Bidean

Yes, having a panic attack is tough, but have you ever felt it becoming much worse when people around you think you are having a heart attack? Or everyone starts acting so ackward about it? This paperbags speak directly to strangers around you. The experiences of panic attacks are very personal so messages differ. The bags also spread the word and claim the public space, so people experiencing this don't feel stigmatised.

Have you ever been waiting in front of the oven and thinking what is it all about? holding a wooden spoon which reminded you of your grandmas' soup? We give meaning to objects, and they remind us of experiences. Sometimes moving these things around in visual maps help us reflect on our lifes in a playful way, and what better moment than while waiting for those baked potatoes to be ready!

Have you ever felt a negative energy, something you can't quite locate or explain... visceral feeling of unknown origin? Did you ever find yourself trying to manage this by cutting papers or scratching your head? We know how you feel, and this aura fluffer will help. Next time you feel this way... give yourself a good lush and see how it goes!

A classic ritual for wellbeing, be assured that sharing tea will become a different experience with this two spouted teapot. This object was designed when founder of Bidean Erika was just starting to work within mental health through her MA studies at UAL. It is designed to prompt empathy, reflection and conversation, especially if and when you offer tea to someone in distress, it will become a great ice breaker!

Have you ever learned techniques to deal with panic attacks? Oh yes there are a few, if only one could remember them! This ring is meant to remind the wearer of what is happening and help him or her relax by looking through the little hole, and focusing all attention towards one single spot. It works, and of course, you will look fab with it. [Sizes S, M, L]
