Are My Comfort Dolls Allowed at Home?

Assalamu alaikum, I'm an adult sister on the autism spectrum and I truly cherish my doll collection. Living on my own, I have some Rainbow High dolls displayed on a shelf near my bed and a pretty Pullip doll sitting on my desk. These dolls bring me a lot of comfort and joy just by looking at them. Lately, I've been worried because I heard it might not be permissible to keep dolls on shelves, as it could be seen like honoring them, or having them in the same space where I pray. I'm definitely okay with praying in a different room, away from my dolls. But the thought of hiding them entirely or-may Allah forbid-getting rid of them makes me really anxious and sad. I've been stressed and uneasy thinking over what to do. These dolls mean so much to me, but I don't want them to interfere with my salah at all. Would it be better to store the shelf dolls in a cupboard and only bring them out when I want to enjoy them, just pray in another room, or could there be some leniency since it would be really hard for me to keep my comfort items out of sight? Jazakum Allahu khayran for any advice!
