Remedy for nerves and being over anxious

[oddthing]

I am going through a tough time at work and am anxious about 80/ of the time what can I take to calm me ?

Exercise really helps. Can you get out at lunchtime for a brisk walk?

Sleeping badly too and my heart races am 47 could it be menopause related ?

It could. Have you been to the doctor? GPs can be really helpful about this kind of thing.

Magnesium. Take 400mg after your evening meal. Helps relax you, and can help sleep too.

Talking it out with a therapist was the only thing that helped me. That, plus exercise and other self care like not bringing work home, eating well, a not drinking too often. Does your employer have an employee assistance programme you can tap into? They can normally offer telephone counselling for free.

I feel for you, it's a horrible place to be and puts pressure on your other non work relationships. Hope you can find something to help you start feeling more yourself.

Valerian really works. Kalms night (4 tablets not once a day one) is pretty much just Valerian. If you google what a day time dose of Valerian for anxiety is it equates to about 1 tablet. Easy to get hold of from most big supermarkets and cheap.

Magnesium and zinc both help

I started taking Magnesium too and find it really help.

thanks will check out valerian and magnesium. I do try and get out at lunch when i can but it's when i'm at home, I just cant' switch off.
