Does anyone use a weighted jacket? Does it help with keeping calm?

Hi I don’t. Welcome to the forum!
I thought its for exercise.
Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay, I know I do!
I don’t. I only wear heavy clothes in the winter. I am autistic in addition to having schizophrenia and am sensitive to clothing touching me in the wrong way or weighing too much. I will only use heavy clothing or blankets when I have no choice.

I take supplements to keep me relatively calm.
Here are the ones that have research behind them saying they help schizophrenia:
L-theanine

Broccoli sprout extract

Here’s one with no research behind it but it really helps me. Others here didn’t think it helped them though.

I have a weighted blanket that really helps with anxiety. I used to have a weighted vest and it helped too.

Thanks for the info. My weighted blanket helps too but was unsure about a weighted jacket.
