Yeah sugar provides a good dopamine hit, same with music. I try not to eat too much sugary stuff but if I'm extremely depressed or something and having absolutely no pleasure in life sometimes a little bit is enough to lift my mood at least temporarily. Hard candy is definitely grounding when having a panic attack. It involves the senses and brings you back to reality a bit.


I have a bag of caramel apple lollipops. They're apple flavored green candy with actual caramel surrounding the whole thing, those can be helpful, they're really good too.


Here they are, you can get them at Walmart, they're by the brand Tootsie Roll
