For what was going on last week, my Ogham give me Quert (Apple) or Delight ill-dignified. This indicates that you're not "stopping to smell the roses" and that is why your anxiety got to an all time high. In my last lifetime, I was a very rich widow who wanted for nothing. My second marriage was for money. I died sad, bitter, and alone. Much of this was because my two sons were killed as young men in the World War, but I also got to an age where all my friends and loved ones were dead. Because my past incarnation had it so easy, I was tasked with learning the lessons of being much poorer this time around. I have found the Stoics, especially Epictetus, to be exceptionally valuable in navigating my reactions to financial downswings. It took me a long time to detach from the comforts of my upper-middle class upbringing. I also find that praying to Jesus (the kind one of the New Testament) has helped a ton. There is no such thing as financial security -- if you have it in one lifetime, you're pretty much sure to lose it in the future lifetime so you can learn the lesson of why nobody should ever get too used to it. The richest people in the world are the ones who will become the poorest: unless they are compulsively generous like the late George Michael, they'll most likely end up getting the short end of the stick for many future lifetimes in order to redress the balance of what they took but did not earn.
For what you might do to heal yourself, they gave me Ailm (Elm) ill-dignified. Ailm Transcendence and it implores you above all things to keep your sense of humor. You've been overly serious and Quert ill-dignified says that too. It's extremely easy to focus on the negative: we are biologically wired to remember stressors so we can survive! My Ogham say you need to document and meditate upon a few of the times when you made excellent decisions/what you knew was right and were able to either personally triumph, help others, or both because of them. Then use those meditations to help you deal with the current set of challenges.
