So I talked about this earlier on my Instagram so I thought that I would dive in a little bit deeper about it here. I got a lot of questions about the mental aspects of me, my BPD, traumas and my little space.
As most of you know But maybe not all of you know, I discovered my little self because of ✨ trauma ✨ (do the little star emojis make the word any less yucky? Probably not 😂😂) SO because of that I discovered ABDL and a whole ‘nother community ;so for that- I’m glad and grateful because — it’s helped me find validation within myself as well🥺🥹
ANYWAY- so yes! questions about mental health/coping! So as you guys know I always share just from experience so this is all basically me just …sharing!
I dont use my little space to /cope/ with BPD necessarily,-actual mental regression is common with BPD but that kinda lil space is some thing I can’t even control - and those moments of regression are usually emotional, sort of violent outbursts - daddy says it’s very much like a toddler having a tantrum—so not very soothing and cope-ie xP (I also go almost entirely nonverbal and if I’m calm enough to want to communicate I have a communication chart which if you guys want me to post a picture of it on here I totally can!)
my little space is coping for specific traumas and flashbacks ,cptsd. All dat jazzzz!!
I am always childlike and my adult baby self and lifestyle is different than my coping baby self (sorry if this is confusing, it kind of is for me too but I just live inside my head -you know bahaha)
so how do I cope/deal with mental illness if it’s not littlespace? SIGH -
- therapy, medication and a lot of self work .. specifically with BPD ;it doesn’t have a “pill”.. so it’s some trial and error medication and therapy’s (SIDE NOTE: also in the process of being analyzed for autism and potential other mental struggle buses Which the more I know and understand what’s going on in my head stays the more help I can *better* receive)
with that being said- indulging in my adult baby life just makes me happy in general and that’s how it really comes into play. Some people like video games..some people like diapers and toys!!^__^
also I would like to know that tons of babies/ABD L /littles don’t all have mental illness or traumatic past, stuff like that! So if you don’t have anything going on like that just know your little self and your little space is still totally valid! You don’t HAVE to have a reason for having a little space-
It could just be because you like it, and that is absolutely fine and accepted ❤️❤️
