hi

so one of my partners just got themselves a weighted blanket for their anxiety and when I tried it triggered an instant flashback to my depressive episodes when you are incapable to get out of bed. The blanket feels too heavy to lift and you are unable to escape and you feel miserable and like a failure for not being able to do a simple thing like that.

I thought I would like it because I like it when someone lays on top of me, but now I'm sitting in my comfort hoodie and waiting for the hot chocolate my partner offered to me.

did anyone have a similar experience with a weighted blanket before?
