If you had to design a first aid box, but for mental health – to make someone feel better, what would you put in it?
Ed ecco le risposte:
Noise cancelling headphones, an electric teapot with tea and cups, a clean and fluffy white sweater, a snuggly kitten (NOT a standoffish kitten), and a journal to write in.
Chocolate!!!
I had a guy friend in college that carried a round an “emergency kit” filled with different types of individually wrapped chocolates. Whenever he would see me or any of girls he was friends with looking upset, he would sit down next to you, hand you the kit, ask if you wanted to talk, and then pretty much just sit quietly for about 20 mins. It worked like a charm at least 80% of the time!
Assuming these are to be stored in people’s homes in the event of a panic attack in the middle of the night or something…
