Hello,
Just want to say me too, I sympathise with anyone going through this. I started a new job today, -practically the oldest one there,not quite but almost - I am a bag of nerves, no confidence and I look as bad as I feel (mainly thanks to new hair cut! ) I smile alot when nervous and find it difficult to maintain eye contact, so I come across as being a real fruit cake! Thing is how do you explain to people, I can't..
One thing I love that I can;t take myself and that is lemon balm. really wonderful stuff! It is simply the best, that and liquorice. I know I keep goin on about my herbs and teas, but these things help. Lemon balm relaxed me, helped me sleep too. I can't take as it affects my thyroid, (another boring story). I have read, that lemon balm normalises thryoid function, not so sure. However for what it's worth just a few drops of the tincture in some hot water helps. I think I may try it again.
Other herbs like valerian, oats, ashwangandha all help too. One tea that is brilliant is the Relax tea (orange) box by Pukka, marvelous stuff.
I hope this helps, I have tried these remedies and they work!
Best of luck! If you happen to meet someone outside scurrying around and talking 10 to the dozen...bag of nerves.....it's probably me!
