End to depression from detoxing?
Yesterday was a much better day as far as energy and strength but my mood still wasn't quite right. Today I actually woke up in a decent mood and still had energy and strength. Could the depression be lifting? It's been just over a week that I started exercising again and I even got a little sun today for Vitamin D. Thank God, I see a light at the ( Read more... ) -
Toxins still in system?
I continue to detox using herbs of oriental medicine and feel the effects. As my energy and strength begin to return during week 4 of use, I still have mood swings and thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. I sometimes wish for a pill to just make it all go away.

Acknowledging growth
I am trying to see the positive in all the situations that come up these days. While riding out this wave of energy I am trying to avoid the downfall. So, today when stressed about money and upcoming expenses I realized that in my past, when I had a high, it included over spending on meaningless crap.

I had something else upset me this morning and what did I do to feel better, I went right for a cigarette. For some reason it made me feel worse though. I guess that's a good thing.

Ugh this weekend sucked. I had the worst mood swings I've had in a long time. I am hoping they were just triggered by my period and now they will subside. It caused a huge weekend long problem for my husband and I. I went to my therapist today and she said that she was glad to hear that we had communicated during that time and that my mood swings ( Read more... ) -
