Have any special connection to your childhood stuff that may be considered non-normal? I did and t oday I got confirmation that my Lego and stuffed animals have been shipped to be reunited with me after 10 years apart… Super thrilled… No grown woman should be this excited about Lego and stuffed animals but I am… Lol

My mother tried giving me and my daughter my old childhood dolls
but I threw them out. I was never a good mother to them. It conjured up bad feelings.
My mom gave away my sega genesis and games when I was a kid, I was heartbroken. Hopefully somebody got some use out of them

I’m sorry to hear that, that stinks!
I had a sega mega drive.
Was the greatest thing in my life.
I wish I knew what happened to it.
It mysteriously vanished
@Daze Sounds nonetheless like you had a strong emotional connection to them.
yeah. I wrote a poem about it. It’s dark.

I have a stuffed ape/monkey I’ve had since I was 9. I hug him every night, i feel much more comfortable sleeping when I have him in my arms.

I have a baby blanket that I still sleep with to this day. I used to think it was blessed by God. Now I’m not sure.

I actually have a stuffed dog from when I was about 6 years old. I’m 57 now. I used to carry him everywhere when I was a little boy. He’s kind of dirty because my sister got mad at me and threw him in a swimming pool when we were kids which kind of wrecked his fur.
This thread actually makes me sad. I loved my toys and games and old school papers from third grade and my books from childhood. I kept this stuff far into adulthood but I have moved around a lot and my sisters or my parents used to store my belongings for me because starting at age 19 when I first got diagnosed. I didn’t have my own place because I was in hospitals and group homes. So my family kept my belongings from my entire childhood in their garage or attic or spare bedroom but sadly, they moved around too and several times I just had to go through my stuff and throw most of it away.
I was very sentimental about my belongings and now I don’t have any of it except my stuffed dog, the only reminder of my childhood. And even as an adult, I accumulated a lot of cool stuff but I ended up having to give everything away. It just makes me sad.
