Hi um I don't know where else to share this because I'm scared of my mutuals/friends not being super receptive because it may be too much for them, but I'm really emotional because I think I went into littlespace (involuntary age regression) for the first time today? Something occurred, and I think my environment played a part, and next thing I know is my mind went quiet (which I've never experienced), the rest of the room around me faded, and I was just really happy and giddy about something 'childlike'. When my head started getting loud again, I caught myself chewing/sucking on my bottom lip, playing idly with the childlike thing, and stimming my feet back and forth against the carpet. I hope you don't mind me sharing with you, it's just I needed to let it out, and you're the only person I've seen remotely mention anything about it on my timeline. You don't even have to reply, I just needed somewhere to talk about it because I feel like I'm going to cry, confused on how I feel about it.
anon, i deeply deeply value you've decided to share this experience here through my rs ♥️ i wish i could help you understand your situation a little better, but as i've mentioned i unfortunately have no similar experience, i'm sure some of the sweet anons who have talked here about their experiences with littlespace before will reach out and help you navigate what you've possibly experienced!! i just hope i can say that there is NO place for judgement here and you shouldn't have to feel scared about sharing this with your friends or mutuals, or you shouldn't feel like being "a little too much", i think allowing yourself to access this headspace can help achieve emotional stability and just overall clear your head when your body decides to tell you for whatever reason it might be a good time to take a step back and just allow yourself to feel and not think. i'm sure it must have been a very vulnerable experience and i'm sorry there wasn't anyone who would help you come out of it, just know you've done nothing wrong and it's okay to be confused about what happened, but please don't be harsh on yourself about it, you're definitely not alone in this 🫶
