🕯️ Our guide to opting out of Halloween in the name of mental health 📖

1. Know what activities you're comfortable doing. Baking cute cookies, making gingerbread haunted houses, or going to the pumpkin patch might be more your style than watching a scary movie marathon. Know thyself. 🍪

2. Tell your friends, family, or acquaintances what your comfort level is, and set a boundary. "I am afraid of clowns; if there is a clown at this maze, I will be leaving." 🚪

3. Try to avoid triggers. If you can't avoid it, or it happens unexpectantly, practice your grounding techniques, and let a trusted friend know how you will respond. 🙈

4. Plan activities you enjoy! Don't force yourself to participate if you don't like the activity. 🍎

5. Wear costumes you feel confident and comfortable in. 💃

6. Bring tools to your social outing. Headphones, fidget toys, and knowing you can leave a room or activity can help with sensory overload. 🎧

7. Get enough sleep. Staying up all night watching scary movies and partying sounds fun, but it can seriously affect your mental health. 🍿

8. Get outside and enjoy some sunshine! It's getting darker earlier now in Canada, make the most of that Vitamin D. 👻

Lastly, if you are struggling, need someone to talk to, or are overwhelmed, make sure to reach out to someone you trust or a mental health professional. You are not alone this spooky season. 🎃
