My E.S.S.As Are Home to Me

To me home is my E.S.S.As (emotional support stuffed animal). I have 8 E.S.S.As. Their names are Giji, Hibiscus, Moss, Cosmo, Kenya, Coal, Soul and Toothless. They feel like home to me because I play with them a lot and they calm me down when I start to have a panic attack or an anxiety attack. I bond with my E.S.S.As by sleeping by them, feeding them, training them, walking them and playing with them. I take them on outings to bond or have fun with them. I'm also trying to make friends who are E.S.S.A handlers/owners and/or dragon puppeteers. In summer I take my E.S.S.As on road trips to my family cabin sometimes with my cousins. Sometimes I get made fun of for having E.S.S.A’s but I don't really mind it. Gigi is a golden retriever, Moss is a white kitten, Hibiscus is an arctic hare, Cosmo is a Burmese mountain dog, Toothless is a …well you know like a nightfury dragon from the movie “How to Train Your Dragon”, Coal is a black Labrador puppy, Soul is a tiny yellow duckling and Kenya is an emu or an ostrich not so sure about that one. Just to clarify, YES I DO KNOW MY E.S.S.As ARE NOT REAL, I just like to put them in real dog gear and treat them like they are real sometimes. Q: Do you have some E.S.S.A(s)?
