Has anyone tried weighted blankets?

I get very panicky when things are too close to me or when I feel like I’m being suppressed; do you think it would make me feel like that?

Yes they totally do that. My kind friend bought me one for my daughter who is slow to settle at night. BUT after attempting various uses we gave up on it as frankly unpleasant and donated to Oxfam today. Feel guilty tho!

I'm interested too. I presume they work slightly in the same way as those sort of tight wetsuit things you put on dogs to calm them down during thunderstorms etc?
