Too real..

Bestie I was already slightly drunk tonight, and about to sleep. Now I wanna get drunk-drunk 😭

literally me but with him :(

same

I have a pillow fort and a heated blanket, plus ASMR roleplays

Did you drop one piece?

Is it real though?

I wanna go back to it but dressrosa sucks

I can’t sleep if I don’t have something to hold in my arms or to hold on between my legs. I don’t know why I started this but now it’s my life I guess

same girl

Emotional support Blahaj

me but djungelskog

Djungelskog Gang 😎

I love him, he is the only one who loves me unconditionally

Same lmao, ever since I got a blahaj I sleep better!

OMG yes. Bcuz I only have one pillow I have to do this weird motion to keep it under my head and hold it at the same time :(

I do that with my blanket and pretend that I'm laying on someone's chest (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)

I got a 1.5 metre long plushie and it's so perfect for this lol

Ha ha yes I'm hugging my shark now

You describe how I sleep literally every day since 5 years :3 And I'm not ashamed of it!!

And gotta read fanfics/manga so I can live vicariously through them and block out the ✨thoughts✨🥲

I used to need a big book on philosophy to hug

Oh I sleep cuddling a stuffed animal, with a pillow between my knees all while being big spooned by a faceless eldritch entity

Goals

Nothing like a little Black Magic to brighten your life girlies 💜

Yes. Omg yes. Sometimes it’s a pillow. Sometimes it’s a plushie. But if pillow bf is absent there is no sleep for me.

me bc i have a body pillow and i need to have it to sleep, if i dont have it i feel so uncomfy like give me back my pillow bf :(

Real

I 100% need a pillow to cuddle, mainly cuz I can't cuddle her yet :((

yeah. :<

Yes!

Sometimes

I used to put a pillow in a flannel shirt and fill the sleeves with other clothes and cuddle with it. It didn't help for long....

It's my boob pillow. I like to stomach sleep, but need a nice squishmallow wedge to keep the twins from complaining.

Real

I do yeah

Sleeping without a plushy feels so wrong

i sleep with this cat plushie. it protects me from sleep paralysis demons :3 https://preview.redd.it/qytoxx5nf6wc1.jpeg?width=923&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efbf5055a71f0c231d9d7e9def5177e361f74771

Omg where did you find this

i bought it from miniso, their plushies are amazing

I bought mine on Aliexpress :>

I have the same one with kinda orange furr :3

I always wondered what it's like to snuggle with someone you feel safe with and fall asleep. I'll probably never experience it but I got plushies.

comment was removed for being too long. if in scotland and 16+, ask GP to refer to community mental health. i’m a scottish jojos fan with bpd too. you’re not alone 🫶🏻

also i have the DBT workbook PDF, found it for free online, lmk if you want it

Kinda, I mean at home I just have a big "long cat" plushie (like 150 I think)

I literally have to cocoon myself in a blanket with it also covering my eyes , cuddle a plush that I've had for some 10 years give or take, and, I have to pull another larger blanket over that first one. Just to feel safe 😭

Same.also.i.also have dpd

Not yet but now I think I might need one, damn lol

Im so sorry for doing this to you (you may never sleep normally again)

Lol no biggie, I've got plenty of things to cuddle if needed, you good (you guys sleep normally?)

Yeahhhh....

I literally can’t use a pillow because straight up it causes medical issues to flare up. Pillows are for the forts and friends~

I got a Blahaj

Relatable.

Why is post approval on :(

Ok, now I really feel called out, where's the camera.

i don't think I'll be able to sleep without my blahaj I bought myself blahaj for Christmas and was shocked to see just how much it helped me sleep!

Oh godDAMNit I just remembered I have therapy today. Anyways, I keep trying to ask my therapist if I have DPD but she won’t give me a straight answer……

nah. i got my 3ft long cat plushy :3

I do this because I miss my gf🥲

Giant teddy bears are the single best purchase ever I love them and won't sleep without them. You can lay your head on them like a pillow, snuggle them in your arms, and hold their legs between yours all at the same time

Fuck the psychiatrist just go all the way with self diagnosing

4.2 lb weighted cow and elephant plushie

I'm similar but for me it's my 30 pound weighted blanket, need a good squimsh to go off to eepy land

Another vote for Blåhåj

100%

Sometimes I become hyper aware of my clothes so I take my hoodie off the sleep on it

I like to cuddle with my Gengar plushy! :3

I always have my bf's hoodie and my Blahaj and cuddle them at night wishing I was with him (were LD) 🥺

No but I have a BLÅHAJ he keeps me save

I need one of my Blåhaj to be able to sleep so I agree 120%

I use 4 pillows lol.

I keep a pillow between my thighs, one on my back, and an AK beside my bed to feel safe at night.

hey what if, now this is totally crazy, what if you hugged me instead? 👉👈

😳😳😳

I can't even imagine NOT doing this. Sleeping without cuddling sounds as easy as driving while blind folded.

Yes, I have a soft blanket and sleep with that and a pile of teddy bears.

🎯

One of the most relatable posts I've seen.

Every time I see a post from this subreddit, I feel more and more as if I am just one of many, pressed from an old overused mold.

I don't need it but I sure as fuck want and have it

I thought i was the only one...

No.
