I still sleep with my baby blanket at 19.

Yeah, I admit it. Every time I have a hard day or a particularly rough depressive episode, I turn to my baby blanket and snuggle into it. It just makes me feel better. Better than any drug or alcohol, honestly.

    My original issued Woobie is older than you and I still sleep with it everyday. 1988 til now, it’s a little thread bare, but after this many years and many different countries/deployments, I can’t stand to not have it.

    I still sleep with my childhood blanket and I’m in my late 30’s. It’s still the coziest blanket I own and it’s not full of holes or anything so why not 😊

    I kept using my childhood teddy bear for a very, very long time. It wasn’t until my mid-twenties that I really got used to not using him anymore, because he was starting to fall apart. I just couldn’t do that to Teddy 😉

    (You get used to these things, and they give you a sense of security. I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.)

    That’s quite nice. I wish I still had my childhood blanket. You should absolutely keep cherishing it and don’t let anyone make you get rid of it.
