It's called being an adult "baby" or something, there is a real name for the condition but that's all it is, it's not a life sentence like how most people treat they're illnesses. You said it yourself, you have phases.
This is a completely non-educated opinion, but here's what I think; you've found that that going back to your childhood is the only way to feel free of the current problems you have, not just that, but maybe you feel unwanted or unloved, and feeling like a child again might bring back those feelings. I don't think it's healthy for you, I think you should grow as an individual and not try to revert back to your younger self even though times are tough. I think you have growing to do and maybe when you revert back to that child like state it is almost a refusal or a denial to grow because it is painful. I'm not entirely sure, but I do think part of it is about avoidance, like I said though, completely uneducated opinion.
Some people also think it is about not being able to deal with past traumas but I don't see how reverting would change anything.
I hope you don't go down this road but you have my prayers.
There's a good documentary on youtube, just search for adult babies, I warn you though, some of it is not pretty. Some people revert back farther than you want to. Anyways, best wishes.
Is it normal that I act like a little child again?
