Comfort items

[Deleted member 29920]

I sometimes have a favourite little childhood storybook in my bag with me or a little teddy..just knowing they're in my bag is helpful. Also sometimes wear a favourite necklace, it's Egyptian style and that helps me feel strong because I imagine the Egyptian gods and goddesses protecting me..

@SeedMan - glad to have inspired you! :-)

Yeah, it's a lot and mostly I don't actually use them but it does seem to help knowing they are there if I need them.

Just wanted to thank everyone. I went yesterday for the first time and did bring one. I thought I was being a little silly but I'm glad I had it. I needed it.

Good for you! I'm glad you got through the "Oh, I'm being silly" trap and had your comfort item when you needed it. Victory in a couple of realms! :-)

Hell, @blueangel371115 , I'm literally over thirty and bringing a stuffed animal on really bad days. We ALL feel at least a little silly, don't feel alone there!! ;) But my T says give yourself mercy to WHY it calms you. My childhood got stunted from what happened and sometimes that little girl still wants her stuffed animal. So I let her have it. <3

Hey, we can all say we have our low-maintenance service animals. All they need is periodic fluffing and a wipe down with a damp sponge and they're good to go. :-)

@SeedMan- haha!
Indeed. My T doesn't allow my dog. She and I both having PTSD, hell, she would probably only allow it if she charged double! :laugh::laugh:

Green tea matcha is the best drink for me. Makes me feel renewed. :)
