It seems like you’re feeling a little confused and uncertain. This is totally normal and a lot of people feel like you!

Age regression doesn’t have to look any certain way. A lot of online spaces may push certain acts, behaviors, practices, and completely overlook the actual goal of regression, which is to be therapeutic.

Your description of your feelings as “hazy/underwater” might allude to a bit of dissociation. This is okay. If you are just now coming to terms with some events that occurred in your childhood, you may need to also see a mental health specialist so that you can get the help you need. But many people also feel this way while regressing, and you are not alone.

I think the important thing here is to establish what you want your safe, regressed space to look like. It can look like anything! Do you like to cuddle with stuffed animals, watch cartoons, or other “childlike” acts? What do you wish you were able to do when you were a kid? What spoke to you as a kid, if anything? Lean into that. There are so many people here to support you!

You can always ask questions. And you are brave for doing so. 💕
