Safety feeling

Hi @Down2

I have a weighted blanket and use it all year round.

I find them super comforting and so soothing. I use it every night when I sleep and find it helps a lot.

Perhaps other people find something similar that has that safety feeling. I find hugging a teddy also gives me that safety feeling.

Glad you have one @Snowie . Nice re teddy. I cuddle pillows too. The blanket doesnt take all the anxiety away.. but sure helps

It doesn't take all the anxiety away @Down2 but it does help me. Cuddling a pillow also helps me too. The other thing that helps me is a heat pack. I only use it when it's cold but I find the heat from one of them helps me.

i also sometimes listen to guided safety sleep meditation. Try be more in my body. Being myself to present by taking note of 3 things. Breath. Welcome any other ideas? @Snowie @FloatingFeather @Shaz51 @hanami

Good idea @Snowie

Hi guys @Down2 @Snowie @Shaz51 @FloatingFeather @hanami

Thanks for the tag here Shaz.

I have considered getting a weighted blanket before and my daughter has one but I haven’t actually bought one of my own yet. I hear they come in different weights. Not sure which weight would suit me. The other thing holding me back at the moment is the expense.

@Oaktree they are expensive but for me it was well worth it. I use it during the day too when I am sitting on the couch. I find it very comforting.

Maybe you could borrow your daughters first and try it out to see if it worth buying one yourself.

@Snowie

I can’t borrow my daughter’s as she has moved overseas.

Good idea though.

I love my weighted blanket It helps me cope regularly.
