You can obtain Naloxone/Narcan in any pharmacy (at least in the US where I am; ymmv). It is an affordable over-the-counter drug and is easy to administer. Please note that you WILL need to call 911 asap, because it is only a temporary solution, and the patient will need medical attention right away. You do not need a medical degree to administer Narcan, and although there can be a stigma against having it on hand, it’s much better to be embarrassed in the pharmacy for ten minutes than to have your patient/friend/family member die. Administer the drug and immediately call EMS, and do not hesitate to tell them that you think it is an overdose. Medical workers are not snitches and will not get you in trouble for drug use. They just need all the necessary info to help the patient.
having the ability to stop, slow down, and think "wait, is there any physical reasons I feel bad actually?" is probably one of the most important skills one can have as a mentally ill/neurodivergent person or really just as a human being existing in the world in general

Listen, maybe I can’t change the world, but I can pass eggs over the fence to my neighbor to save them a few dollars. I can cross the street and fix another neighbor’s cabinets. I can send my kid to the house next door with a can of tomato sauce they need and they’ll come back with a box of cocoa powder they weren’t going to use. We can leave our old furniture at the curb and one of us will drive by and pick it up to fix and sell or keep. I’ll plant a garden since I have the space and time and I’ll share what I can and I’ll get calls from someone else asking if I can use a crate of oranges.
I may not be able to change the world but I can do something
“Is it foolish to speak of little joys that occur in the middle of tragedy? It is our humanity. Whatever we have left of it. We must not deny it to ourselves.”
— Ilya Kaminsky, from Still Dancing: An Interview With Ilya Kaminsky by Garth Greenwell
Something no one tells you when you’re going through a tough time, is that even the smallest people will remember you. They’ll wonder why you haven’t bought food for your dog, where the pictures of your boyfriend went, or why their favourite cashier hasn’t been there for awhile. People notice you. People love you. Even if it’s for your jokes, even if it’s for your patience, even if it’s just seeing you around. People miss you. People love you. People care.
I’m grateful for everyone who is still here today, no matter how hard it is.
