The Healing born of shadow work

Staring in the face of your own shadow will tell you more about yourself than you ever thought you’d know. Looking directly at its face, and gazing into your darkest places holds more enlightenment than one might think. I have neglected my shadow for so long. I suppressed its existence because I was embarrassed of my flaws. But your shadow is the only thing that can reveal who you truly are, and level the playing field between it, and your true self….

Spiking Cortisol and Adrenaline Levels – This type induces, what appears to be, freakishly-rapid and dramatic spikes in cortisol (the stress hormone) and adrenaline levels. This, of course, comes with a host of anxiety-related symptoms and emotional symptoms as well. Spiked levels of these hormones can also induce insomnia and heart arrhythmia.

Mindfulness instead of Lexapro- Mad In America

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) may be just as effective as the popular first-line anxiety medication escitalopram, commonly known as Lexapro. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry in early November, is making mainstream news headlines for being the first to compare mindfulness training with an antidepressant directly. In addition, the results suggest that antidepressants need not be the only first-line intervention for anxiety.

The authors, Elizabeth A. Hoge, Eric Bui, Mihriye Mete, Mary Ann Dutton, Amanda W. Baker, and Naomi M. Simon, in their randomized control trial, found a noninferior reduction in symptoms of anxiety in participants that were taught mindfulness and mediation compared to participants who were given escitalopram.

“Anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental disorder, currently affecting an estimated 301 million people globally,” the authors write.

“Mindfulness meditation has been found to help reduce anxiety; a recent meta-analysis of trials with anxiety disorders found a significant benefit with mindfulness meditation compared with treatment as usual…Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MSBR) is the most widely researched [mindfulness-based intervention] MBI (over 1000 citations in PubMed and is available internationally). To our knowledge, no clinical trial comparing evidenced based MBI, such as MBSR, with a first-line pharmacological treatment for anxiety disorders has been published.”

Stop going on vacation with Narcissistic

Traveling with former was not fun , and certainly not hard to give up when I was medicated into submission .

Panic attacks resulted from dispassionate reactions including choosing to continue to party instead of taking me to ER after I fell .

In Hawaii, 1st day ; after eating shrimp and drinking Corona on the beach in Mexico , I became so I’ll a Dr had to be called in . Dr gave me a shot and left ; former turned to me asking if I wanted to go out to eat !!!!

Just needed a body to accompany him , I grieved for years at the lack of empathy and compassion!

Hard to have fun when trust is lacking

Soft

Soft

I wanna be sweet

And soft

Like my non tucked tummy

Like cool summer breezes

At dusk

After a long hot day

That sweep away the sweat

Like a butterfly kiss

Barely touching skin

Delicate

I wanna be protected

Defended

Assisted

I wanna be sweet

And soft

Like pink cotton candy

Melting on a tongue

Soft

Like mornings after

Like warm arms

And slow breaths

But this world

This air

This water

This earth

Requires so much steel

And still

I wanna be soft

fluffy

Like Cumulus clouds

Shape shifting

Seeing dreams and possibilities

As I float in sunset orange skies

But this work

This life

This year

These dragons

Require breathing fire

No knight coming for me

I don’t want to be saved

I know my power

My strength

My purpose

The gaps I stand in

My why

And yet

I long

To lay down my sword and shield

And study war no more

When the night air is heavy with summer

Lightning bugs light fireworks around my ankles

The damp smell of wet leaves and grass

Lingering in my nose

All I want to be is

Soft

Perils of Polypharmacy

It was definitely a pyramid of prescribed ( toxic to me ) drugs . The list grew with visits to General Practitioner/ Nurse Practitioner as reactions to medications became disease.

It’s a matrix that cost me dearly and I’m very blessed to have escaped .

I would appreciate less challenges to be able to share my experiences as the warning ⚠️ rather than the example .

MIA Podcast Interview with David Healy – Polluting Our Internal Environments: The Perils of Polypharmacy

“I see young people in clinics these days often who are on eight psychotropic drugs. The psychiatrists buy an idea which comes from the pharmaceutical companies. It’s a delusional belief system.”

Dr. Healy is a psychiatrist, scientist and author. He is a former Secretary of the British Association for Psychopharmacology and has authored more than 220 peer-reviewed articles and 25 books, including The Antidepressant Era and The Creation of Psychopharmacology and Pharmageddon.

He is a founder and CEO of Data Based Medicine Limited, which operates through its website RxISK.org, dedicated to making medicines safer through online direct patient reporting of drug side effects.

In this interview, we discuss the recently held World Tapering Day, a possible relationship between antidepressant treatment and sensory neuropathy and the difficulties that can be encountered when trying to deprescribe.

I digress – Hope Strait

I digress from emotional pain and sorrow, situations and conversations that attempt to pull me from my comfort zone.

I digress from exchanges that I know will leave emotional wreckage.

I digress from engagements that will trigger social anxiety, events that may be too cold or too hot or crowded or loud, or otherwise just too much.

I digress from angry people, explosive personalities, violence of any kind,

nitpicking, gossip, narcissistic behavior, and many other things I could list.

I’m not a hermit.

I have figured out my likes and dislikes.

I know where I am comfortable and where I am not.

I wear no specific labels. I am me. I do what I want.
