If you are fighting with mental problems, I recommend having a self-care kit with items that can help handle your distress. For example;
Headphones
Are you anxious or have depressive symptoms? Well, you can wear your headphones when you simply need a therapeutic relief or wish to dance the bad energy out. I recommend buying the noise-cancelling types to keep you in your world for that special moment with yourself. But please, always ensure you are in a safe environment to avoid accidents.
Pens and journal
Mental issues can have solutions in things that help you express yourself. For example, a journal helps me put down negative thoughts, which enhance quantifying the emotions rather than doubting the validity of my experience. A pen helps in letting your emotions out. By being creative, you can also keep yourself busy through writing, helping destruct yourself from challenging times.
Essential oils
I love essential oils, especially lavender that relieves my emotions when stressed. I spray it around me- sheets, pillow, or car, to help keep calm and relaxed. You can also add them to your self-care kit because they are convenient and portable.
