Is This What Getting Older Is?

When we are overcome with worries, we aren't living in the present or we are fretting about the effects of something in the past. This is where your chickens can help. They know only the present moment. Let them teach you how to be right here right now.

The purpose of life is to experience being here, to experience and savor each moment as full and unique. It's where joy is found. Sit with your chickens when you feel worried and let them anchor you to the moment you are experiencing. They can teach you this. It's the secret of happiness.

Your doctor could run some blood tests to find out what your hormone levels are. If you are female, you may discover you are premenopausal, meaning your hormones may be changing their balance. This can cause a lot of anxiety. HRT (estrogen for women) can help tremendously.

@azygous your advice is so wise and comforting. ♡
I can attest to much, here. I might add that, especially this time of year, my lack of vitamin D plays a role. And that part, fortunately, is easily remedied.

Thanks everyone. I may ask my doctor to see what my T levels are

Right now; I have a hen with a bacterial infection and think another is getting the same thing. I’m both anxious and aggrevated. Vet has already prescribed Clavamox for my favorite hen.
