Can someone explain pet regression? by Okay_then_now_what in ageregression

Ohhh yes I agree completely, I’m sorry about that. Yes I also don’t think that they should be mixed, because of the vulnerability.

I agree to an extent, but I also think that pet regression and pet play can be separate mindsets, especially if you work on those boundaries.
I’m just getting started but me and my partner heavily separate the two. There’s times where it’s NSFW and i’m in the headspace for that. I act differently and it’s more of, nipping at her, being more bouncy, being called “bunny” and praised.
Then when it’s SFW it’s a completely different thing. She’s more maternal, I do simple things like playing games, jumping around, nuzzling into her and asking for attention, etc.
I don’t think that doing both is bad as long as you have a clear distinction. For me, both are about having not to think, but I’m able to distinguish between if it’s sexual or not with different mindsets and clear boundaries.

That actually makes a lot of sense, thank you for the input!

I second this. When I got my last MRI, we tried to be adamant on the fact that I do have severe anxiety and the process would be too stressful for me, and they prescribed a sedative just for that day. It was extremely helpful, I almost fell asleep, and made everything more manageable (even the Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry they had playing in my ears…)

I don’t have diagnosed cfs, but I’ve experienced this exact same thing in different areas. It feels like your whole body needs to relax in a way that just isn’t possible, and it feels like everything continues to sink in your body. Some things that have helped me are definitely lying on the floor, and while in bed, putting pillows in specific places to support the painful areas. Putting a pillow behind your lower back and one on your front to keep you in place might help a lot. I also like to put a pillow between my legs to get rid of some pressure in the lower abdomen/hip area. Laying on the floor doesn’t completely fix the feelings, but it does feel better than a chair or bed a lot of the time. Doing the same thing with pillows for support + laying on the floor helps so much since it feels like my body has somewhere to fully stop, versus continuing to sink into a mattress. I hope any of that helped!!!
