Essentials for caregiving
With Schizophrenia and psychosis taking a big chunk of our time, I have to find convenient easy things to help around the house.
It has reached the point that to keep my job, I need a way for Divina to be monitored during the day. It's a sad step, but necessary
Blink Video Doorbell + Outdoor 4, 2yr Battery
Shade has been enjoying this service for almost a year now. The meals are well-prepared and delivered to you very hand if you request so. It's been one of the best decisions for creating peaceful, elegant mealtimes with an utterly chaotic illness such as SMI. It's the Biggest help for us!

Divina has a 2 yr sub to YT music. Its the kind of thing that soothes her soul. Any day I find her resting in bed with the music playing is a good day, it means she has a bit of peace for the moment.

Started trying some of these Healthy choice steamer dinners. It was pretty good, and easy enough for Divina to fix too.

Little Extras, Divina’s picks
She asked for me to order these for her. She doesn't ask for much, so I indulge her as much as possible
Divina found these to get ready for our winter wonderland roadtrip. Fluffy soft and durable. Remember, since her diagnosis, she spends a good part of each day pacing due to the medication. These are keeping up with her.
Bulinlulu Fuzzy Grips Plush Cozy Socks
We started using these on recommendation of our local curl expert. Divina’s naturally curly hair needed saving from her penny pinching mom. Monat won me over for the quality and rich natural ingredients. I think my favorite is the oil blends, so l...

Divina loves to be covered in these ginormous fluffy bath sheets when she passes from the bath to her room.
Tens Towels 2-Pack Extra Large Bath Sheets
This is Divina’s choice of water. When she starts getting dehydrated, we order a case and set it right insider her room. She prefers water at room temperature and it’s close by.

Divina loves cotton candy, it is a very RARE treat, and I'm the pistachio freak. Undoubtedly this combo appealed to her and she had to tell me about it at 2 am during a night of mania. I have yet to get it for her, imagine why...

I got these for Divina to help her micro biome. Gut health is important with mental illness. Honestly, she didn’t care much for them, because she cannot taste anything. However, I love these. I call them less sweet, but not diet tasting. I like th...
OLIPOP Prebiotic Cream Soda, 12oz (12-Cans)
Love these Stainless boba straws. These were inspired by our trips to Charley’s cheesesteaks and strawberry lemonade with the fruity chunks. I keep a pair in the glovebox and switch them out with the cleans ones after a joyride.
NiHome 4-Pack Stainless Steel Wide Straws
I'm currently trying these to see if I can wean Divina off of some of the carbs. Many report good success with a Keto diet for mental health. We are sharing 1 serving between us over 2 days. So Ketone shots essentially. It's too early to tell, but the voices don't like anything that will lessen their power over her mind, and they have already tried to tell her it's evil, etc. Schizophrenia is all consuming folks and it's can be mean.
KEY Ketone Drink - Energy & Focus, Sugar Free, Low Caffeine, Variety Pack (6)
I found these because I don't like to wash under the buttons on the lids of my travel mugs. So I switched them all out. Now Polar Camel will even personalize them, if you like.

This might be too personal, but I love how these smell and they have magnesium, which I could always use more of.
