  • Hi Stef. Sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time. Have you ever tried a weighted blanket? I like very tight hugs (which isn't always pleasant for people!), so the weighted blanket gives me the pressure I need. I can sit under it as long as I want to and I find it helps me stay calm.
