General unwellness what to take

I possibly ate something iffy on Saturday as I had quite a sore abdomen yesterday.

That seems to have gone but I have a coming and going headache, feel generally exhausted like I could sleep for a week. I also have a general feeling of nervous anxiety, jaw clenching and racing thoughts.

I've just had my period so was not at my strongest and I am going through a period of work stress anyway. I also started antidepressants recently and I'm now on third week of 10mg. I've slept most of the weekend including mid morning siestas on both days. However I've given up trying to sleep tonight due to racing thoughts and have instead been listening to sleep sounds and playing a word game in my head which has calmed the racing thoughts. I also had an Epsom salt bath which helped slightly.

I can't afford to take the day off so what can I throw at this?

TLDR - fatigue and anxiety and headache and slight nausea - what to do or take.

I'm thinking migraine medication, lots of water, relaxing lavender spray, magnesium glycinate, a bunch of vitamins, hot water.

Update - my soup and juice strategy is paying off, I have no brain fog!

I feel like a new human. The relief of just feeling normal again is amazing. I'm sticking with porridge, eggs, soup, bread for a few more days!

I’ve been taking the order supplements- similar to diorylyte, fosphor (has b12 and iron but not to be taken if you have issues with these) paracetamol, loads of fruit veg and comfort foods x Hope you all feel better x
