Hi,
Thank you so much for your kind message!
First of all, I just have to say—your profile picture caught my eye! I’m a total cat person too! 😻 I used to have a cat, but unfortunately, I can’t have one right now due to my living situation. When I had my cat, my stress levels were much lower. They truly are little healers for the soul.
Thank you also for the medication suggestions. I’ll definitely mention them to my psychiatrist during my next appointment.
I’m so sorry to hear about your son. I actually started having these issues around the same age, so I can really relate. My anxiety attacks different parts of my body depending on the time—sometimes it’s my stomach, and other times it feels like it attacks my heart with all sorts of scary symptoms. I truly hope he gets better soon and learns how to manage his stress early—so he doesn’t grow up dealing with it the way many of us have.
You’re absolutely right about nutrition. Honestly, I never paid much attention to my diet before, but now I realize how important it is—especially with anxiety.
Thanks again for replying to me. It really means a lot.💜
