Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

If I drank that...my heart would go through the roof. They seem to have the market on energy pretty much taken care of. I wish they had something for stress or calming down. They have energy potions why not calming potions?

Agree totally Erica, I avoid that stuff like the plague. Plus, the people I know who have used them crash hard after about an hour or so in reality. When I was younger, and anxiety was not an overt issue, I ingested alarming amounts of caffeine and sugar to wind myself up and I actually enjoyed that feeling immensely. But, the obsessive, scary thoughts that came with anxiety put the kibosh on that!

LOL I hear ya quicksilver....I have to stay away from caffeine. I really found this out one night when I took an Excedrin for a headache and I'm laying there trying to relax and my heart starts thumping real fast and hard...I looked at the bottle and it had a pretty sizable amount of caffeine. Big no no for me....and probably most with anxiety. Take care. =)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
