I created an emergency kit for when I’m feeling down. Here’s what’s in it.

On my worst days, I really need to be reminded of how much I am loved

On my worst days, I really need to be reminded of how much I am loved, especially when it’s hard to love myself. Once, a therapist told me, “No one knows how to love you better than you do.”

My “in case of emergency” kit has been such a gift from the person who knows me best.
