Your transitional object.

I used to have a small knitted bear that was called "Little Ted". It is still around somewhere I think and would now be close to 30+ years old! I also have a yellow Rupert bear that is around the same age. I don't have either of these bears with me now but my Mother did give me another small knitted bear a couple of years ago to remind me of the one I did have. It is always in my suitcase pocket and goes with me everywhere. It has not been out of the suitcase pocket for all that time but I know it's there so maybe in a sense I am still holding on to that crutch! lol.

Nice discussion, as always. Alok, as far as I could remember, I did not have any transitional object in the true sense of the term. Neither did I resort to any cuddle nor to anything like that. I remember my sister who used to suck her thumb, later on passed onto a phase where she would sleep with my aunt's saree. That gave her the feeling of her mother, I guess. That makes sense after reading this discussion! I have been always an outdoorsy kid, quite independent unlike other kids of the same age, whose only aim in life was to reach the playground after returning from school. On other times I was into drawings and my world revolved round colors, glitters, stickers, posters. My sister o the other hand was into barbies and dolls. And you know what her association was so strong that she transported all her stuffs after marriage to Bombay! And even now she gets one from her husband on earning a brownie point and each time my niece gets one! Would like to hear more about it. What does that imply?

I never had one.I wish I could have had one after reading your discussion.

I remember having a stuffed clown that i called clowny, he had a silky collar around his neck that i like the feeling of and he wore a red and blue suit!! I can remember him well but i think that he must have become so battered through overloving that he had to go in the bin at some point, i'm not sure how old i was when we got rid of him but i think i must have been about seven! I also had a blanket that i used to have to have with me before i would go to sleep at night, this is a bit sad but i still have it!! I keep it under my pillow at night, i don't really know why i have it as it never gets looked at or touched unless i am in a strange, sad or nostalgic mood, but i think i'll probably keep it forever and maybe even use it on my own children's beds!! xxx

My object is socks, I cannot sleep and don't feel comfortable without socks on, even if the temperature is very hot, that is my comfort object, as for transitional one, I think my ed blanket but now it was torn to pieces.
