   Ok. i know a few things that will calm your nerves and make you feel more as   
   peace with yourself. first thing to do would to drink "lavender tea". this   
   pretty much relaxes all your nerves and somewhat triggers the oxytocine to be   
   released into your blood    
   stream. another way to do this is by keeping a small container (preferably a   
   glass vial or dropper) with a lavender and spearmint oil. whenever you feel   
   stressed or whatnot smell the mixture. It works for me. if it doesn't work   
   email me and i can give    
   you a few more suggestions on stuff that can make you feel better naturally   
   without any side effects of medicine produced by your local pharmacist.
