rescue remedy or alternative?

[AuntieMaggie]

I'm down tot he last few drops of my rescue remedy and wondered whether anyone could recommend an alternative or if I should stick with it?

Work is particularly busy at the moment with me being the only one in the office at the moment and I'm starting to feel a bit anxious about this and xmas and stuff.

So what do you think?

I personally think flower remedies are hocus pocus, but if it works for you, and you're happy spending your money on it, why not?

But instead of medicating yourself with things that probably don't work, why not just schedule in some rest time, a pamper session, or an early night? That's sure to get you through xmas and a bit of stress at work.

I swear by RR pastilles - they help me so much when I'm anxious.

But...just because you are the only person in the office doesn't mean you can do everybody's job! You can only do so much. Don't run yourself ragged, it isn't worth it.

rest time? Yes that'll be xmas eve/day but not before!

I am trying to keep on top of everything as I know the office is going to be busy in the new year but am saying no to plenty. Most of the work is my own but it's just all come in at once and when there's nobody here to help!

I'm not running myself ragged but just need something that takes the edge off when something happens that stops you thinking straight, like when someone's horrible to you on the phone or you look at how much there is to do and get anxious. Does that make sense?
