Love this! Yes to being open to all avenues of help and healing. If you haven’t yet specifically tried grief counseling you might consider it too. Sending lots of love healing vibes and encouragement. Xoxo

LOVE YOU! Yes, waking up is like standing under a waterfall looking up with your eyes open. Not the most comfortable but also so refreshing. Please keep sharing your journey. I'm joining you!

OMG. Yes. Yes to all of this. Oooooh I felt the toothpaste comment so deeply.

My background is naturopathic medicine. I've seen miracles, but I also know that I have walked around unwell for almost 50 years. I watched clients who came to me get better after medical doctors said they had no hope, but I closed up shop because I felt like a fraud. If I couldn't help myself, was I really a good example? It didn't help that I was struggling with undiagnosed neurodivergence and experiencing six kinds of abuse. Shhhh minor details because women are supposed to suffer silently.

This piece of writing is beautiful. I was a Christian Scientist for 30 years, and medication is not actually forbidden. But spiritual healing is definitely the foundation of its teachings and chosen over medication the overwhelming vast majority of times. I have found a stronger connection to myself, my spirituality and healing outside of the church (because church is run by humans 🙃 and I also don’t need “spiritual rules”) but it still felt right to make that little correction to the info on CS. On a separate note: YES to medication or whatever feels right to you. Much love ~Amber

I felt the same way about medication for a long time. I lived with crippling anxiety for years before finally accepting that I needed help. I’ve been taking Zoloft for a few years now and it’s made a HUGE difference! Hugs to you, and thanks for sharing your story so bravely and honestly!

You definitely are not alone. I can relate to so much of this, especially the part about craving the comfort of the world you once knew. Thank you for sharing and making others not feel alone 💛

I started Zoloft in 2021 and it has made a huge shift for me, dare I say a Spiritual shift! 💕 Whatever works for you is what is most important.
