6/25 for me please. I had wine yesterday and feel anxious today. I can't work out if I had the wine because I felt anxious or whether drinking it made me anxious. Either way I don't feel great today so if I drank it to stop feeling anxious it did not work...If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
