shillyshally, loss of a job and a canine member of one’s family are major events. It is absolutely normall to experience anxiety and stress during such times. Routines such as exercise work well to keep the everyday stress levels under control, but when something major happens, I agree - new means of de-stressing often need to be added! When I stress over something that I cannot have control over, I find that accomplishing simple things where I’m in full control of the outcome are very helpful for calming my nerves: planting a garden, paining a wall, sewing or knitting something, etc.
