Best Self-Soothing Tools for Breakup Anxiety
Breakup Anxiety Is Real - and You Deserve Comfort
When your heart is breaking, your nervous system goes into overdrive. Your mind races. Your chest feels tight. Sleep becomes difficult. And suddenly the smallest things feel overwhelming.
But I want you to remember something: you are not broken - you’re healing. And there are tools that can genuinely help your mind and body calm down so you can breathe again.
These are the best self-soothing essentials I recommend to all my clients when breakup anxiety hits the hardest.
1. Weighted Blanket - Your New Nighttime Bestie
If you’ve ever wished someone could just hold you while you fall asleep, a weighted blanket is the next best thing.
It uses deep pressure stimulation to:
reduce anxiety
lower cortisol
increase serotonin
help you sleep deeper and faster
Tip: Choose one that’s around 10% of your body weight.

4. Acupressure Mat - When You Need to Release Tension Fast
Breakup anxiety often shows up as shoulder tightness, headaches, or that “can’t breathe fully” feeling.
An acupressure mat helps:

improve circulation
calm your mind
Lay on it for 10–20 minutes while listening to calming music or affirmations.
