Well I DID have a security blanket when I was younger but my parents took it away from me because I always had it with me and they didn't like it. I was so upset when they took it. I also used it when I would suck my thumb because it really calmed me down in certain situations. It was such a stress reliever. After my parents took it I would have mini panic attacks but I never let my parents or anyone else know about this. I was so attachd to the blanket that I went in search of it and found it in my parents bedroom and ended up cutting pieces from it. Just knowing that I had those pieces was so comforting. I don't have any of those pieces today but as embarrasing as it is I still tend to suck my thumb when I am stressed out or upset about something.
It really helps me to calm down. I like never admit that to anybody because I know it is not normal for a 21 year old to still suck their thumb but I know it is nothing to be ashamed about.
