I got a repeat prescription for two months worth of pills. After that, when I'm ready, I'm getting a prescription for half the dose and if that goes well for a couple of weeks the dose will be halved again for a couple of weeks before I can stop with antacids, hopefully.
After telling the doctor about the Family Thing, she agreed with me that the acid reflux is most likely caused by stress. And she also understands that Covid causes a lot of stress for me (hence the "when I'm ready" before halving the dose). She advised me to book an appointment with her to discuss how to get help with processing all the things that have happened since 2013 (and my previous problems I've had). I had already planned on doing that, but when Covid is mostly over.
Right now I'm preparing for a diamond painting session. I'm going to make a big cup of my favourite tea, get a bowl of snickerdoodle flavoured popcorn and find a new podcast to listen to before setting up my craft table, table easel and lightpad and stick some plastic on a sticky canvas.
