Amanda - 7 years of Anxiety and depression

The root of my intense anxiety began when I was 25 years old. After I married my husband, my life turned into a nightmare. From the very beginning, our marital quarrels turned into wars full of physical and psychological violence.

I was stuck; I was scared, terrified, also ashamed…..

Two years later, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness; I had liver failure due to the pain pills I had been taking for a crushed spine (domestic violence by my ex-husband) and severe neuropathy. I also suffer from arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes, and sleep maybe 2-3 hours a night. I had been going through a very difficult time in my life, but I wanted to share with you that one of your blankets helped me overcome my pain and sleep much better. And thanks to good nights and more sleep, I have a clear mind during the day and feel less anxious. I have to admit that I had a feeling this product might help me because, as a child, I used to like five blankets on my bed and my dog laying on my legs! I felt secure under the weight. This product has helped me so much with my illnesses. I can’t say how grateful I am for this invention.

I couldn’t believe such an easy thing could fix it!

The United Kingdom is my home, and I hold a German passport. This on-and-off ex-pat since childhood got me used to adapting, which probably triggered my never-ending curiosity—nothing seems safe from being challenged. That trait got me into a lot of trouble over the years. Interestingly enough, it also made me a speaker on many occasions.

My BFF would probably be best to tell you the tale of many further changes in my life. She and some other very close friends witnessed me deteriorating over time. To this day, I can’t believe the humanity they showed. They were always there, even though I increasingly retreated from society, especially when my sleep issues got so bad that, for long periods, I couldn’t seem to face anyone. Very few of them knew how hard it got to drive to the airport to fly all over Europe. My career in IT was progressing but accompanied by increasingly alarming sleep issues. It brought so many debilitating challenges; all I could do was hope for sleep, handle epic mood swings, burnout, and several stints in psychiatric facilities. In the end, I won and overcame insomnia.
