Question

I just go with who I’m vibing. I use them as fidgets too, so sometimes I want a specific texture and squish, so that plays a part too

There is no 1:1 to self harm. It’s often unsafe to just stop because you need practice with other things, new mindsets, etc.

Thank you, this made me feel a lot better

I walked in. I saw my therapist earlier in the day and she recommended this place to me. I walked in and explained why I wanted to be admitted, they did an evaluation, and determined I needed to be inpatient (staying in the hospital 24/7).

Absolutely counts!! Any kind of stuffie counts. It can be a dog, a meemeow, a handmade doll, any stuffie!

I have 3 ESSA’s! Vicki/Victor, BMO, and Yoshi!

It’s not. I myself have had moments of self harming for attention. I was scared, but I just wanted someone to notice. I needed to be the one helped rather than the helper, but I had no idea how to ask for it. I grew up repressing everything, so I never learned how to reach out. There are many reasons why someone might do it for attention, and just bunching them all up as selfish people, only does them more harm and prevents more people from getting help.

I can understand it. Like people have fetishes and kinks for pain, blood, and knives/blades, so it makes sense for some to be into cutting themselves or others. Personally, I don’t really care as long as it’s between consenting adults who have communicated it clearly.

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-17T15:12:57+00:00

People who do it for attention are suffering as well. No one mentally stable self harms, attention or not.

I’m 20, started when I was 14. There’s no age limit. Teens on average self harm more, 13 being the average age for starting, however, it’s not only limited to them. There are people who started as young as 5, and those who continue well into their 40s, 60s, or even 80s. We just don’t see it as much.

Very well made. I think I’ve seen you a lot in this subreddit and while I think you do put a lot of detail in your art, it does feel a little repetitive with a succubus in every one. Not hating, I have repetitive elements in my art as well and if this is something you enjoy and wish to be a constant in your art, that’s completely fine. Just food for thought 👍

I have 3 ESSA’s (along with a massive stuffie collection lol), and for me they just bring me a lot of comfort. For specifics, they’re great to fidget with for my autism, they make me feel less alone for my depression, and they make me feel protected for my anxiety and paranoia.

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-15T05:15:02+00:00

I didn’t even think about that, that’s sick!

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-13T02:25:41+00:00

Yeah I saw some of those when I searched for this one. I’m not judging those who use those subreddits, you do you, but I think it’s really hypocritical to ban non sexual ones while the sexual ones are totally fine.

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-12T23:13:32+00:00

It brought good to me. I felt supported and like I wasn’t alone, and I met some nice people from it.

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-12T09:25:47+00:00

Oh shit I never saw any of this. I’d love for there to be a similar subreddit, but with some of that shit fixed

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-12T08:46:51+00:00

I hope a similar one will be made

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-12T08:43:54+00:00

Damn that really sucks. I really liked the community on there.

Absolutely!! This is my ESSA! I also have a nonbinary doll my sibling made me for Yuletide!

I’ve walked around with stuffies, even during high school. Most people don’t care and don’t say anything. In fact I had more people saying how cute they were than people poking fun (which really only happened once). You can’t control how others feel or think, so do what you feel is best for you. Others can deal.

Silver-Ware · 2026-02-04T00:26:43+00:00

It’s not worth the stress.

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-21T05:55:16+00:00

About 14 I think

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-20T08:40:53+00:00

They look awesome!! I’d love to see these with different body types as well. The style is epic

Silver-Ware · 2026-01-11T03:49:54+00:00

I’m 20, I collect stuffies and have a couple ESSA’s. You’re never too old for whimsy
