@olman Your last doctor visit left you “needing” more answers, but as you say, part of them weren’t even listening to you. Holistic or Western medicine, don’t have all the answers, especially in the area of mental health expertise. I say this from my own experience.
I am trying to have a more spiritual approach to life focusing on the simple things I can be grateful for. It’s hard to make that transition, boy do I know.
Gratitude is my goal although I’m busying completing other tasks that get in the way.
I have bought the latest best seller novel to escape in. The weather where I live is perfect to go for a walk. Going out to dinner with a friend or by myself awaits. Do any of these things bring you joy? Diet and exercise are important, but not what you really needed to hear.
Find something today that makes you feel alive and grateful. I will try to do the same. Prayer and positive affirmations can go a long way for having emotional safety in a difficult situation. Peace be with you. Hugs
