These are the small things that helped me survive the hardest stretches of TSW. Not cures. Not protocols. Just lifelines I reached for at 3am when my skin was burning and nothing else made sense.
I share them here because I wish someone had handed me a list like this when I was starting out. Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t. Your body will know.

A Closing Note
None of these things healed me on their own. Healing has never been about a single product or protocol. But on the worst nights, these were the small companions that helped me make it through to morning.
If something here helps you find even a moment of softness, I’m grateful.
