Reddit mentions of New Age 3 Pack Smudge Cedar Sage, White Sage and Blue Sage Set with 'Uplifiting Therapies' Black Smudge Pot Smudging Kit

Stay positive with her. Emphasize to her that you and her are going to get through it together.

SOBRIETY.
Get her away from drugs, all drugs. No pills from doctors, no alcohol, no nothin'. When it comes to consciousness a white coat does not mean shit. Everything they might prescribe can and likely will mess with her neurons in unexpected ways and cause severe withdrawal symptoms. They will downplay this if they even mention it at all. Don't let them do that; demand that the doctors explain all possible side-effects and withdrawals.

Tell her mom about the terrible withdrawal and side-effects that come from messing around with pharmaceuticals. This isn't a conspiracy theory, so many people are too sensitive for the drugs that doctors prescribe and it puts them in a much worse state than they were before. It happened to my mom, it's happened to my friends. Leave the mind alone to heal. You can make it so much worse with drugs that doctors claim will help. If she absolutely is forced to take drugs, convince her and her mom to start her on the smallest, teeniest dose possible.

Here's how to naturally help her when she feels the worst.


Purchase some calming essences:


-Lavender essential oil, the most calming scent I know

-Sage and cedar incense can help purify the air and make you feel uplifted. Also good for clearing rooms of negativity.
(I usually just pick a single leaf or small bundle at a time to burn, but you can do the whole stick too if you wish)

Give her more personal attention:

Go for walks in nature with her. Don't let a sunny day go by where you aren't outside in the fresh air.

Give her the tools for integrating her life into a healthy whole


-[Commit to learning meditation with her]

(This is a free pdf book that taught me everything I needed to know to begin a fruitful meditation practice)

-Encourage her to go to yoga classes. Getting back in touch with your body and breath is an unparalleled tool for self-healing.

Does she have a specific religious background (Christian, maybe)? If so, I can probably suggest some books that will help her assimilate her trip. Repetition of positive teachings can be a very powerful tool.

The best and purest statement of spiritual truth I have found is The Bhagavad Gita. If she reads it, it will help her understand her existential struggle in a deeper way. It's spiritual but not dogmatic.


We see Arjuna on the battlefield, this impressive warrior, bent, burdened, eyes glistening, pleading for the meaning of life.


Krishna, totally calm, responds in effect, "Oh, you really want to know?"

The Bhagavad Gita

Keep the faith and trust that this dark cloud will have a beautiful silver lining!
