The Most Embarrassing Confession… Ever

So, this is one of those things I’ve been battling to get myself to blog about for, oh, a long time. I’ve kind of mentioned it before, but I sort of skimmed over it without any details added and no one questioned it.

But then, then, my friend over at Nobody’s Nothings wrote this post today, and I just couldn’t hold back the truth in her comments section.

You ready? Here it goes.

*deep breath*

I still sleep with my blanky. As in, the blanky I slept with as a newborn. My childhood security blanket. YES, IT’S TRUE, DAMMIT! I’m probably the last 28-year-old on earth who sleeps with her freaking baby blanket.

And here’s the sad part: it’s really, really hard for me to sleep without it. I know, I’m pathetic.

Oh yeah, how much of a complete loser am I?

    you’re not loser. :) i’d probably still sleep with my care bear if it was as inconspicuous as a blanket. it’s hard to hide a neon green teddy bear. ;)

    As long as James doesn’t mind…who cares! I’d probably still have mine if my mom hadn’t thrown it out!

    You are not alone. One of my good friends at 30 still sleeps with her stuffed animal. It is so raggedy that she keeps it in her pillow case, but she can’t sleep anywhere without it.

    I love that your most embarrassing confession is about a blankie and you are not afraid to talk about your vagina. It makes me laugh!

    I think you’re so hysterical that your blanky is your idea of an embarrassing confession. Sleeping with your blanky is a comforting thing that harms no one – more people could take a lesson from you and do things that make them feel more comfortable and secure – and who cares what anyone else thinks. :-)

    I still have my baby blankie. Its this hideous neon pea green color. But I love it and I called it my Magic Blanket for most of my life because any time I’d lay under it I’d feel warm. I also have my bear brown spot that I’ve had since I was 7. He’s been to college with me and now resides with my boys stuffed animals. I’d love to let my boys lay with my magic blanket…but the chance of them hurting it somehow is just too high…so its not happening.

    I have to agree with Rosanne…that is pretty funny that you thought it was embarrassing to talk about your blankie, but not about body parts and body functions! :)

    Had to do a followup. As soon as I pressed submit…my oldest son Sam walks up to me and says “Blankie”. He’s on the hunt for his blankie. Too funny! Must be national blankie day or something!

    Yeah, I know… I’ll admit my vagina’s been through hell and back, talk about my breasts, and discuss sex like I’m talking about the weather… but dammit, the BLANKIE is some tough shit to talk about ;-) .

    I have a blanket that I take everywhere with me. It’s not my baby blanket it’s just some blanket I bought at Walmart like 4 years ago, but it is so comfy I can’t sleep without it. I took it on my honeymoon also lol.

    How sad is this? My mom gave my blankie to one of her dogs and when the dog died she buried her with it. No blankie for me.

    BUT, all through high school and college I had the same boyfriend and if he wasn’t in bed with me I was clutching a bear he had given me. I slept with it for a long time after we broke up…actually until the next guy, who I was living with at the time casually asked where the bear came from…then he had to get packed away :(

    I have the two security blankets, a teddy bear that I’ve had for almost twenty years, and my husband’s pink ape in our bed. So no — you’re not crazy.

    Only read a couple of your posts – am surfing depression blogs as it’s been a life long problem for me. And every day, I kick myself mentally because, except if I’m staying somewhere where someone might notice, I sleep holding my cuddly dog, and it seems so shameful becauase I’m 45 (and very single, since you ask!). I am phobic about sex so don’t believe I will ever be anything other than single now – I did have a long relationship in the past. Keep on with the blanky! Where’s the harm?!

    You are definitely not a loser. I still sleep with my stuffed dog that I got when I was 7 for a birthday and sadly he even has a name. My dad actually named him after a dog in a movie that my dad whatever odd reason loves, The Burbs. His name is Vince and he was once referred to by my brother as my own personal version of The Velveteen Rabbit. I even have trouble sleeping with out him to :o (.
