Oh dear, I'm so sorry! Here's sending you hugs, encouragement, and warm vibes...

Now, for stress relief methods...

Pleasant-smelling aromas - potpourri, candles, scents in your bath, incense...

Lie in a dark room with beautiful, soft background music. Or, instead of music, use sounds of nature such as thunderstorm or ocean waves.

Go for a walk in a wooded park.

Add a cat or dog to your life. Instead of a kitten or puppy which can be a high-energy little poltergeist, choose an older animal that loves to cuddle.
