The Worry Doll Thread

calypso · Post by **calypso** » Tue May 01, 2007 2:11 pm

Does anyone know about worry dolls? There are some here you can meet if you want, just whisper to talk to them

They're tiny little handmade dolls made of paper and wire and fabric.
The idea is that you tell them your worries at night, put them under your pillow, and while you sleep they take the worries away to deal with them.
I thought that maybe people could leave their worries in this thread and when they come back they'll be gone, or a little less pressing anyway

My mum got me some when my anxiety started showing itself when I was little. I think they work wonders

OOoo I have one of those from Thailand! I keep it under my pillow, but I always forget it's there. Maybe it takes some of my worries away when I sleep without me knowing

My worries:

I'm worried this period of being okay will only be temporary

I'm worried my T and pdoc will think I'm an attention seking little brat, and I'm worried that I've hurt my T by making him worry about me too much

*whispers* I'm worried that I'm too much hard work for my partner, and they'll leave me.

I'm worried that my mum will always think of me the way she does now... as unimportant.

ooo, my mom got me those when I was little, too

... I lost them all though.

I'm worried that my desserts won't be good today (I'm baking for a school event) and nobody will ever know that I used to be very good at baking and they will always see me as someone who is good at school and nothing else.

I'm worried that, if this break turns permanent, I'll have lost my offline friend (not to mention all our mutual friends, I mean, who'd choose me over someone happy and confident??) and my offline support network.

i'm worried that i'll mess up everything i've been working for.

i'm worried that i've already messed it up.

i'm worried that all my confidence in my dreams will get me nowhere.

i'm worried that i'll end up like them - like the older ones that say they used to be like me.
