Being attached to physical items has a bad rep. Most people view it as being materialistic or being a spoilt brat. And while it does mean that a person has a level of privilege, it doesn’t always mean a person is a brat. Because an emotional support item can be anything from a coin that someone you loved gave you, to a water bottle you saved money up to buy. So, we’ve curated a list where people have shared their emotional support items, here, take a look:
1. “I’ve had the same hot dog pillow since I was 3, I’m now 24. I will be buried with this hot dog pillow.”
2. “Music, so my headphones/earphones + phone and my books.”
3. “I carry my little crystal wands – amethyst, aventurine, rose quartz, and a clear quartz tumble with me whenever I feel like I need some reassurance.”
– Aaliyah Jain
4. “I hoard skincare, that’s my emotional support item. When I’m feeling down I take care of myself better. I count my unopened boxes of skincare and review the ingredient list. To make sure I apply only the best on my skin.”
5. “I have an emotional support Kindle. I bring it with me everywhere and read books whenever I want.”
