Wow. I actually kind of liked the regression feeling. It was a nice contrast to my bottled-up, emotionally flat adult self.
Here's some cheap analysis-- are you trying to get mom's love by being what she wants? Young? You've probably already figured that out. It must feel much safer to be what she wants.
I think I feel safer being unhappy, because somehow being happy would threaten my mom and get me kicked out of the nest. Doesn't seem to do much good to have that insight though.
I hope you're on your way to sleep by now.
