my heart is a glorious machine;

I find that going for a long walk somewhere out of the city (with or without headphones) often helps, as does Dr. Stuart's Tranquility Tea. Most health/whole food stores, or possibly the health food/tea aisle of the supermarket will carry some sort of soothing medicinal tea, and just plain peppermint is usually good for dealing with nausea. *hugs*

Also, the new layout is quite lovely. :-)
