Sad and Stressed

Roxanne
My husband and I adopted the most wonderful dog named Kenobi and it was love at first sight! But after a while, my allergies got so intense that we had to take him back this morning. Not only were there allergies, but Kenobi required a lot of attention to the point where I felt like I wasn't ever getting to see my husband or spend time with him because of all the time Kenobi required. But I am 8 days away from my period and cortisol levels are SUPER HIGH, and that is probably making the whole situation of taking Kenobi back a lot more dramatic. What can I do to help lower my cortisol levels? And get through this situation as gracefully as possible?
