Stress and pain

I have a lot of trouble with stress. I have small dogs. For the past week I watched my family's dogs. It was overwhelming. Trying to keep the peace, trying to get their dogs to go outside to go potty, even to eat and go to bed. My dog was very territorial and upset. They left 2 hrs ago and I am still trying to wind down. So with having felt overwhelmed, I've had increased pain. Had to change what I was watching on tv, that was making things worse. Time to use some relaxation techniques!
