đ Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome is a condition I personally have experienced for a majority of my life. POTS flares can be scary, overwhelming, and exhausting, but Iâve found a little comfort through collecting and holding my weighted plushies goes a long way.
đA weighted plushie helps to provide me with gentle deep-pressure stimulation, encourages me to relax, offers grounding during dizziness, eases my adrenaline-driven anxiety, and creates a sense of comfort when my symptoms feel out of control.
đWhile it isnât a treatment for POTS, many people (like myself) find that having a comforting weighted companion nearby makes difficult moments a little easier to navigate and get through.
