Trauma and Regressing

[TeddyBearGirl]

I recently went through a very traumatic event. Since then I can’t properly regress like I used such as me choosing to regress to deal with the stress. Which considering everything I’ve been through would really be nice. I don’t feel as if I deserve to be babied or enjoy myself at all. But I have been crying a lot and it’s strange because I’ll go into these huge crying fits for extend periods and just be inconsolable , crying until I almost make myself sick. And for some reason I find myself just continuously whining ‘mommy’ over and over again during these fits. I don’t have a caregiver so I don’t know if I’m just regressing in a way and wanting the comfort a mother would bring when you’re a child. But it’s not therapeutic at all and it hurts

It may take some time before you can emotionally get back to where you were. I've been grieving the death of my wife for five years and each year things get a little better. Each year I learn something about myself and find ways to get around the grief, the sadness and depression. I also see a psychologist. There aren't always solutions that you just do this one thing and everything improves. What I do find however is that talking about it face to face with another human being does help, and you get feedback.

I find it a lot harder to regress after a traumatic time, just do smaller steps j find, comforting myself normally with a soft blanket helps and then it normally progressss over days etc
