If I get too hot I just take it off. I don't usually wear it for super long periods, just until I feel calm. Or in a/c.

I would once again like to plug my weighted hoodie from Thera brand.

I am not an affiliate, it's just helped my anxiety a lot as an adjunct to all my other stuff.

Not cheap but very durable.

GIDEON 9th x V FOR VENDETTA

Necromancer-healer Daquar is oblivious to the evil of her city's totalitarian cruelty--until her rebel ex-lover exposes it. But joining the rebellion means breaking her healer vows, & destroying the govt for good means becoming a killer

A collage of black-outlined polaroid photos of people in skull makeup. From top to bottom: a hooded skull next to a skull looking proud. A dazed looking skull next to an eerie skull. A skull woman holding a skull next to the outline of an eye and nose in skull makeup. All on a gray background. Images license free provided by Unsplash.
