My partner was just discharged from pain management yesterday for suspected abuse. I'm having back pain in the mooring. Feel totally overwhelmed. Trying to stay calm.

Do that pattern and it will drop your heart rate and therefore your anxiety. You should practice it now so that it's easy to do when your nerves ramp up.

Best wishes and hugs.

Thank god for you guys on DU
