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.

I had a strong bond with my stuffed toys as they protected me in the night. I felt terrible when i found out my dad had put my favourite toy in the washing machine. I thought he had drowned him which reduced his protecting ability and so at the age of 11 he no longer lived in my bed.

I feel sorry for your toy... How could you just abandon it like that :( It has feelings!

My question is, would it stop the nightmares? Maybe the monsters around us are what causes us to have nightmares/ night terrors :0

Oh, you're not pathetic! I would still keep my stuffed animals on my bed with me at night too but when I moved in with my fiancé he made me pack them away =( I still feel awful thinking about them being stuck in boxes!

Stand up to him! Let him know what they mean to you. Maybe he'll understand. Can't hurt to talk to him about it right?

Maybe you could compromise and keep them beside the bed? I used to have mine on the bed too. But with both of us in it, the animals get smooshed. So we keep them close. :) P.S. I'm 20 and my boyfriend buys me a stuffed animal for every holiday.
