My little sister does this too, it isn't a bad thing. It doesn't seem to be affecting her too much.

Now, I might be commenting a fair bit here...but, don't be embarrassed by that...aha...To be awkwardly honest here...I still have my childhood penguin plushie... I've always kept them close by me when I'm asleep.
There's nothing to be ashamed of here.
Yea...it sounds weird for an 18 year old (that being me) to do that....But hey- Who says we have to extremely mature for our age. It's good to be a little childish, and if that's what calms ya. Then hey. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Aww, I still sleep with my baby blanket and I’m 14

Aha...Now who says we need to stop doing that, huh?

I sleep with my penguin plushie too, its one of those ones that go in the microwave and get all warm which comforted me when I was younger

Ah...
I'll show ya an anthro version of the plushie of mine. The first one is how they looed when I got them as a kid on a Farmer's Market. The second is how they look now.
Tbh they look more chubbier irl. Since my art of them is just an antrho version of them.
The wing is slowly falling apart...
But...to be fair...Its sometimes nice to have a plushie by ya. You feel less alone.

Love it!

Aha...I'm glad ya like my art of them.

No need to be embarrassed! I do the same thing!

thank you :)

I named mine. Did you

F**k yeah. His name is Connor

My Teddy’s name is snowball

You should be concerned about having sleep issues, however needing a plush isn't an issue. Everyone has their own coping methods, and it isn't shameful to need one.

Also, it's always alright for and object to hold significant value to you, no matter how strange or "childish" it may be.

👍👍

its not a bad thing! i cant even sleep in my own room without having the lights on constantly and the tv playing loudly.

I don't even recognise waking up loads in the night as a problem, despite it being one, because I have become used to it

No, it’s not a concern

It shouldn’t be a problem as long as it doesn’t effect how you function throughout the day I think. If it gets to where anything happening to it causes emotional overload, you might ask your parents to let you see someone about it.

It does cause emotional overload. I literally break down and shame myself every time it happens 😭

Have you considered seeing someone about it?

Yeah but it's hard to find anyone

Why?

Idk

I feel overwhelming guilt about it throughout the day and i have since I was young

I still sleep with my baby blanket and I’m 14. I don’t think it’s a problem. The chronic nightmares, however, you should see someone about

Ok

Same but I'm almost 17 so

I do this too. I've been doing it as long as I can remember

Me who has sentimental attachment to a random-ass pillow I have-

Lol same

Same
