Demi Lovato has been through dark times in her life, but she's committed to sharing the absolute truth with her followers, who might be experiencing the same thing. Lovato champions body positivity and inspires her followers to accept themselves, and doesn't shy away from having difficult conversations about her mental health.
Last month, the singer shared a special memory from her eating disorder recovery days and inspired fans to believe that they were worth it. Now, Lovato is promoting the use of gravity blankets and showing fans how they have helped her whenever she feels anxious.
Demi Lovato Uses A Stuffed Animal To Help Stay Calm
The singer took to Instagram and shared a photograph of a massive-looking, purple gravity blanket disguised as a stuffed animal. She elaborated on her newfound obsession in her caption.
"It's like a gravity blanket but it's in the form of an animal that actually hugs you back. It's perfect for lonely quarantine nights," she wrote.
Lovato also mentioned how she wanted to buy more for her best friends, but the brand was sold out online.
Her fans were surprised by the singer's love for stuffed animals, especially since the one she shared looked like it was meant for children. Demi seems to have received several messages addressing this, since she clarified the issue shortly after.
"Yes I'm FULLY aware I posted about a children's toy BUT if you suffer from anxiety you know that gravity blankets can help calm you down tremendously," she shared through her Instagram story.
Lovato also shared that she was "excited to use this thing" during her next panic attack. While she was only attempting to explain her point, her choice of words didn't sit well with some of her followers.
Demi Lovato will be performing at President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' inauguration ceremony in Washington, D.C. later today, along with icons like Lady Gaga and John Legend among others.
When she was invited to perform at the "Celebrate America" event, Demi was emotional and confessed to being "left speechless".
