...forgot to mention that my med intake is close to zero after turning to aroma-therapy with essential oils. 100% pure all natural....way it should be. and they smell awesome.
It might not be the essential oils, it might be the conscious, relaxed breathing. Breathing exercises can be very effective for controlling anxiety. Sounds odd but it does work. Had a couple of tough years myself and it helped me. Prayer is the most beneficial thing, though.
