This is Oak. I struggle daily with severe depression, ptsd, and anxiety. I’ve been in therapy for over half my life. One day I asked my therapist if I could bring Oak to therapy. Oak helps me cope through the flashbacks and grounds me. I’m forever grateful for him and how comforting he is. He is kind, gentle and sits with me when I’m struggling. He hugs me when I cry. We go to therapy together. He goes everywhere with me… even though I’m an adult. Finding him in that big bed full of teddy bears for sale.. he picked me. He came to me hurt with no stuffing in his back. I healed him and he heals me. #depression #Anxiety #PTSD #emotionalsupportbear #copingwithptsd #thisishowicope #powerofplushies
