Oh, yeah. I was about as D as D gets - every day, sometimes all day. You're in a little different situation since you seem to lean A but I'd still probably keep going up on the Acacia. It should help you manage more IF. And I do push my IF more toward the end of the day.
I take 7 teaspoons of Acacia per day.
As for pre-emptive anxiety, I hear you. I'm at the point now where pretty much the only thing that triggers an attack (other than eating off program, of course ) is worrying about having an attack. Put me, oh, say, on the Cross Bronx Expressway in sluggish traffic and my tummy acts up. (On the bright side, I can report there's a McDonald's on Jerome Avenue with a nice bathroom.) I started the hypno and it seemed to be helping with this then I got sidetracked and dropped it. (Okay, not too bright.) I'm going to go back to it after life settles down a little.
I hope this afternoon goes well.
Take care.
