Do you have a comfort object?

My lovely grey dressing gown. I don't know why, but I feel better with it on.

My comfort object is a book.

I have a whole household of comfort objects, including the quilt I always have to wrap around me in front of the computer. But NT's can have comfort objects, too. My mom has a big, bright-yellow fish pillow she named Tweety. My dad isn't too fond of the competition.

One for every possible situation. A few stuffed animals, favorite blankets, key-chain, maybe strange but my primary knife (I use it every day on the line, needs to be sharpened), cards from my parents with cute animals on them, and ...

Not sure if they'd count as a comfort object, but my computer, cigarettes and lighter always make me feel more relaxed...

Laptop, piano and a can of coke once in a while and of to heaven I go... If those don't count then no, I don't really have any.

Well, I guess I could say the hot tub at my apartment complex is my comfort item, but I don't own it.

I can't sleep without hugging one of my large, fluffy pillows against my chest, however.

These are my little friends that go everywhere with me, and at home, I have a bunch of plushies on my bed.

My comfort object would have to be not an object at all but imaginary friends, my cats, and... OH my stuffed rabbit plush my mom gave me when we moved in November. My birthday was coming up, we were moving, and we found out my childhood favorite, precious, comfort toy "lamby" was eaten away by rats. I was so upset. So my mom gave me HER childhood toy. He's slighltly over 50 years old and is a blue top and white bottom rabbit that is very old-you can tell just by looking at him. But when I'm sad I hold him and cry. His name according to my mom is "Mr. Rabbit."

I have three cats. And I have a plushy lion cub that has been with me since I was four or so.

Edit> I don't consider my cats 'objects', so that leaves my teddy-lion.

I used to do this all the time. I'd always have a favorite hat, scarf, gloves, or whatever. I stopped doing it without really noticing.

I don't have objects, I have beings. I prefer my wife, but since I can't cling to her anymore, I have my dogs and cats. a couple of the dogs and one of the cats are very affectionate.


when away from home, I have "tics or behaviors. I used to flick my hands rapidly, but too many people commented on it so now I touch the tips of my fingers with my thumbs (same hand), or wring m hands or when sitting, wiggle my foot or bounce my knees. I try to keep to the fingers since this is less noticeable overall.
