I take these when I feel stress getting to me beyond a safe level. I’ll send you a bottle if you’d like. These are the only vites that I can take even on an empty stomach which helps because I can’t eat when stress has me. And I don’t do supplements- except these. https://www.newchapter.com/products/perfect-calm-multivitamin/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAst2BBhDJARIsAGo2ldXcUie6lq6sCiGF8gVKiR98qtSREH2Z9gP4Xf2-P8lCi7dyC-t47KAaAoq4EALw_wcB

I would never have bought them in a million years but a friend sent me some when I was in the soup. I don’t take them regularly, but when I need them, they help.

My other go-to is poi but I bet that wouldn’t do much for you. Lmk if I’m wrong.

Hot Epsom salts baths help. The magnesium is magic.

Remember that stress hormones can be diluted by drinking tons of water.

Put your right hand on your heart skin to skin and breathe deep. I don’t know why but it helps.

Good luck sister.
