What's something (besides your phone) that you take with you everywhere and why?
I always have a peppermint chewing gum or fisherman's friend with me because sometimes I get a dry cough.

Good idea to wear the ring on a necklace! It must mean a lot to you that you never take it off.
I hope there are things that help you to ease your pain 💙
@amiablePeace77 That's right! Currently, thanks to the dermatological treatment, my eczema is under control. Thank you very much for your comment!
@amiablePeace77
What's something (besides your phone) that you take with you everywhere and why?…… My “Purse”!
That way I’ll have “everything else” with me that I need! (Hand sanitizer, wipes, water, my phone, credit cards/money, and pepper spray! ….& more if it will fit! Lol …as I never go anywhere without these mentioned items.
@PoliteOcean
Those are good things to take with you to stay as comfortable and safe as possible 👍
@amiablePeace77
Lip balm - It's soothing, especially in winter months or when I'm sick.
@thoughtfulmomma
Lip balm can become one of our best friends when sick and dehydrated and in cold or hot weather. I find it very uncomfortable when my lips are dry.
@amiablePeace77 wheelchair I won't get far without that😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11
I'm glad that your wheelchair gives you some sort of independence.
Nothing unless you count my clothing.
I often go out without my Keys and Wallet.
I see this as a good thing. Possessions can be a burden. Doubly so if I felt compelled to take them with me.
@Gettingbettertoday
Not taking a wallet with you makes sense if you do not have to buy anything you need and you can't loose your keys if you do not take them with you neither. 😀
Wallet, keys, disposable masks, lip balm, period products, sunglasses, pen and journal, mp3 player and earbuds.
I forgot flashlight, whoops.
@Zeraphim
Taking masks with you makes sense for sure!
@amiablePeace77
I have a little med kit in my backpack, with pain and nausea meds. But if I'm just using my pockets I like this spikey ring that lets me fidget/get sensory input to avoid picking.
@rebeccastgo
It's mindful to be well prepared! Fidget spinners seem to be quite popular to relieve stress.
Apart from my phone...The only other things I carry are my keys and my bluetooth earbuds. Sometimes, I don't really need to carry my license (while walking) nor my debit/credit cards, since I have everything electronically registered on my phone. I don't have a wallet anymore and need to get a new one...There's an app supposed that legally registers one's license, so I could technically do that, but not all institutes will recognize it unless it's a physical copy.
I used to go for walks and carry a coffee or Gatorade with me sometimes, but haven't done that in a long time.
@ImpudentIncognito
Not everyone is set to accept the current technical innovations but I guess this will become a normal in future.
I hope you will be able to go for a walk soon again, may I ask what is preventing you at the moment?
@amiablePeace77 I only like the technology so I can carry less things with me and have only one item. I grew up in a small town where the technology wasn't really...there yet. Had rotary phones for decades, no self-check outs when it was already a thing, and had to drive close to an hour to the city to shop for certain items. Ended up picking a fascination for tech like my old man, he's in his 80s -- tech is interesting and ever growing, but not all is necessary.
As for the walking--
Due to a couple of traumatic events, my body is not capable of much anymore and I have sharp chest pains and chronic pain in other places... I also see a certain someone in this city who nearly made me unalive and screw my body up and past stalkers, so it's unsafe to go in certain areas. I have agoraphobia for those reasons and have to be careful. Once I move out of this city, I will be much safer from those types of people who want to cause me harm. The police are not helpful and claim they're unable to catch this person when I gave them the whereabouts and have a restraining order against this person.
@amiablePeace77
My purse it has my asthma meds it always goes with me meds if walking I just take my meds …
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Good that you stay on the safe side and take your meds with you!
