Chronic Pain. Borderline Personality Disorder.

Nightstand Contents

1. amethyst crystal I got as a teenager as a gift that is said to help with anxiety.

2. medications in my crumpled old prescription bag

3. Hair oils

4. Hair Clips

5. mug with metal straw- always have

6. an old lamp someone left behind in my new flat which I love and has the perfect evening lighting

7. Book- The Body Keeps The Score, by Bessel Van Der Kolk

These things are my 'essentials', the crystal and lamp are one of those things that make me feel better, even if they aren't 'proven' to 'work' necessarily. I have all these things right next to me for accessibility on days I can't leave my bed.
