Today, it hit me that I'm incredibly pathetic, when at the age of 21, I tucked my stuffed animals into bed with me, facing in different directions so they could keep watch for monsters while I slept. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and panicked because I couldn't find my blankie. I'll be 36 in a month. FML
Today, a tarantula joined my stuffed animal collection in its drawer. It, unfortunately, wasn't stuffed. FML
Today, I was so lonely, I tried to get into bed noiselessly while pretending I had a boyfriend asleep in it. FML
Today, I had to tell my doctor the real reason why I can't sleep at night for him to prescribe me anymore Ambien: I still have the irrational fear that there are monsters in the closet. I'm 22. FML
Today, my dog showed me her latest kill. Too bad it was the stuffed animals my dead grandmother had given me as a child that had a lot of sentimental value to me. FML
Today, and for the past month, I'm so lonely that I fall asleep holding my teddy bear's paw for comfort. FML
Today, my 18 year old son asked me to check if there were any monsters under his bed. FML
Today, like every other day, I suffer from insomnia. On returning to the bedroom after a very late night shower to hopefully get some rest, I sat on my cat. I jumped up quickly and smacked my face against the cupboard. I then looked back to see if she was OK. I'd sat on my Squishmallow. FML
Today, at the age of 20, I still have a bed time. It is strictly enforced by my cat via endless meows if I am up past 11 pm. FML
Today, while lying in bed, I was so lonely that I put a heavy blanket in front of me so it felt like I was spooning someone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pathetic? Hardly! Those monsters under the bed are only slightly scarier than the ones in the closet. It's a damned good thing you have such good protection.

Well if you haven't been attacked by monsters yet, then they're doing a good a job.

Saw this movie the other day. Guy tells his friend, "I just want to find a sane girl." So a little later he's making out with this girl, and stops and asks her "You don't have stuffed animals on your bed, do you?" "No way" "Now choke me" "What?" "Choke me!"

I'm 18. And so emotionally attached to a teddy bear that my boyfriend, who I live with, is jealous of it. You're not alone.

It's only pathetic if your in the military, you're a jock or woodsman. If your female it's totally cool.

How ridiculous. Men can feel an emotional connection to an inanimate object just as much as a woman.

If it brings you comfort it's not pathetic. (:

I think it's adorable, and I still sleep with my stuffies, too. :3

I'm almost 22 and I sleep with a stuffed animal and my baby blanket. It's comforting. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Keep your stuffed animals! One day if you have kids, you will enjoy seeing them play with the same things you enjoyed so much. I have a pink large plush lion filled with those squishy micro beads I sleep with every night. I can't sleep unless I am holding something soft. I have had this lion for nearly 10yrs.
