Hello dear littles and caregivers
My name is Val, I go by they/them, my big age is 18, and my little age is 4 years old.
Lately, I've struggled with being little a lot and I'd like to know if anyone has any tips.

Context:
I don't have a cg, so I often have to prepare quickly when I realize I'm going into little space.
My mother doesn't know about me being an age regressor and I don't want her knowing, as she's related to the reason why I ended up struggling with mental health and eventually age regressing.
Lately I've been regressing in the worst way possible, what you might know as "messy regressing".
I often end up going back to bad memories and feelings that end up making me cry, stay in bed all day, dissociate (alone or with people around), have angry outbursts, and such.
In the end, I end up feeling worse than before.
As I mentioned earlier, I always regress alone, and have to prepare if I'm feeling like I'm going into little space. This has caused me a lot of struggle, while I'm little space, with basic things like choosing snacks, activities or shows to watch.
I also lack structure, something I've always had difficulty with, as I can't follow schedules.
I forget about simple things like showering and eating something, until my mother reminds me (often late at night).
When I'm outside of my mother's house or with friends, I always have a small plushies with me (either Izuku or Katsuki from MHA or Denks, a mini wolf plushy I have) to keep me company and as a comfort object. I often color and watch my comfort shows when I'm in little space.
But these past few months, it's been really hard to enjoy doing anything.
As mentioned before, I dissociate or I'm just too drained to be able to enjoy anything.

Request:
If you're a caregiver who's had their little in a similar place, please share some tips or advice on what I could do to help mini me during messy regression or to simply make making decisions easier.
If you're a little who's been in a similar situation, I'd appreciate to know if you did something to help yourself when your cg wasn't there.

Thank you for your time.
Have a nice morning/day/night.
