Nope, not at all.

They also gave me a prescription for something to help calm my nerves but since I really don't like to take pharmaceuticals, I just learned to deal with it using deep breathing. It also helped to vent my frustrations to my husband when I got home. He very patiently listened to my rants without trying to fix things for me. It seemed like once I got it "off my chest" the stress decreased.
So, in other words, Lilac, don't hold it in. Just vent here and maybe that will help.

I had those palpitations a few days ago. I have Xanax in case of emergency, when a day is looking bad, but the other day I took it after the pain started and it did nothing at all, unfortunately. I vented off earlier to my mom, but really I just don't like my job, and feel trapped now that I have this house to pay for and to top it off I have no idea what I want to do
