Introduce your stuffed animals

[Skywatcher]

I would like to share the names and details, but am too afraid. So, basically I have a bear that I majorly went through my teen years with. Started extra fluffy. Now, not even a nose, so much worn off from all of the tears and cuddles. My other animal is a tiger. He gives me strength, with the plus of being really soft. My husband gave him to me.

I have two new introductions!
Thanks to a kind friend who sent them to me as part of a care package this week.

Carson (marshmallow cat)
He came with the name Carson. At first I wondered if I should keep the name, but then I looked at him and thought if ever there has been a cat that has felt happy about being named Carson, it's this guy.

He is soft and squishy, and doubles as a comfy pillow.
He has joined Mr Bear in my nightmare support-team, and both will accompany me to the hospital (and home after) as my post-op recovery-team.

Hedwig (little bird)
Will join me out at university as a grounding object.

She's small enough to fit in my hand and help me to stay grounded, without drawing attention to myself.

This is Punchy, who has been helping me fall asleep lately. First he belonged to my nephew years ago, then he belonged to my son, who is now too old for stuffed animals, he says. I rescued Punchy from the donation pile. He's quite bulky, so it gives me something nice and large to hug in bed.

when this thread started going I bought this little guy. I haven't had him too long and don't have a name for him yet. There are times when I have been struggling with depression or whatever and just holding him and squeezing now and then made me feel better. Sometimes I sleep with him.

Since I posted my "Bear Bear" in this thread, I have been sleeping with him too. I have no qualms about it. If it helps, and it does, it is good!

I have 2 stuffed animals. One is a bobcat and one is a baby horse. They are nice to have when I’m alone and the baby horse is helpful-it feels really soft- comes to T but stays in the purse for the time being.

"Bear Bear" is really soft too, and he can fit in my purse. Maybe I could bring him to my next T appointment too. I have a new T soon, UGH!

I hope this new one works out! You have lots of motivation- always a plus!

Thanks, I need all the positivity I can get!

These are the only two I've kept for myself. They are both original, vintage dolls. Ronald was a gift given to store managers who had no accidents for the previous quarter. Alf has been with me since I was a teen. He has frequent flyer miles like mad.

I don't have any but I did have a stuffed stingray when I was a good that was awesome.

I have a lion named Anduin. He goes with me everywhere- work, the doc's office, road trips, downstairs to watch tv. I bought him a tux to wear to my wedding and we had a dance. My prior t suggested I get him because I was having panic attacks at work. Now I just don't know what I would do without my little dude.
