    I brought some fiddle toys from the works to help me when I'm anxious and in a bad head space

    Old photo from a year ago today! My friends sent me a self care/distraction box and this is what was in it, some positive quotes, distractions, a stress ball, bubbles, reasons to recover, badges and a candle 😊 since then ive added face masks, popping candy (for anxiety), fidget toys, colouring book, my fav treats, flavoured coffee, special letters from friends to remind me I am loved and countless other things 😂 would post a photo of it currently (I might when I get home) but I'm at work so 🤷😂 
    Definitely going to crack this out when I get home though and do some self care 😊 



    ' So I put a bullet where I shouda put a helmet, and I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away, that's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself 'hey, I wanna get better''

    Not my normal self care box but this is my self care bag I take with me to college. The dog is purely for sensory needs I don’t sit and cuddle it in lessons  :scream:


    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.
