The past few weeks have been incredibly hard—especially this last one. I feel completely depleted in a way I didn’t know was possible, so this weekend, I gave myself permission to slow down—to sit in quiet moments, spend time with loved ones, care for myself, laugh, cry, and make space for grief. Underneath it all was deep exhaustion, one I’ve never experienced before that made even rest feel hard.
When things feel like this, I reach for whatever brings me a sense of grounding, safety and comfort. Lately, that’s been my hoodie from @CloudNineClothing. I feel like I’m on cloud nine when I’m wearing it. I find myself quietly putting it on without thinking, especially when my anxiety is high and my thoughts feel unmanageable.
Since my neurological issues began a few years ago, sensory overload has become part of my daily reality…and nightmares. With anxiety and depression layered on top, I’m constantly searching for ways to soothe my body and calm my mind during flare-ups and overwhelming moments.
I’ve become more fidgety than ever, always searching for small sources of relief. That’s why this hoodie has been so helpful, and why it has become especially comforting for individuals who are neurodivergent, including autism and ADHD, or to anyone who struggles with severe anxiety, panic attacks, racing thoughts, or OCD.
The small details matter—the discreet fidget balls in the cuffs, the warmth and softness, the oversized fit, and the lack of strings around the neck. It feels safe. Like a weighted hug. And right now, that kind of comfort means everything to me.
If you’re in a season where comfort feels hard to come by, I wanted to share this. I do have a little discount code if it’s helpful to you or someone you love:

I hope it brings you even a bit of the comfort it’s given me. 🫶
