While you're waiting, Nichole, try the "lemon thing". (You know, squeeze a lemon or
two into a glass of about 8 oz. of purified water. Drink it, please. If you don't feel
calmer in 4 hours, repeat the process; that should calm you down as much as you wish.

The understanding behind using the lemon is that, while it tastes very bitter--and it
is high in citric acid--it is digested as one of the most alkaline foods we can ingest.

If the fluids and tissues of the body are kept at a slightly more alkaline state than an acidic one, the feeling tone is much calmer, and the emotions aren't so easily triggered.

You might wish to try it; some of us have had success with it, and I use it occasionally when I'm irritated or upset.

Let us know how you get along, please.
