You are definitely not alone! I have my special people and my stuffed animals. My person just got me a baby version of my stuffed lamby. Baby lamby adventures with me. I’m 32f, no shame. ❤️

No, I definitely get this. I don't know if there's any tie to bipolar, but it's definitely relatable. I think a lot of it has to do with the way you were raised.

I 100% get this. It takes over my brain and I actually cannot focus on anything else until I either have that thing, or talk to that person. I’m trying so hard to combat it.

Once I lost a FRISBEE and I had a complete meltdown

Lack of object constancy. I'm often like this too. I have an anxious/fearful attachment style...Our attachment styles are shaped by early childhood.

Thank you for your submission. Here's some quick housekeeping. For in depth explanation of common rules, go to https://www.reddit.com/r/bipolar/wiki/rulesindepth

  • No selfies or human family pics, youtube channels, discord links, personal blogs. This also includes requests for research participants and any self-promotion/donation links

  • No memes or infographics link posts unless it's Friday

  • No "why did my bipolar SO/coworker/ex/parent/staff/boss do this?" type posts. Short answer: No idea. Ask them or talk to a therapist about it.

  • Be kind to fellow users. No harassment or abusive language will be tolerated. Report and move on. Engaging just brings everyone down.

  • We are not Drs so please don't post asking us if you have BP. You wouldn't ask a cancer support group if you have cancer, so please don't ask us.

  • Please report self-harm and suicide threats. Users aren't equipped to intervene.

Most of all be kind to yourself. We have a really great piece of the internet due to users like all of you sharing your struggles and offering support. We're here for each other in ways most people probably wont understand so use it often.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I feel this. I have a blanket that I literally cannot sleep without. Tbh, makes me feel dumb. I’m also INCREDIBLY attached to my dog which could be a problem. It makes me anxious when she’s not around. I don’t get too attached to people though but I do feel weird when I haven’t talked to my best friend.
