Hey,

How are you? What's your stress level like? No, for real. Where is it at? If you're anything like the majority of people I've talked to lately you're somewhere between trying not to pull your hair out, and taking a few extra breaths when you can to remind yourself "I'm almost through this shit".

The days are darker (only for another week thank god. Is it hitting you extra hard this year too?), some of you are dealing with sick kids every other week, extra hours at work to make up for missed hours next week, a million family dramas, or eating disorder and diet-culture shit making a surprise appearance because that messaging is fucking everywhere.

It's stressful out there y'all, and that's not even getting into the other shit happening out there.

I have something for you. I made something specifically for this occasion and it's available for a limited time only. First I'll tell you what they are, then I'll tell you why I made them.

The Deluxe Holiday Care Package, and the Little Holiday Care Package are a change to prioritize your mental health this holiday. They're a chance to breathe, to take a second for yourself and destress.

They are only available for a limited time, and have been made with so much love and intention. You are worth investing in. Your mental health is worth this investment and you will have it all of 2023 so you're ready for whatever comes your way.

Don't wait though, invest in yourself and go into this holiday season with all the tools you need to stay chill, calm and collected.

Why this was made:
I'll get real honest here for a sec okay? TW some of this might be difficult for some folx to read.

The holidays have been hard for as long as I can remember. It's a time I miss my dad, a time I lost some loved ones, it's full of greif. I used to feel so hopeful that the *magic* of the holidays would rub off and maybe this year would be the year I felt loved and belonged. For a while it would, a few moments on Christmas day I'd feel like maybe I had the family I always wanted. But it never lasted, I didn't know it was abuse at the time, I just knew I would go back to feeling like I was the problem. Fast forward to right before I ended the emotional abuse, the holidays about 6 years back or so was a time I had said "if things don't get better by this date..." well you can surmise the rest, right? I made it through that one, at this point starting to realize...maybe I wasn't the problem? (thank you therapist) My first holiday without my mom and sister was hard, but the second was hardest. It was one of the hardest weeks of my life, and that-my friend, is saying something.

I'm not telling you any of this to depress you, you'll notice I'm trying to give you the overview. I'm telling you this so you know, I get it. I empathize, and relate. I have been through eating disorder shit, I've been through self-harm, suicide ideation, and really really bad days.

Am I saying that these care packs are going to make everything better and you'll never be sad again? No. I am saying that I put everything I've been through, and all my love into making this a really thoughtful supportive tool for you to use if the holidays are hard for you too. Or if you're stressed out. Or if spending time with your family makes you want to go into a closet and scream for 10 thousand years.
Whatever your circumstances this will help, you can't lose. If you know someone who needs the support this would also make an amazing gift.
