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!

Oh gosh my baby is a mental healthcare provider in my book πŸ˜† 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.
