I say go for it!! If it helps, then it helps.

My one T, once upon a time, gave me a GIANT stuffed teddy bear. She said that since I have internal anger issues, that if I got something that was soft that I could punch - that it would be useful.

... didn't quite work, Cuddles is quite too cute to punch when I'm mad.

But Cuddles DOES make a lovely sleeping companion and something to hug.

I'm almost tempted to bring in a stuffed animal into my pdoc appt this upcoming week... I think it might help.
