Maltinha think I need an opinion, I'm a person who has a lot of anxiety attacks, mood swings and my way of giving myself comfort is to cling to my stuffed toys, until recently I wouldn't be insecure, but now my relatives want me to stop having this self-protection mechanism by force, I know I'm almost 24 years old but it's something that helps me cope with the day.
I've even been researching on buying a stuffed toy that is heavy, I had read on a website that heavy blankets and stuffed toys can help reduce the amount of anxiety.
My question is do you think I should follow the family's advice or continue to have this kind of "weapon" against anxiety?? 

Thanks in advance to those who read it to the end
