Found Outside Support!!

Hey guys, long time no post! I've been quite depressed and I'm going to rehab in a week or two, for quite a while. (don't ask, I'll blog about it)

HOWEVER!

I was crying over the phone with my cousin about how my regression and being a little might affect my stay in the program. Turns out his fiance' is a LITTLE! She stayed on the phone with me for two hours trying to talk me through my concerns and how I might be able to ask for help from them once I get there.

I've never been happier in my life; to know that someone in my "real life" knows how I feel and actually IS A LITTLE, TOO!! It's an amazing feeling. I've never felt so accepting of myself before; to know I'm not alone. (and the fact that she's so close to me and almost family!!!)

Has anyone else encountered friends/family in "real life" that happen to share your same interests? Has anyone found someone as a support, even a therapist maybe? I'd love to hear some success support stories.

No, but it seems this is a really small world, getting smaller. //then again I've never asked/told any one since I was younger than 10 so I wouldn't know.

My mom sent me to a psychiatrist at a large residential mental facility when I was in college. I didn't stay there, but had sessions with my shrink. He was sort of Meh regarding the diapers and regression. I was there for more than just diapers. My mom found gay porn when she searched my room, along with the diapers. I had also tried to commit suicide on several occasions. I also had a psychotic break, so she probably did the right thing. The problem was that she couldn't afford to keep sending me, and I didn't want to go, so I talked her out of my going after I had seen him several times.

That was back in 1970 and things have changed a lot, so I wouldn't feel hesitant to talk about diapers and regression. I find it fascinating that there are many shrinks who still know very little about the AB/DL world. Your goal will be to feel better, both about yourself and the world around you. Good luck and keep us posted when you get out. Remember, we're a support group and you have friends here, including me.
