Feeling like a child person

Brightspark

Does anyone else ever feel differently, like as in a person? At times I feel like I'm a young girl maybe like 12-13 years old. I guess it's a reaction to anxiety and my way of escaping stressful times? 

When this happens I feel so different. My thoughts change, how I feel changes. In the past I've even spoken to child line which I feel bad about doing.

I'm not sure what to do about this. I've thought of talking to a doctor or therapist but it's a bit awkward. Don't really know how to bring it up and don't want them thinking I've got mental problems.

  • I come across this a lot with individuals, psychologically it’s completely normal. For example I know an individual who’s 26 but has a mind of a 14 year old, there’s nothing wrong with that because it’s the system of the spectrum in the brain works and with AS there a many different definitions of the spectrum but never think of it as a bad thing nor a mental problem. All it takes is developments and improvements of how to control it when you get to that stage, it can easily be countered but with time and patience.
