something else, just to help me over a difficult few days/weeks coming up. This probably sounds a bit pathetic, but in the next couple of months we'll be having a new kitchen and bathroom put in,which will be a big disruption. I find anything like this totally throws me and get very stressed - I have OCD anyway and manage it well without meds, but I fear that the extra anxiety might make it difficult to cope. I just want to feel calm and as relaxed as possible.
I have hypnotherapy cds which I use to calm myself but feel that a bit of a chemical kick might be in order to help me over this. What do you think ? Many thanks in anticipation for advice !
