuff" (yay, okay, now stay here. I need to get you stuff)

"be safe!!!" you shout out as they rush off to the kitchen.

You wait in bed thinking over what your little tot could be doing. You listen carefully to make sure there are no concerning noises and while there are a couple thunks they're all followed by a quick "I okey" (I'm okay). You start to feel more guilty about leaving your little alone especially when they're this small and running around the house to do whatever they want. You think about how you're last little would have come back crying about how you didn't follow them even though they told you not to.

As your fears start to creep, thinking of your little muffin coming back upset or hurt they appear in the doorway happy as ever

" 'ook wa I made fur u" (look what I made for you?)

They present you with their favourite plate with a messy peanut butter and jelly sandwich in one section, chips in another and a mix of blueberries and raspberries in the last.

"I didznt cut da sammich cause i knuw u dun wanme usin sharp stuff. Annnn! N i added fwuits cause you awways say dere 'mpowtant" "I didn't cut up the sandwich because I know you don't want me using sharp objects. And! I added fruits because you always say they are important)

"aww, you're such a good kid" you say was you rub their hair.

"canz I cuddle wid u?" (can I cuddle with you?)

"of course!"

You lay there, hugging them and snacking on the food they made for you for a while.

"Hey button, I'm really sorry I couldn't be that good of a caregiver today"

"wha??? you were da best today!" (What? You were the best today) they cuddle into your arm, "I don eed you tu awways be stwong for me. ur da best cause I wuv u not cause of da stuff u do" (I don't need you to always be strong for me. You're the best because I love you, not because of the stuff you do for me)

Your caregiver supporting of you after people were harassing/bullying you online:

⭐ After it first happens they immediately delete whatever app you're being harassed on off your phone

⭐If you're done with that app they'll delete your account

⭐If you want to keep your account they'll make sure to take off any personal information or pictures of you you put up on that account so you can feel safe knowing no one can track you down and hurt you more

⭐They come up with a bunch of other activities for you to do instead of using that app

⭐They'd show you a bunch of episodes about bullying from kids shows to make you feel less alone

⭐They'd reassure you that your feelings are valid and that online bullying is real bullying

⭐They make sure to tell you it wasn't your fault and that you didn't deserve that

⭐"but-but what if I was being a bad kid", "bubba, nothing you could do online would ever justify people threatening to hurt you"

⭐Would promise you that if anyone ever tried to follow through on a threat that they'd protect you

⭐They'd talk to you about what it would mean for you to get justice against the people harassing you

⭐If it would be a good idea to take evidence of people who sent you death threats and try to have their account banned or try to track down their school/job and show them the evidence

⭐Together you decided that it would be best for your mental health if you just deleted any messages and blocked them

⭐After a while if you wanted to go back to using that app they'd go through the notifications and block anyone who was harassing you and show you all the messages people sent saying they were sorry you were being treated that way

⭐You'd have your head in their lap, holding onto your favourite stuffie for comfort and they'd be scrolling on your phone

⭐"Are there a lot of them?", "That doesn't matter Bubba. You're safe and you have me here to protect you", "...okay"

⭐Every so often they'd stop and show you a kind message from someone and each time you'd feel just a little bit safer

⭐They'd respond to those messages for you

⭐If you weren't out as a regressor on that account they'd translate your little-talk about how you had big feelings but their messages were like kisses on your boo-boos to more adult sounding thank-yous

When your therapist asks you what you do for your mental health but you're a closeted regressor: oh you know I like to do colouring books (with crayons), talk to my friends (baby talk to them), cuddle (with stuffed animals), or I'll take a bath (with plenty of rubber duckies and bath toys)

Hiii! I just made a community for age regressors to vent in :D

it's @@agere-venting, I had a lot of fun making it, I made the banner and pfp myself :D. I even added a list of hotlines if you need one :3

sooo plz join and share it maybe, that would make me really happy. thank youuuu!!!!

✨✨✨ A caregiver taking care of me when my vascular malformation has a flare up ✨✨✨

🫰I wake up and I'm trying to do my best to hide it but they can see that my hand is stuck in a ball and I'm holding it to my chest

🫰" what's wrong little one, is your hand hurting?"

🫰I start sobbing "uhh! It feewls so baddd, it's all one fire and like it's gonna burst outta my hand"

🫰"oh no, let me help you with that" they take my hand and guide me over to the bathroom sink then turn on the cool water and holds my hand under it

🫰I lean into them "ohhh, that feewls soo good"

🫰"how long has this been going on, sweetie?"

🫰I bury my head in their shoulder, "... a couple days"

🫰"why didn't you tell me before? You know I would have helped you?"

🫰"Cause I need to be a big strong boy"

🫰"you can be a big strong boy and also come to me for help"

🫰 they take me over to my bed and put me under a bunch of covers, wrap my hand in a cold, wet towel, and put one of my stuffies under it so it's elevated

🫰 "You should rest for now, here's an Advil. What do you want to watch?"

🫰"ooo, can we watch The Wild Robot?"

🫰"of course little one!"

🫰 the next day they get a sling for my arm so it's easier to keep to keep my hand elevated and reassures me that it's okay for me to wear even if I'm not 'injured' because it's helping me be in less pain

If you're curious about what a vascular malformation is: a bunch of the veins on my arm and on my back are like bigger than they're supposed to be or like tangled and stuff so sometimes blood clots form (they're harmless but painful) or just sometimes some veins expand and that causes a lot of pain in my hand. I'm pretty sure it's best if I keep my whole body cool but I love being cozy so I never do that >:)

Things that should have made me realise I'm an age regressor sooner

But they get less socially acceptable as they go on (plz DNI if you find padded regression and other things like it weird)

hoards of stuffed animals

"I hate being an adult cause when I'm in the grocery store all scared and alone I can't just start crying out for my mom because instead of someone assuming I'm lost, they'll just look at me weird"

always feeling like I was younger than all my peers even if they were actually slightly younger than me

like half the foods I eat I eat b/c they make me feel like a kid. Like my big treat for myself after a stressful week was a pack of paw patrol yogurt drinks

Getting super into kids media, like the only movie that interests me is The Wild Robot

feeling comforted by how period pads felt like diapers

Having trouble tinkling myself up until 10th grade

Still sleeping in my parents bed some nights in 7th grade

Still as an adult picking my nose (I know it's unsanitary and I'm trying to stop)

I got a thing of 96 crayons and organized them all so they're pretty :3
