r/ESSAplushieshandlers

Short: my close friend got me my favorite and representative animal in a stuffed animal while I was having a horrible depression and connected with it. His name is Seby, if you know you know 🐸 my yume

Sh censored sorry if I missed one.

As you know I had issues finding a essa. I introduced them to yall as a "starting ritual" but none of them seemed to really connect with me at the end.

I got a friend who became really close and very important to me. He asked which my favorite animal is and I said domestics this one and this and these.

And for the first time someone asked me NO, WHICH ONE no matter what and why. Interest>>>

I said skunks. For me skunks are deeply connected to me, I have my skunk oc and I love them

I'm shy and solitary, and I don't "attack" until I feel extremely intimidated. I feel misunderstood, and we all know that skunks are very misunderstood animals in the media and in the public.

He said that is cute and now skunks remember him about me and a few days later I got a tiny cute skunk plushie and I said Omg I posted it on this reddit with my rat milky as "desk comfort essa"

I told him how soft and cute its, my first skunk item, as a fact im from south spain so skunk are not something you see...

I said I wished it was bigger and bro said "say no more" and bought me the bigger version from WildRepublic just like the small one. The fact they recicle and compromise with earth is so cool and their plushies are so high quality and soft and well made I didnt know this brand.

I FELL IN LOVE, im going through a very rough depression patch. Lost my main essa (someone even laughed at me in this reddit just to delete their acc lol) and im just crying non stop all day and Seby made me smile and cry with happiness. I felt deply connected the momment I held him 🫂🫂🫂❤️‍🩹. I feel my heart bloom. TYSM EFRA

I love having different sized versions of the same plush because if I’m just chilling not doing much I can have my big one for good cuddles and if I’m doing something with my hands or going out and need a comfort plush I have a smaller one that I can just have in my pocket and take out when I need it. I would highly recommend it if your ESSA comes in multiple sizes.

Finn, Ferguson and I are enjoying the beautiful weather!! Feeling very grateful today. I’m chronically ill and my biologic medication that my insurance has been denying for 2 years was finally approved today. I feel so incredibly relieved & like a huge weight has been lifted off my of my shoulders. My ESSAs are here through thick and thin! Through my countless panic attacks to constant pain flares to my big life wins!!❤️‍🩹

and if so! what does it look like?

More photos to come on the comments. Idk why it won't let me add multiple.

My husband has a TBI, he wrecked his motorcycle @160mph in 2015. They put him in a coma for 14 days and they really thought that he'd wake up as a vegetable so to speak BUT when he woke up he was pretty much fine!! Fast forward to a little over a year ago, he started losing his balance and falling a lot. 5 years previous his body absorbed his brain plate ( the piece they cut out for his brain to swell without any more possibility of making it worse) up to this point he was ok for the most part. But after falling for like the 4th time within a few months he was admitted to ICU again and they did another MRI scan to find that his body created a calcified bone in place of where his brain plate was and it now puts a lot of pressure on his brain. It's attached to brain vessels and is over an inch thick now. Needless to say, he gets worse weekly... we have lived in our home for 10 years and he doesn't remember where our bathroom is anymore. It's very, very hard and sad to watch him get so bad!

But we went to tractor supply with my $100 gift card & I got tons of chewies for the dogs, and treats for my horse & he loved the little beagle who's name is Homer (idk if he'll Change it or not) and I got a cute and oh so SOFT highland cow calf (no name yet)!! He needed a ESSA also! So I'm glad he found one to adopt ☺️ it makes me happy!

I know it's not all the same shades of pink but I like it :3

Hey so I recently got Garrow (a longhorn spring cow from BAB) who I love very much, but I can't really put a dog harness on him, I wanted to make or buy a cute comfy harness/head halter for him to wear when he's "working" (supporting me). Have any of you got any recommendations or ideas? I tried braiding one out of embroidery thread but it was too thin on him, and I'm not very good.

My mom got them at Target for me! They're nonbinary and need a name still. If you have any ideas, please tell me. Oh, and I'm going to make them a purple collar later.

edit: I might name them Ghost

ive tried lint rolling, brushing it with a pet slicker brush and shaking it a lot. pls help!!

I had a medium sized Jellycat Fergus frog last year but i sold him. i deeply regretted it. i have the small size & the keychain and felt the family was incomplete. i finally found a medium Fergus online for a reasonable price!! he came today- needed a little TLC… some sewing & gentle fixing up. and now he’s home and ready to be loved!! Welcome home Ferguson! Here’s to many adventures to come!

But I want to make a new one. I would reactivate it, but I changed the username and stuff so I wouldn't be able to change those back for a while. I have a build a bear bat coming again soon and I really do want to carry him with me.
