Answers:
No, sweetie. You're never too old to sleep with stuffed animals. However, I wouldn't share that info. with anyone but your closest friends...same with the names. It's a sign that you are a sweet and nurturing person. Having stuffed animals is a comfort, not a sign of immaturity.
It does sound like you may have issues with anxiety. You will feel better if you get help with it from a therapist. There is nothing wrong with going to see a therapist; that's what they are there for and that's what they are trained to do. Think of how much better you will feel if you get the proper help.Health Question & Answer

It can't hurt to talk. If you feel as though your anxiety is interfering with you life and you want to voice your concerns to a professional, that is completely reasonable and it could only end positively. The therapist will either tell you that you have nothing to worry about or you and the therapist will work through your anxiety issues together and at the end you will be a happier person.Health Question & Answer
First of all if your stuffed animals give you comfort, than hold on to them forever.
As for the Anxiety, you might want to pay attention to the situations and how you feel in them.
If you find yourself unnaturally anxious in certain situations that go against the norm and/or in abnormal excess than you should probably talk to your doctor.Health Question & Answer

It's terrible what your parents did to you to make you so dependent, leaving you socially awkward, lonely, naive, frightened, and helpless. I suggest you wake up and realize you've been duped and get angry! It's time to take life by the horns, separate from your parents emotionally, become more independent, get away from the house, and discover what you might be interested in.Health Question & Answer
If your stuffed animals make you feel better then go for it! You are never too old :-)
It sounds as though you may have some anxiety. But of course I do not know you or you life circumstances and I am not a doctor.
But if these thoughts and worries affect your life it would be a good idea to talk to a professional. That would be the only way to really determine if you do have "issues". And if you do they can help you feel better :-)Health Question & Answer

i think having stuffed animals at 15 is fine, but still calling them by their names is a little weird..Health Question & Answer
My almost sixteen yr old still likes to snuggle with a stuffed animal (eeyore). I'll often fall asleep holding on to a pillow when the hubby's working late.
You're fine.
Oh, also, my daughter does have anxiety disorder for which she takes meds. It's now much more under control. She no longer worries about, the dark, strangers, aliens, owls, wolves, etc. Tell your parents about the anxiety. It's common at your age. There's nothing wrong with it. It'll help to find a program that helps you identify triggers and learn some coping techniques.
Takes practice and work and sometimes medication until you get a handle on it.
Good luckHealth Question & Answer

i still have some and i'm 38/mHealth Question & Answer
you really are never to old to have a stuffed animal, it is just something that you know and knows you, and you have a sort of connection with it, my grandma has a cigarette holder from her grandpa that she carries with her everywhere, it's practically the same concept, you should just try to not worry so much, when you think of the worst case scenarios, just think to your self, "but that most likely isn't what happened", or something along those lines, you don't have issues, most people have times in there life where they are like that, i think it is something you will grow out of, i grew out of it, but i still keep my teddy :)Health Question & Answer
Let me tell you something, you are never too old for stuff animals. I don't care what people tell me, mine are a comfort thing, I'm 16 and still love all of my stuff animals! Keep them, love them, and snuggle them!;) also about your issues, I also have them, being 16, I still have homesickness...I don't like it, but it's there, I'm slowly getting over it, but I can't spend the night in someones house if I haven't been there before, well until I'm familiar with it. it makes it hard to be a teen but I think I'll get over it, and I think you will too:)Health Question & Answer
