Looking for ways to manage stress without medication or therapy

Prob have to update the bag every so often huh? My brain wouldn't work without changing it up every so often atleast

Dbt teaches you tons of skills to manage those emotions

Marijuana helps me

I've found that anything tactile helps me a lot. I carry a 'break bag' with me when I'm out and keep it handy in the home, playing with small items or something sensory. For example, my bag usually has both cinnamon and mint gum, mints, a fidget cube, a chapstick, an essential oil stick diffuser with a scent that relaxes me, earbuds and a card with hotlines just in case/my therapy offices number

I keep a lanyard with my keyring. I add small Keychains that I can hold on to or just rub when I get nervous. I go through them fast. So far I have had a small panda, a fuzzy ice cream cone, and right now I have a small resin circle. People just think I'm fidgeting with my keys. It really helps me. I hope this helps.

I like to always have a drink with me with a plastic straw in it that I can drink from or chew on, it sounds terrible but it rlly helps me. And the drink has to be smthg iced bc my brain likes that.
