Hey my name is Tirth and I am the founder of Spryer Crates. I was in my third year of undergrad when I first began to struggle with my mental health. I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong, but I knew that I didn't feel like myself anymore. My thoughts were racing, my chest was tight, and I had a constant sense of unease that never seemed to go away. I tried everything to get back to normal. I went to therapy, tried medication/supplements, and even attended a few support groups. But nothing seemed to stick. I couldn't afford consistent therapy, and I had trouble staying accountable with the wellness modalities that I knew could help me.

I decided to go to therapy and at one of my sessions, I decided to interview my therapist about every modality that was research-backed. I wanted to know what had worked for other people and what was worth trying for myself. I took notes on everything she said and began to incorporate those practices into my life.But even with all of these tools at my disposal, I still had trouble staying accountable. I would start to meditate, journal, or take cold showers for a few days, and then I would stop. It felt like I was making progress, but then I would always fall back into the same negative patterns.

That's when I had the idea to create the very first iteration of the “Spryer Crate”. On one of my "good" days, I took everything that I knew could help me and put it into a box. I included guided meditations, a journal, a list of affirmations, and other resources that had helped me in the past. Then I put the box under my bed and forgot about it.But when the bad days inevitably came, I remembered the box. I pulled it out and started to use the resources inside. It was amazing how much easier it was to bounce back when I had everything I needed right there in front of me. I realized that for me, it wasn't just a collection of items, it was a symbol of empowerment, a reminder that I could get through anything if I stay consistent with what I knew I had to do. This “Spry’d” life into me.Over time, I added more tools and resources to the box, and it became a lifeline for me. I tried to systemize the process so that other people could reap similar benefits and alas, Spryer was born.
