A question about Huggy Bear? First, meet Huggy Bear! I’ve had him for years and I sleep...

It's one of your coping methods. Anxiety can be really debilitating like you said. Huggy Bear is 10 million times better than drugs or alcohol and other things. I say do what works for you. It's really not up to us here or anyone anywhere else to decide that for you. You're not going to be judged if you don't tell anyone. But if you tell people there's always going to be ones that are going to judge and sneer and point the finger. That's not going to help you a damn bit. Do what's right for you.

Just keep it to yourself.

Yes it is strange for someone your age to be sleeping with a stuffed toy, but if it helps you cope with anxiety then maybe just keep it to yourself. Have you tried sleeping with a weighted blanket?

I'm 40 this year... and I still have a bear that I like to sleep with sometimes.

If people don't understand that we all handle trauma in our own way, then... are these really people that you need to surround yourself with???

No, screw them.
If it helps with anxiety, it's your business, not theirs.

They have embarrassing skeletons too. It's just a matter of making theirs public.

As I like to say, everyone has shit themselves before, so its hypocritical to call out another persons thing when their own pants are full.

You could also mention that you are at least dealing with your anxiety in a constructive way whereas they might be doing cocaine to forget about theirs.

As a side note I have like a hundred of these. I have gotten them as gifts a lot, collected them from claw machines or just outright bought ones I liked. So no you keep that teddy bear 🧸

Anybody that doesn't like it is probably an alpha/incel and should go fuck themselves.

Don't get rid of him until you're ready. Although I have to ask, how did your co-workers find out?
