Weighted Soft Toy?

I’ve been thinking about getting a weighted item mostly to help me through panic attacks from OCD but also for my ADHD. However, due to my other conditions, namely chronic fatigue and hyper mobility I can’t lift more than like 2kg...so I’ve landed on a weighted soft toy! But, I know that any weighed product is supposed to be about 10% of your body weight (I’m an adult ☺️) - does that mean anything less than that won’t have an affect/won’t calm down my nervous system? Will this actually be effective? Does anyone else use weighted soft toys or have any tips or just stories/expereinces? Thank you!! ❤️

Hope you're all staying safe! Sending hugs from Australia!

Has anyone ever made their own weighted anxiety blanket? How did you do it?

My friend would like to get a weighted blanket to help with her anxiety, but a lot of them are out of her price range. She's looking into making her own one and would like advice on how to go about it. #Anxiety #weightedblanket
