new to this

i’ve always known about dd/lg and dd/lb stuff and i usually steered clear away from it because the idea made me uncomfortable. but i found myself stumbling across more age regression stuff and the non-sexual part of that sort of thing. i’m trans and came from an emotionally neglectful and abusive household. pairing that with being on the spectrum, i find myself mourning over the childhood i never got.

 

now that i’m older and have to deal with my own trauma, the idea of regression felt like a saving grace. i’d be able to escape the harsh reality of being a survivor dealing with ptsd and other mental illness and experience a childhood of my choosing. hopefully one with love and comfort. one where i’d be cared for.

 

i’m still extremely new to all of this and don’t really get certain terminology and have already dangerously regressed while in a bad spot emotionally and it has triggered a huge bout if panic and manic depression. but i am still incredibly interested in learning more and possibly trying again with more learning.

 

i tried talking to friends about it but i couldn’t help but feel incredibly judged and shamed for dealing with my trauma in a seemingly innocent way. not being able to talk about it has probably been the worst part of it all, so that’s what brought me here. even if no one interacts with me, i got to vent.

Hi,

Good for you that you have found something that can help you deal with the trauma you faced when you were younger. If you are not hurting yourself or anyone else and are able to function as an adult and handle any responsibilities that you have then you are allready dealing with your trauma very well. I have found that the little that have been under my care have had trauma of what sort or another and went into "little space" to help them deal with it. First and foremost recognizing that you were in a bad place as you mentioned above when you regressed is extremely important especially if you were along when this occurred. I would caution against regressing if you can until you are with a Daddy/Mommy/Caregiver as it can be a dangerous and vulnerable place to be in if you have trauma that you have not come to grips with. 

You will be judged by those that do not understand what the lifestyle is and you can't really blame them as they are ignorant to what the lifestyle is. 

Have you sought professional therapy to help you at all? I wish you the best and remember to be safe and be sure you are in the right frame of mind prior to regressing, as you do it more the more comfortable you will become in little space. I hope you find someone that cherishes you and guides you in your journey to finding the balance that you seek.

Hello!

 

I, too, am on the spectrum. I think that regressing into a 3 year old really helps me with this. DD/LG is by definition a kink. However, I feel that it's totally okay that there are those of us who don't take part in the sexual part of regressing. I know I don't. So, I'm glad you feel like there's a space for you here. Everyone's path is different.

 

People who don't understand will definitely judge you, because people fear what they don't understand. Choosing to come here was definitely a good idea. You'll find people who understand where you're at and can help you with any questions you might have.

 

Feel free to PM me and we can talk, if you'd like. I've been doing this for a 5+ years now (though I feel like I've been little all my life). I'd be happy to try and answer any questions you may have. If nothing else, ask them here in the forum and I'm sure you'll get TONS of great feedback. A lot of great people here.

 

Best Wishes!
