Keeping myself busy

[hils]

I'm trying to relax and enjoy my weekend without thinking about work and money but it's not easy :(

My parents both worked the night shift last night so they're currently in bed and I'll have to amuse myself for a bit. I'm thinking either Sims or icon making.

Has anyone ever taken Bach's Rescue Rememdy? Mum-Ra bought me some to help with my driving test nerves and I wondered how effective it was.

Well, I never took it but I put some in my cat's water bowl when Pretzel joined the family. However... I have a flist member that swears by it so give it a try.

Thanks!

I'm always a bit wary about stuff that you can take as much as you want of.

I've not taken it.

If you can get your hands on it though, get some St John's Wart. It's a herbal anti-depressant and might help with the job/money doom.

Does it work?

[flickums.livejournal.com]

It helped me out a bit last summer when I was fruitlessly job hunting and felt horribly HORRIBLY worried and low.

I'll take a look. Sadly lack of money prevents me buying anything non-essential right now. But if I get my £1000 back next week (which I'm hoping to God I will) then I'll give it a shot

I don't know if we've got any kicking around here.

If we did, I'd totally come up to Northallerton and give you some ^^

Aww! Thanks!

No worries. I'll muddle through

[flickums.livejournal.com]

But I kind of want to come to Northallerton anyway!

So I think I will.

*starts faffing with travel arrangements*

Uh...ok!

[flickums.livejournal.com]

Want me to bring anything with me?

Nothing I can think of

Like most things, Rescue Remedy works if you believe it'll work. It's not up to dealing with the horrors of my job, and it didn't help me when I was trying to learn to drive, but then, I don't think anything would. Good luck!

Yeah, I figured it was pretty much a placebo. Ah well, can't hurt to try I guess.

[phoebesmum.livejournal.com]

St John's Wort doesn't do a damn thing for me either. But, again, short of a hammer to the skull, I'm not sure what would sort out my nerves!

I took Rescue before all of my Uni exams and I think it helped. Also, we gave it to our cats and placebos don't work with animals, right?

That's a good point! Thanks!
