I personally think that it is very nice that you found a way to cope with the very unfortunate and traumatic experience you went through in high school. However, I feel like to a certain extent they maybe hold you back from living your life to its full potential. Because like you said, you are in a committed relationship now and to me it seems like they have become more and more of a crutch for you to lean on when you could maybe work towards trying to talk to and confide in your boyfriend (more than you already do) or even your family. Obviously I am no expert that is simply my insight into the matter. I appreciate and respect you being willing to discuss what happened. Thank you. 2018-02-03T04:49:15Z Comment by Azzurae Lynn I actually have a little stuffed puppy that my dad gave me when I was five. I don't sleep with it but I'd never throw it away. 2017-10-27T14:48:18Z Comment by Riinathrate Hun'tlar I have an addiction of my own to my stuffed animals. I have about 500 now, I surround myself with them and use them to cope with my chronic pain I've had since I was 9. The stuffed animals make me feel like I still have the childhood I missed from being in and out of hospitals, every time I go to the hospital now I try and get myself a new stuffie. I have names for all of them, and I used to recite a prayer when I was younger to them. I have a friend in another country I sent one of my babies to, it was a big thing for me and it showed all the trust I have in him. 2017-10-23T14:15:50Z Comment by Kaz This all seemed like a made up story just to get an interview but thats just me 2017-10-21T04:58:10Z Comment by Alexis Victoria honestly this reminds me so much of me when I was little I had so many stuffed animals and they all had names and backstories. I can actually relate to her a lot saying that she feels a maternal type Instinct towards them. She sounds like a really nice girl I don't think that this is too weird honestly 2017-10-20T16:43:38Z Comment by Ray Tang good question// 2017-10-20T01:38:35Z Comment by Mandlbrt anthropomorphizing, more like. 2017-10-20T01:23:00Z Comment by kennygigglez Love the podcast!
