Sometimes I am depressed, partly from feeling that I have grown older faster than I was ready to. Mom said that I've "always been behind" - in the ages I wanted to be. Example: When I was 13, she said I wanted to be 10, and when I was in college, I wanted to look like a high schooler, etc. I cope by engaging in age-regressing activities. I have a workbook intended for 2nd graders, which I write in with my non-writing hand, and a Korean workbook intended for kids somewhere in early grade school. Moreover, this needing these particular coping methods is also why I'm on DD. Lately, one trusted fellow told me I appeared to be in my 30s (early 30s-ish) while I'm still in my 20s. Another estimated my age to be right where it was. I'm clearly not trying hard enough to look younger than I am. Moreover, having deficits in social and sometimes emotional skills (particularly in high-stress circumstances), if I can't act as old as I look, I'd much rather look as old as I act. I would settle on looking 17-18 again. However, I have seen 12-year-olds who measured 6'4" tall, and I'm 6' flat with shoes on. I wonder how much harder it would be to look 12 years old again as opposed to 17-18? I know some steps already: Take as many antioxidants as I would if my life depended on it! (As in, pretend my body has a digestive defect that ONLY allows me to eat & drink (maybe even sleep) antioxidants for my daily sustenance, nothing else.) Drink lots and lots of water. Keep a regular exercising regimen. Do not stay in the sun too long without sunblock. They help, but would only do so much in keeping me looking younger. I need more steps, and on a reasonable college student's budget. If Cher, Joan Rivers and other world-renowned celebrities can take 25-30+ years off of their looks, I could, in theory, take 10-15 off, but I don't have a celebrity's budget, so I need some down-to-earth methods to do so.
