I do :) I have a comfort bear and a comfort scarf. Both were gifts from when I was a child and I still have them and they continue to bring me great comfort in times of distress and sadness.
My bear stays in my room and I know she's always there when I need her. My scarf I carry round with me all through the year, when it's cold I wear it but when it's warmer I keep it in my bag but it's still comforting knowing it's on me.
Despite being over twenty years old it has aged well :>)
Thank you for sharing this. I still can give myself a hard time sometimes for using cuddly toys as comfort. I'm 53 years old. But they help me alot. Knowing others use them too is very reassuring and validating. X
Don’t be ashamed - I’m a 53 years old gay man and I have 40 teddy bears in my queen sized bed - my Paddington Bear may be an English teddy bear, but he’s found a loving Irish home - and he’s so handsome too
Hey thanks for replying. Never feel bad for enjoying something that makes you happy and feel comfortable. If you enjoy it then that's all that matters! :)
