I am a grown woman and I still need my childhood stuffed animals to fall asleep. I have an anxiety disorder and the stuffed animals help me. You?

My dog and seal

My bunny

I totally sleepy with a stuffed rabbit (my wife and our cat are there too, I suppose). It wasn't from my childhood cause I actually really didn't have many growing up. I do however still have the soft rubber bear that I had as an infant that squeaks when you push on the tummy. My dad got tired of it so he took the squeak part of it out, but apparently I was so devastated about it that he put it back in.

Pictured below: my squeaky bear from when I was a baby (yes our sons room is Mario themed lol) and my stuffed rabbit who shares in my love for peanut butter m&ms (forgive the messy desk).

[Asker]

I absolutely love this. 😍

My son stole my puppy for a couple years. It helped him sleep. Mother’s love.

Our daughter on more than one occasion has asked to borrow the bunny so she could introduce it to all of her stuffed animals.

Sometimes she wants to use it to help her fall asleep too. It's fine as long I dont have to share the bed with her too. She tosses and turns and flops around everywhere. Sometimes even getting to where she starts normally and then somehow ends up laying horizontal across our pillows.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Aww ty for MHO!

[Asker]

Thank you for your kind words

[karaspara]

I sleep with a winnie the pooh i've had since I was a newborn

[ChrisMaster69]

@karaspara has he got a hard nose….

[Asker]

@karaspara 🥰🥰🥰 I have had bunny since I was born too.

@chrismaster69 your mind is in the gutter huh?

[ChrisMaster69]

@ Pretty Pink Anon, it floated down the gutter, in to the drain years ago

I am a grown-up man, heterosexual, and so often, women I have dated, have failed, EPICALLY!!
I don't care, actually, as I have a lot of soft, cuddly stuffed bears, penguins, and even some dinosaurs, that help me sleep AMAZINGLY well, not even thinking about the ding-bat I broke up with!!!
Who ever said that there is something "wrong" with ADULTS, just loving having a snuggle bear, or cuddle friend, when they sleep, between relationships, or just because they like it, and feel comfortable with these?
If someone has an issue, say why?
I think if the Taliban fighters had soft, cuddly teddy bears, maybe they wouldn't be such ASSHOLES!!

[Asker]

Thank you. Beautifully said. 🥰

[Kaneki05]

Does that change if your with someone? like cuddling them also helps your anxiety?
Not that it should bother anyone if you have to still sleep with them, it's cute. Also i still have my stitch and other's granted i don't use them to get to sleep but still have them if i wanted too.

[Sheyhoney]

I do too but they just give me comfort and they’re soft and comfy to hug while I sleep 🥰

[Asker]

Exactly! 🥰🥰🥰

[groupsexlove]

It doesn't matter much to me. I can put you to sleep if you want. But it's too tired for me to tell you to sleep🤭

[Asker]

Dude. I could be your mother. I have been having sex longer than you have been alive.

[groupsexlove]

Experience is important, grief is not. Also how old are you?

[Asker]

I am 38

[groupsexlove]

You certainly can't be my mother. Are you married?

[Asker]

I certainly can. I started having sex over 20 years ago. Do the math

Yes. I am married. To the same guy I lost my virginity to 20 years ago.

[groupsexlove]

Hmm okay Have you had group sex with your partner?

[Asker]

Nooo. Just him. Mr. groupsexlove child sir

[groupsexlove]

OK. how many children do you have?

[Asker]

2 children

[groupsexlove]

what is their age?

[Asker]

Young…they are still little…

Why the 3rd degree?

[groupsexlove]

we don't have any sincerity because of that. what are your body measurements?

[Asker]

What the fuck? Did you just accuse me of being insincere?

[groupsexlove]

No, we're only talking about things that everyone can read. We can talk more specifically. but you probably say no 😑

[Asker]

Ok young 18 year old child, sir. I bid you farewell.

[groupsexlove]

I am sad. Why don't you talk to me privately?

[Asker]

Because you are a child and I am married.

[groupsexlove]

Okay, but I didn't tell you to talk about sex. we can be normal friends

[groupsexlove]

Okay, you know, I'm not insisting anymore.

[Asker]

Your user name is groupsexlove my dear. Lol. I wish you well.

[groupsexlove]

I can have group sex with any woman I want but you weren't one of these women

[groupsexlove]

It's back to the same conversation, anyway, you don't want to talk. good day

[Cherry234]

That's really cute. That's not the case with me but if that's what helps you to fall asleep and it quells your anxiety then keep doing what you're doing

[Anonymous]

Girl, if I didn't share a bed with my dog I would sooooo sleep with stuffed animals (in fact sometimes she brings her toys to bed).

[Asker]

That is really sweet!

[Opinion Owner]

When Keiko (the Orca who played Free Willy) was in a tank getting ready to release him in the wild, every night he would gather all of his toys in the corner in which he slept.

[Asker]

That is so adorable! Animals are amazing.

[Wise4myage]

Hey, if it helps you sleep, than I see nothing wrong with this.

[Asker]

Thank you. :)

[Wise4myage]

You're welcome.

[Anonymous]

You are not alone.
I am in the same boat as you.
I have a body pillow providing me with the same effect.
You and I are not weird.

[Asker]

I actually have a body pillow too lol

[Opinion Owner]

That's nice ☺
Ahhh. What loneliness can do. There is probably no limit to the extend of how it changes us.

[Asker]

Yeah. I am married but I prefer to sleep holding inanimate objects.

[Opinion Owner]

Had the same thing with a girl. Got used to my inanimate bed companion. Although I love sharing my bed with a real and breathing woman way more 💕

[jeffryrobertbabb]

I had a cuddly toy when I was young which my parents stole, now I hug my pillow

[Asker]

I am sorry to hear that

[msc545]

My cat Angel sleeps next to me every night and soothes me.

[Asker]

I used to sleep with my cat when I was a kid too. He slept in the bend of my knees.

[msc545]

Angel sleeps there sometimes, but more often on the pillow next to my face...

[Asker]

Kitties like the warmth of your head

[Joshua0213]

Thats kinda cute tbh, my girlfriend does the same thing

[Asker]

I love that :)

[Kyle-Jackson]

Nothin wrong with that, Its cute tbh, Get a mant to replace that stuffed animal sweetcheeks and it will help ya

[Anonymous]

I still need my Teddy bear to fall asleep. It's very calming

[Asker]

Really? I love that.

[Opinion Owner]

Probably some kinda deeper psychological issue but I'm a happy guy so who cares.

[Asker]

Better than sleeping pills!

[Opinion Owner]

Haha. I have tried sleeping pills before and they do work well

[Asker]

Same! But stuffed animals seems healthier

[Anonymous]

Maybe that’s what I should do to sleep better since I haven’t been with a woman in five years sleeping in the bed

[Anonymous]

My Kindle. Without means a long, sleepless night. With, Dead to the world after a page and a half.

[MM5578]

It’s kinda cute, actually.

[Asker]

Thank you. 🥰

[Hathor]

Protecting ones mental health is important

[exitseven]

No, I never had stuffed animals.

[OnTheLevel]

If that helps you, go for it.

[RasberrySlushPuppy]

Youve got a stain on your bedsheets 👁️👄👁️

[Asker]

Well aren’t you observant

[IncognitoBandito]

Pretty adorable

[Asker]

Thank you. I appreciate that. :)

[keirl]

Whatever helps
