Bad Day Go Away- Depression and stress support recipe
Purpose
After having severe depression and struggling with sleepless nights caused by stress and racing thoughts, I wanted a natural solution instead of turning to alcohol, pills, or smoking. By experimenting with calming ingredients at home, I created this drink. On my first try, it worked — after six days without sleep, I finally relaxed and drifted off peacefully. This drink is designed to relieve stress, ease mental pressure, and promote sleep in a natural, healthier way.
