He's cute! I like that he has a blue tummy (and.. back projections, not sure what they're called). Interesting that he makes seasonal appearances. Sounds like your not sleeping had a seasonal start too. Do your hypo/manias tend to run seasonally? It's quite common for them to do so.

I asked if maybe he was a plushie because I've got a teddy bear that I find comfort in because he always listens and is understanding. He knows more than anyone, because I tell him things without having to censor or feel too exposed. He will "say" nice things when the world is mean. I know he's not "real" in that sense (yes, it's me talking/thinking), but I don't care because he gives me comfort. The rougher things are going, the more I interact. I'm glad your purple dragon friend makes you smile and laugh.
