I am an adult, and i sleep with a "blankey"

I am an adult, and I sleep with a blankey. I do NOT suck my thumb, but the blankey is something that I need to prop my head up right in a way a pillow will not do. I also like the way it feels on my fingers. Should I make myself stop this, or is this harmless? It is a secret that only my husband and very best friends know about. By the way, my husband does this thing with the edge of the sheet that helps him go to sleep, and my best friend also has a blankey. We are all in our upper thirties. Are we wierd, or do most adults have sleeping props?

    I chucked this blanket I bought when I was about 20, when I got to about 25 because it had a hole in it and ever since ive been searching for one like it. The shop I bought it from has closed down! One side was like fur and the other a bit like a jumper. Ive found a new blanket shop but one I saw looking similar is really expensive and im waiting to save up before I even look at it in case I need to spontaneously buy it.

    I'm quite a masculine guy.. Always had lots of friends and everything. I used to have a teddy bear in my bed until I was about 17. It just felt comfortable holding onto it going to sleep, and if I didn't have it I'd find myself tossing and turning. In the end I figured it was a bit silly, so I put it away. But now I have to sleep with my legs in between the duvet covers o_O

    Want to know if it's "normal"? Do this:

    Close your eyes and imagine, in extreme detail, your blankie getting destroyed in front of you.

    If you're not frantic, you're normal. If you are frantic, you need to sit down and think about why. It only gets to be abnormal if it causes you a large amount of distress.

    I accidentally left my blanket in a hotel room when I was like....13 probably. I was devastated and I still miss it. If I had it, I'll still sleep with it.

    I think it's as normal as sleeping on a bed (very). I actually have a teddy in bed to cuddle when no-one else is there.. so very normal to have a blanket. If you don't want to give it up, don't. Hope this helps.. CasualCutie, xx.

    Get out more. Burn it? Cut it up? Piss on it? Sell it?
