I am overcoming/I battle GAD and CPTSD so I am ALWAYS ANXIOUS and I feel like relaxing is a chore. Well my therapist was telling me how it is important to invest in self-care mental health (I tend to be someone who doesn't like spending money on myself tbh) and so last week I said wth and bought a weighted blanket off Amazon. Last year when I saw weighted blankets they were too expensive 100-200 is a lot for me lol. But now they have started making them 50-70 bucks and last week I splurged and bought a 25 lb weighted blanket and it just arrived and it feels like my grandma's loving hug. It feels like a bundle of love and joy. For once I can chill and not feel so anxious I feel better. Wow. this is amazing. It feels soooo much better. Since I am anxiously attached I think I have had anxiety since I was like 1or 2 years old. I wish I had known about this in middle school, high school, and college but now I am okay finally! I am always in a hypervigilant state due to cptsd but this blanket gives me hope.
