Gentle light 🕯️

mentalhealthandme profile image

I bought this cheap little Himalayan salt lamp the other day. And the dim light actually soothes me at night. Harsh lights tend to make my anxiety and overthinking at night worse. I highly recommend getting a dim light if you're anxious at night. Just thought I'd share!

That's gorgeous by the way, only way I stop my overthinking is drowning it out. Earphones and either music or at the moment friends on Netflix. Don't have to watch just listen and no crazy voices 😅

Oh I definitely do that too! Just having something on in the background so I don't have to hear my thoughts 😆

Oh gosh my baby is a mental healthcare provider in my book 😆 She's so helpful, I swear she knows when I'm anxious or depressed because she'll come around and make sure I know she's there.
