Hey guys, recently stumbled across a couple of things that have made my life sooooo much easier. My anxiety causes me to frequently become overwhelmed and not be able to do anything *or* take all my energy from me to the point I can't do anything. Maybe someone will be able to also benefit from my discoveries!

1. Fruit is important too! So I know we are supposed to eat vegetables (of which I eat little to none), but I also know fruits are important too (of which I also eat little of). Fresh fruit goes bad really fast and doesn't always taste the best. I bought some cans of fruit and put them into plastic bowls in the fridge when I was having a good energy day. On days like today when I don't have any energy, it's easy enough to grab a spoon and have it as a snack. I always need things I can just grab and eat! I figure canned fruit is better than no fruit 🤷‍♀️.

2. Weighted eye masks are life changing. I bought one and have used it the past 3 nights. It has helped me feel more secure while trying to fall asleep (have bad sleep anxiety) and has put pressure on my temples and my sinuses which often hurt due to my anxiety. It didn't help with my nightmares (still woke up screaming), but it was definitely comforting and soothing. 

3. I invested in one of those "wet" brand hairbrushes that advertise they are supposed to help detangle hair easier. I usually go for the $5 brushes which rip through my hair/have to yank and pull knots out (I have very thick hair). Because of this, I have only been brushing my hair twice a week and pulling it up into a messy bun every day. My tangly hair is also a barrier to showering because water just makes it more tangled. First time I used it I didn't believe how well it worked! Smooth brushes and couldn't even tell my hair was tangled! Definitely splurge the extra $5 for the wet one if you have thick crazy curly hair!
