I was wondering if anyone else has a special snack or food for when your having a bad day? For example i like fizzy and bubbly drinks so i keep apple cider on hand for when i need something calming and happy.

Whenever I feel upset, fed up, or wound up about something, I tend to lose my appetite and not want to eat anything until I've completely calmed down.
But what really helps to settle my mind is a nice, hot cup of tea, especially Earl Grey or green tea.

Yes, I would rather not name the specifics (paranoid that people will find me) but my mum gets me a lime-flavoured water and a kind of chewy candy when I am stressed, and always before an exams.

(I love your avatar BTW!)

Mt Dew, terrible unhealthy… But slightly better than drowning in alcohol.

Utterly flavourless carbohydrates, such as plain rice cakes, bread crusts, dry cornflakes and unsweetened oatmeal.

I feel that Doritos (cool original), chocolate chip cookies, orange/blackcurrant juice and water are special to me :)

I like a special kind of cheese snacks from Trader Joe's. They're very crunchy and tasty.

I like hot drinks but it doesn't really matter whether it's coffee or tea. Too much coffee isn't good, though.

When I was a child, I lived in the Bahamas. One of the families there was British. I went to their house one day and was invited to have 'proper tea'.

Been hooked on tea, milk and a bit of sugar ever since. So, yeah, hot drinks for me too.
