I'm not sure I have any advice because I could have written that post myself. I understand completely when you said about hearing people laughing downstairs but being isolated and unhappy yourself. That contrast makes it feel worse sometimes. What's stopping you from going down and joining them?

Also, the stuffed animal thing - I have a stuffed toy that I've had since a baby... It followed me to university, it followed me when I moved out of home, it follows me when I go back home for a weekend. It's had several reincarnations over the years - my mum makes new versions of it for me.... and I'm 33. And mostly unashamed! It might not be "normal" but it definitely isn't something to be worried about. People get attached to all sorts of things and so what if it's your stuffed animal? If it gives you comfort then who cares.

You will be ok one day. Maybe you just need to find the right people.
