It's been a long road, but I love you!
So ladies and gents, here it is. A breakdown of my breakdown lately. I've suffered with PTSD for about two and a half years know. See here. Recently, I went to see this Chiropractor who also does wellness and what not, and she suggested I get my adrenals tested. So I did. On a level of 1-7, seven being the lowest function, I got a six. Yep. That explained the extreme exhaustion, lack of weight loss, and motivation for much.
Bounce ahead to today. It's been one week since I started to take these new supplements and feel better. I'm loaded with; B complex - with Calcium, a super multivitamin, Super Concentrated Cranberry Extract, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Iron, Flax Oil (for Omega fats), biotin for hair and nails, lowered my Paxil dose to half, and will half again soon so I can wean off, added Wellbutrin back in on a low dose to help balance the Paxil nonsense, still take my thyroid medicine, sleep more than I used to, practice real breathing and yoga more often, drink more herbal teas, and if you read all of that, I'm impressed.
It's been some sort of rollercoaster I have been on, with this adrenal problem, but now that I am on the mend, I feel better. I have to remember I can't take on so much at once and that I need to do what I can, and do my very best and not more than I should. I think overload was a big part of my adrenal fatigue, because I constantly lived in a stressful situation, I would stress on top of other things and drain myself totally. Thank heavens for miracles!
Anyway - I'm grateful to feel back enough to get a post up and to feel a bit more alive again. I thank you for your patience in this life-long journey we have. May you find peace and love with all that you do.
