I am someone who has struggled with anxiety for years . Recently, I read about the amazing anxiety reducing  benefits of using a weighted blanket . I decided to give it a try. I chose the 10lb weighted plush blanket by Bell + Howell. It is AMAZING!! The fabric is very soft and comforting and the added weight simulates a big hug! I felt my anxiety decrease within minutes of using it . I couldn’t be happier with this blanket and highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from anxiety!
