I often get very anxious over things I have no control over, like animal over-population, the destruction of habitat, war, and over things that might happen, but not likely, like someone is going to hurt my pets. Last night, I was in a dither over taking some feral cats to be spayed at a feral cat clinic. I made up a terrible scenario in my head about how it was going to be a bloodbath. I knew that this was silly, that this clinic was going to be fine, and I would meet other people there who felt like I did about animals, but I still felt terrible.
So I took a Kava. This is a bottle from before the big furor over it, so it is 850 mgs of Kava kava root.
It worked like a charm. Before long, I was writing my story and not obsessing over unlikely events. It felt like having a stranglehold taken away, I could breathe, I felt happy.
The new Kava I got comes in 200 mg doses, which appears to be as much as you can get per pill. I did try two of the 850s a month ago or so and I thought that felt like too much. I can remember why--it just seemed like I had a light-headed feeling when I took that much.
