When I am anxious or feel a panic attack coming on, I lie down and pile heavy things onto my chest - like books or boxes - to make myself calm down

    Interesting. I've always found it very calming to have the soft of my stomach pressed in tight.

    I like to cover up in heavy things too like blankets or a thick jacket, everything just feels safer. I like it when people sit on top of me too. So relaxing ^-^
