Adults Do You Have A Security Blanket?

I think everyone has a security blanket, even people can be security blankets. My ex used to be this for me, and it's crazy because over the last year, he just changed, and that hurt. Everytime I had a problem, I would turn to him and he would care to even try to make it better, and now whenever life challenges me, I find him not there at all. Suppose that's why we're apart. But for him, when life goes wrong, it's funny how I'm the first person he comes running to. And as long as it's bad I'm always there, but when things get good, it's adios to me. But anyhoo! For me, my security blanket is awkwardly enough writing. I love to write, and I have a journal, I've had many over the years. Wrote for as long as I can remember, and I just use that as my release. It's kinda nice how you can make everything perfect on paper, make it not seem so messy for that brief minute. And the cool thing about writing, might make me sound crazy, but I can talk to myself, keep the things I don't want to share with myself, but at the same time get it all out by just writing it down. And if I choose to share it later, I can just pull out what I wrote, and not worry about the trouble of finding out how to put it into words. Crazy I know!

Hello dear wolfie. I don't have such a security blanket. When I feel so let down, one of my favorite places to go is the nice and tranquil and beautiful pool outside the town. I will ride all the way there to make me feel better at such a good place. Maybe this can be seen as my security blanket as I don't have others. Or I would like to sleep in my blanket without thinking anything about it. The better I fall asleep, the better because the trouble won't bother me when I am asleep...

I'm lucky enough to have a partner and three daughters who are there when I need them. There's still 'Growler', my teddy and 'Topsy' my black doll who I've had all my life and they still listen when the world is too much and I don't want an answer. We all need someone or something to tell our troubles to.

My husband is my security blanket. When he is not in bed with me at night (most nights) I have a hard time falling asleep. Someday I hope we will work the same schedule.

Last year, I bought a large white tiger doll to help me relax. I named him Luigi. When I'm stressed, I just pet him or give him a hug. I took a picture of Luigi with some of my other

Hi wolfie! I am so happy to hear that you have Toby to console you! I think that everyone needs someone or something that they can count on to be there for them no matter what! Right now I have my beautiful baby Star! He is my sweetest black kitty who is now 5 years old and loves me so much! He is always there for me no matter what! He loves to be near me every minute he can be! He is such a loverboy cat! He has to be touching me all the time! My boyfriend doesn't understand our relationship and I don't give a crap! Star is the love of my life no matter what! He is the most sweetest cat I have ever had and I have had quite a few! He just loves me unconditionally! And I love him more than anyone or anything!

My security blanket is my wife for sure.She is so understanding that she never said a wrong word at a wrong time.She was a great support to me in my successes and failures.I wouldn't be leading a peaceful successful life without the security blanket I find in her.She has given me the boldness that I can confide anything to her.God has been kind to me in many ways and this is something special. And please say hi to Toby.I am beginning to like him.

I never had security blanket in my life. Right now I have 3 security fur creatures as my security and they all sleep with me... It is hard to fall asleep without my cat on my chest and dogs at my legs.... HUGS

I report only the good but not the bad. So, whenever I get upset, I don't want to talk about it with people who will worry more than myself. Sure, if I don't let the bad mood out, it will not be good to my health! Most of the time, all I have to do is eating some Mcdonald's. Then, all my worries will go. If things really ever get bad,I will climb higher and higher. In modern cities there are high-rise buildings everywhere as you know. Don't worry, I won't jump out of the building anyway. It is just that looking out through the window, I will feel I am so high and excited. Also, I like to walk on the overpass, the city is just so small in my sight at the time. What's more, the cats like me so much. A cat guy just licked me. I will wash my legs clean later. I like cats but the cat might had eat some mouse and then licked me. All are past and gone! For truly great mind,look at yourself.

Hi Wolfie,i do not have a teddy bear or anything. I think, i can say that my security blanket is my pillow which i also embrace when i go to sleep, i don't feel comfortable when i do not have it beside me. I just hold it tight and cry myself to sleep.Being a single parent for 16 yrs.,i have learned to deal with everything that come my way all by myself.

I would have to admit that my security blanket are my sunglasses. I wear my sunglasses more than 90% of the time. It's true that my eyes are extremely sensitive to light. I even wear my sunglasses inside if it's during the day. My eyes are extremely sensitive to light. BUT, I do take them off around 4pm when I'm inside, but, if I'm outside I have to wait until 6pm because it's still too bright for me. I just love my sunglasses. If my sunglasses ever broke I would literally be in Hell because my eyes are EXTREMELY sensitive to light. Gee, do you understand by now that my eyes are EXTREMELY sensitive to light? LOL! I hope I've made my point clear! LOL! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

No. I never had one as a child nor was I attached to any stuffed animal. I was a cold and callous kid and didn't like fuzzy things. I was around real animals a lot so that probably played into it. I had all kinds of things from toads to turtles. My parents backyard is like a pet cemetery. Whenever I was angry or sad I played with my animals.

Its cute really that you have a bear named Toby. Nice to know. You just put a smile on my face :) I don't have an object as such, but I do 2 things that make me feel better. I close my eyes and listen to soothing music. Apart from that I write short poems. Somehow , the creative juices flow easily when I am in pain or am upset/distressed. So writing helps me a whole lot. God bless you! :)

Hi wolfie34, When I'm having rough patches I get the tea kettle or the coffee pot going, depending on my mood, and have a couple of cups. Jesus is always with me too, so it's Him, my tea or coffee, and sometimes a nice stroll, then I'm good to go.

Back when I was single I was given a stuffed gorilla at a time when things in my life were not going well at all. To me, I think this was one of the most down times in my life, but also the start of what my life has become today for sure. I used to cling to this for hope and security, and there are times when I feel scared or just need to hug something, I still will hug it. But since I also have a Strong Faith in God thru Prayer I also know that he is like a Security blanket for me, and anytime I feel I really need to talk, he is there wrapping his arms around me protecting me as well.

I'd have to say that the Internet (particularly mylot) is my security blanket when life gets me down. It helps take my mind off what is ailing me and I can put my troubles aside for a little while.

I have Valentine Bear for my security blanket, wolfie! He is red and cuddly, and you can always find him perched on my opposite pillow in my bed.I've had him for several years now. He replaced my longtime companion, Tag Bear, who I gave to a neighbor's grandchild. I have owned up to ten teddy bears at a time. I like to give them to children, and I like to receive them as gifts. VB is a great listener who always agrees with me and doesn't mind if I sometimes squeeze him a bit too hard.

I think so... God is my numbr one security blanket and if i will be ask for some tangible things, maybe I could tell my diary. I use to write on my diary every time something happen to me happy moments or bad moments thru it, i can share my emotions without someone to disagree with you. and after that it makes me feel good about it..

Cats or getting out in nature maybe. I'm not sure I really have a security blanket...

I still have my childhood teddy bear (Goldie). She's 46 years old, and has the battle scars to prove it! All her stuffing has compacted down so her limbs are pretty flat - and most of her fur has rubbed off. These days, my comforting thing is to get into my lovely, warm bed at the end of the day and curl up with a book. That's the ultimate comfort and protection.
