how to make a self care box!

with me, your local anxiety- and gender dysphoria-ridden boy

hello my friends. I have recently been having a Not Fun Time™️. I came to the realization that not everyone has a self care box.

everyone needs a self care box. what is that, you ask? it’s just a lil box friend that can help you out whenever you’re feeling down. mine has helped me through anxiety/panic attacks, gender dysphoria, depressive episodes, and other Not Fun Times™️. let’s get into it!

step 1. find yourself a box. any old box will do, mine is a shoe box.

step 2. decorate it! here’s mine:

(Photo ID: a shoebox painted black with white splatter paint and a moon on it. it says “self-care box” in silver sharpie in the lower left corner.)

you could do whatever you like to decorate it! paint, crayons, washi tape, hot glue on a stuffed animal, whatever!

step 3: figure out what to put in your box. I’ve compiled lists of ideas of what to put in your box for each reason you might want a box.

for gender dysphoria

-a shirt or outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks

-pronoun pins

-transmasc ppl, things like a binder or a tie

-for transfem ppl, things like a hair clip or a bracelet

for anxiety

-a worry stone

-fidget toys (spinners, cubes, whatever)

-colored pencils and a kids coloring book (trust me, it makes you feel so much better)

-little games like tamagotchis or etch-a-sketch

-stress balls

-water wigglers (look it up, they’re great)

-putty or playdoh

-rubber bands to stretch

-a hole puncher and paper (this is great if you get super restless when you have a panic attack like me, punching holes in paper is nice)

for depression

-a soft blanket or sheet

-stuffed animals

-herbal tea

-list of things you love about yourself

-printed out pictures of close friends, family, and pets

-friendship bracelets you made or your friend made for you

-little snacks like Reese’s or gum (careful that you don’t get ants tho)

-more rubber bands (if you feel the need to self harm, you can snap them on your wrist)

-colorful tape and stickers to put on evERYTHING

step 4: put it all in your box

step 5: wait till ya need it, then bust out your lil box! it’s super duper helpful for me, and I hope it’s helpful to whoever reads this!

if y’all try this out, reblog this post with your pictures and what you put in yours! yeehaw my dearest friends
