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 :>)
I have a soft lamb teddy which I got for my 6th birthday, and she's in my bed, beside my pillow every night since that birthday. I can't sleep without her and if I sleep in a different house then she has to be with me, otherwise I don't sleep. If I've got something big happening like a mental health appointment then I take my little lamb with me. She brings me a lot of comfort.
I've got an amethyst necklace as well which I wear every day. Ordinarily I don't really like jewellery, or makeup, but, this necklace was a gift from my mum and it brings me a lot of comfort wearing it.
