seasonal depression kit
special kit for my cuties who want to battle/buffer seasonal depressies
Whether its the “winter blues” or folks with pre-existing depression that gets more amplified with the weather changes, this is for you!
Here are some comfort items and items that I noticed made a great difference in sustaining my mental health in better shape. With the state of the world, it is also even more imperative to both support/ advocate for Palestine while also taking care of yourself in between.
small everyday items in your favorite character
ashwaganda supplements
(if you have pre existing mental health medications, I suggest to run it by your psychiatrist first!) but I loved drinking 2 a day for 2 weeks and now I take “as needed” - GR8T to ease the anxiety that is often associated with causing sadness from distress
comfort plushie
I firmly believe that no matter what gender you are- you GOTTA have a plushie. holding a soft item when feeling not so hot, can make a difference.
“light therapy” sun lamp
this lamp is supposed to emulate the sunlight. lack of sunlight and vitamin d can make our moods more dysregulated. when there were extended gloomy days this light saved me. i would place the light in front of me for 30 minutes to an hour and i felt more regulated and myself after daily use.
journal
journal daily! its a release of what’s on your mind and can allow your mind to be placed into a physical space so you can rest.
vitamin d
can help regulate moods when lacking sunlight (vitamin D)
protection item
carrying a protection items that aligns with your spirituality or religion can be a grounding technique! put intention and an affirmation with any item and carry it wherever you go
makeup
beauty for all genders is a great way to regulate daily routine. (ELF doesn’t fund Israel and is affordable, win-win)
comfort go to music
comfort music and play it daily, create playlists of songs that are tried and true to feel good
items to buy for holidays
this is a powder i’m adding on my wishlist! also supports Palestine. incorporate your holiday shopping with Palestine supporter brands.
