![]() I feel embarrassed of myself and I can't have any real relationships because of it. And it really doesn't help me feel like I can depend on myself and that I'm an adult, with the fact that I react like a child and basically am always searching for someone stronger to shield me from the big scary world. I try to "cut out" any unnecessary stressors in my life, but it's just never enough. I try to pat myself on the back for doing so much and so good (I don't feel I do good, but I try to be nicer to myself). So try to be an adult and take care of myself and all the stressful things. I thought maybe it's because I need to take better care of myself (like re-parent), or because I put too many expectations on myself (yet that I can't make sense of, since if I quit those responsibilities I wouldn't be an adult). It has happened too many times, that someone came to me with a concerned and kind look on their face, asking if I was ok (I have a resting sad face) and I almost started bawling my eyes out instantly, even when I was actually happy and content before they asked me. It's all just a escape daydream, but when I encounter anyone with a caring and responsible parent/authority like vibe, it's like I have to fight for my life not to just throw myself in their arms and break down. And what always happens is that I wish I was just a small child again and someone else would take care of it all, care for me and protect me from the world. I (f 23) have noticed that I often feel really stressed and under a lot of pressure.

I felt like my needs are that of a child AND an adult.This is a public forum with no expectation of confidentiality. I found mine by looking for one that does sand play therapy because they help children. I would seriously recommend finding a therapist who focuses on trauma/EMDR and possibly also sees children. Maybe explain the times when you regress and how your regression makes you feel. She also asked me what age I felt like I am during the regression so we could kind of work out what trauma makes me feel this way.īut this was also after us figuring out that I was regressing when I was scared and then regressing when I was happy and felt safe. She was super supportive and just made sure that I wasn’t losing time and felt like SillyBug is still in control. My big side is still there and in control but is letting my little side play for a little while while big me rests. When I spoke to my therapist about it, I told her that I was still me but I just feel small.
