Anxiety over a purchase

First I want to thank you for your suggestions.  2 teaspoons of olive oil has noticeably helped my blood pressure for over a week.

But now I see it going up again as I just made a major purchase (mattress) and already wondering how it will work out even though I get a trial period where I can do an exchange.

Can someone offer advice on how to not to have anxiety over this decision.

Thanks.

One post recommended olive oil for high blood pressure.  In reading about it, the benefits seem good especially extra virgin olive oil.

I have an anxiety over major purchases and minor ones. Just remember that you have a trial and if it seems like it is causing too much distress then maybe you can wait for another time. But if you need a new matress than it will be ok and a good night's sleep is sooo important.sometimes you have to splurge on these items as hard as that is. Money is a major cause of anxiety in itself. We have 8 kids all together and I often wondered how I ever kept a roof over our heads. That's why I say sometimes I had anxiety over minor purchases. I always found that when in need it always comes from somewhere. My advice. ENJOY IT!!!!!!!, and if you don't like it and if it's not exactly what you want give it back. One question I have what is the deal with olive oil and blood pressure. I have high blood pressure and I think I read something somewhere about olive oil. Can you fill me on on that.
Have a great night's sleep. I needed a new mattres so bad so we bought a nice air mattress for my back and neck so I can adjust it to my physical problems...
Take care..

Being that anyone has yet to respond, I'll give it a try!  :-)  I know all to well what it's like to worry about money being that my husband is a sole provider of a family of four and often time we barely make ends meet... But this large purchase seems to me to be a very important item in every home, and a quality mattress is priceless to those of us who suffer from anxiety!  Lack of sleep, or disturbed sleep only heightens our anxiety!  I am sure this is something you NEED!  I am in no position to advice you about money matters, but I've found that things always tend to work out, and we live from check to check.  I hope this helps you!
