Me Possum Kiya and Icestatue all though a place to share our comfort items would be nice so here it is! Show them off!



This is my boo boo bear and my blankey! I've had boo boo bear since I was born. Both are pink, my favorite color, i love them and sleep with them everynight!!!

I don't have a way to show mine off but I have my real life kitty Tyger as a comfort item he sleeps at my feet. But I also have a stuffed bear, a stuffed rabbit and a body pillow. If none of them are in the right place I don't sleep right. The body pillow has to between my knees, the bear beneath my head and the rabbit cuddled in my arms.

I don't have a pic of it on my laptop, but I have one of my baby blankets that I still sleep with. c(: My boyfriend makes fun of me for it, but growing up, it was the only thing that I could cry into and just cuddle up to...one side has the soft, kinda fuzzy stuff on it, and I always touch it and for some reason it calms me down. Haha.

The1, Love this thread...
We have several comfort items.... at least one for each alter...
Of course there is Benedict:

T's Crystal that she sends with me when she's out of town:

Then there is my own real life comfort:

and there is Sir Nick (the monkey in my signature). Both are from T
And as I get pics of the others, I can share them, too =)

Hi All,

I will put mine up here soon...

My pictures of Poley Bear aren't good and I discovered I only have one photo of Robbie Bear and not a good one. When I can I'll put them up. Maybe along with a doggie and bunny that are pretty much always with the other two.

Thanks for getting us started, after our conversation, The1!

I don't really have a comfort item, and thinking I should acquire one! My doggy comes closest to being a comfort item, though a pup, and still trying to me.

My twin grandsons: when they were still infants in their cribs, I gave them two "pluffies," which are soft squishy Beanies. They, the twins, are 6 years old now, and continue to carry around the remnants of these Pluffies, thru many patchings and re-stuffings. All us grandparents have offered them new raplacements, but the originals can't be replaced!
My daughter, the twins' mother, had a similar comfort item, which was a silky stuffed blanket, that degenerated to a scrap by the time she finally let go of it, which she called "my silky thing."

I almost bought another stuffed animal today when I was at the dollar store. Where I live we have a store called Deals and it used to be a store where everything was a dollar but it isn't the case anymore and the animals were only $3 but I was on a mission and didn't give in as much as I was tempted I was a good girl and got my groceries instead.

I don't have pics - but I have some beautiful, egg-shaped marbles from T's office from early in therapy. I used to carry one around with me all the time in my pocket - now I keep them in my bag/on my dresser.

I have a beautiful, carved eagle zuni fetish from T's desk. He wants me to have it so i can remember to "soar above" the crap that is in my head sometimes.

I bought T two little fish festishes for his desk - because for a while our motto was "keep swimming" and I bought one for myself that lives in the pocket of my jeans. I reach in and feel it and it reminds me to keep swimming.

I have a pillow that I HAVE to cuddle up with when I sleep.

All of my comfort items have come along since starting T. I don't think I understood that I deserved comfort before that.

I too had a blanket for years - it was my baby blanket and I refused to part with it until a few years out of college. In fact, the only reason I finally put it away was because my cat had claimed it and was destroying it. It is yellow with satin yellow edging. I also still have my baby pillow - put that away at the same time. It even travelled the world with me for a year =)

I still can't find my Scardy Cat. =( I haven't seen her since my dissability evals...

[iamtwilight]

we have a ton of stuffed toys in the clothes closet... actually the clothes closet is sort of a comfort item in itself (you can hide there whenever you don't feel safe thankfully ours is big enough)! to point a few of my favourites, i like a pink & white poodle i got for myself (reminds me of the fact that i don't have to depend on anyone.) and a pink bunny with sunglasses. also, i miss my dog a lot.

my partner is beside me every night but sometimes i feel a little distant from him so the poodle helps. however, if he's away, i'll get a clean shirt of his from his closet and sleep with it.

and: MUSIC!

My PETS are my COMFORT ITEMS (probably why I have so many of them) - you can see pictures of them in my pet album.

Someone knew that I was going through a lot so they gave me a stuffed pink dog. I hold on to it when I feel scared and alone. I love it! I don't know what I would do without it!
