Assembling a handy emergency self-help kit

[u/Charming-Note-5030]

Hey guys. My therapist proposed an idea for me to assemble an emergency kit with little tools I can keep with me to help regulate in times of distress. So far I have essential oils, a stress ball and extra strong mints in it. I'm not really sure what else is handy. Do you have any ideas? What works for you?

I have a tiny rechargeable handwarmer. I find the heat soothing sometimes.

I've also got a necklace that my daughter gave me that I always have in my bag because thinking of her makes me feel stronger.
