Just wanted to update. I finally tried the tea. While it ended up causing a panic attack (when first drinking it since I was so worried about any effects) it seemed to work well. But I didn't get good sleep. Could have been because I drank it at 3pm and didn't go to bed until 1am but I used one tea bag and eck, it wasn't a pleasant taste. But all night, for 8 hours, I was in a much better mood than I have been in in months. It's not a "happy drug" or anything but my job really stresses me out. I'm a front desk clerk at a big hotel. We sell out quite a bit and let's just say the guests nor my co workers are easy to work with.
Well yesterday I tried it for the first time and I ended up having a decent night. I didn't get upset, rage or stressed the slightest bit and we were fairly busy. So I drank some more today knowing we would be sold out. I'm 5 hours into my shift and while I'm already ready to go home, I'm in a much better mood. Guests are even now saying I smile "too much", granted the smiles are forced because I'm at work, but it's much easier to force them now, they come much easier.
Not to mention the one and only negative survey I personally have had in 2012 was that I didn't smile enough. Now the last two days they are saying I smile too much... Hmm... Don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I feel so much less stressed out today than I have any other Wednesday night in the last year or two.
