Regression, childhood

[Kieran]

I don't know if any of you can shed some light on this, but I hope you can provide some advice, feedback, support, etc. Anything.

I'm an adult in my mid-20s.

As a child, I experienced S.A (s. abuse) and physical/emotional abuse. Several months ago, I experienced something similar.

Ever since then, it's like my mind has been reverting back to the child version of myself.

I begin to have trouble speaking (it's like I don't even understand some of the words I commonly would know), I have difficulty walking (I used to as a child, be disabled/use a wheelchair) and I literally feel like that scared child.

This is new to me, and to be honest, very irritating, annoying, angering, etc. It's like I'm "losing knowledge", in a sense, I was an adult and now I'm becoming younger and younger, more frightened, acting like a kid; difficulty talking, understanding, walking and being a functional adult, I even think differently, I notice.

There are moments like now, where I have short periods of snapping out of it, but it's becoming more frequently lately.

Have you guys experienced something similar? What would this be? Anything is super appreciated.

Have you run this by your T? Body memories spring to mind, but also potentially a dissociative disorder...

how long have you been in the state that you have forgotten how to talk; walk and the like?

This sounds similar to a dissociative disorder. Maybe talk with your therapist about it.
