Beautifully written, Anna. I also used to have a little handbag stash of things I kept for 'safety' including an out-of-date Rescue Remedy! I'm so glad you've found what works for you now.

The first two paragraphs of this piece as well as the detail about eating your hair in the subway are so vivid and powerful. I wanted to wrap my arms around you little 9 year old self. I am glad that a small pill has been able to do so much for you.
