'For years, I'd heard about weighted blankets and how they may help with anxiety, but I was skeptical.'

his whole life told me about these, but I never understood them until I experienced one for myself. There's a common misunderstanding about anxiety and panic attacks among those who don't suffer from them. I've been asked,"What are you anxious about?" Nothing! What a lot of people don't understand is that sometimes the panic attack is triggered by nothing. Sometimes, it hits you when things are good, and you have no control over it.

Then, one evening before bed, my husband tossed my 10-pound gray blanket on top of me."My hero," I shouted out. That evening, instead of getting up 20 times, I only got up 10. The next night, I woke up less, and the next, even less. My blanket rescued me from a cruel, sleepless fate. It gave me back my sanity.

Everyone is different, and I don't think these blankets have magical powers, but mine helped me overcome these nasty attacks. It hugs me and lets me know — you're gonna be OK. It softens the electricity that runs through my veins and gives me peace of mind. In my darkest moments, I know it will not abandon me.
