I am an anonymous person on an internet forum with no relevant qualifications other than being badly harmed by a drug. For all you know, I could be an idiot.

April 15Apr 15 Author Just an update, since im starting to become more 'spiritual' again, I started meditating again.Yesterday I did 2 meditations, one was 5 minutes and other was 7 minutes and in the sun.Today I did a 15 minutes meditation, it's a walk in the park for me, since i need to keep that certain mindset when I deal with symptoms, meditating is not much different but it puts you in a different state of mind that's very good.

May 6May 6 Author Update:So I have been doing pretty much the same, dealing with fatigue a lot, doing well in my spirit, having bad days and better days.My mom is officially off all the drugs she was on, for not that long of a time, I helped her get off the anti psychotic that she did have issues at first but could taper it in a few months with smaller steps, and she stopped the antidepressant on her own appreantly 2 months ago without issues, so at least that's passed me.I have been exploring a new interest of investments on singulat companies, it seems you can make a lot of money if you have money and read a lot about company and do the right risk assessment with the data and knowledge you have, you need to learn to read data, it is pretty enjoyable for me, and im gonna start making investments on companies after learning for a bit and doing risk assessment on things.

We can’t predict anything with certainty, but it’s good to constantly remember it 🥺also it's good to keep a good spirit, a good spirit helps heal the body.My mom told me in the past more than once about a center she knew about in the US for people with terminal cancer that doctors gave up on, that she heard about when she worked there with my dad, and basically that group focused on guided visualization and stuff like that, and the thing is, 50% of the people there healed, people that all the doctors gave up on and had no hope of healing and are gonna die according to the doctors belief, 50% of them healed.The spirit is more powerful than people think, yeah you are still gonna struggle with wd, but the moment you stop believing the ups and downs, and just do what you need to do and stay mindful, it's way easier, and I believe helps you heal, there is a clear connection between your spirit and the body, most people are reactive and do react with their emotions and get depressed based on physical things, but you can be proactive and power your body through your spirit being strong.

May 30May 30 Incredible. These centers are a blessing. But then who took care of them if there weren’t any doctors?I watch Jamey Carrington’s videos on ytbe. He says he doesn’t even want to have a normal body anymore because God healed him. I had tears in my eyes listening to this. Definitely an example of successful spiritual healing.That’s true. Thanks to a positive mind, people can overcome many hardships. We forgot that, that’s why we accepted the medication. The solution was within us, not in the medication. When I say in us, I don’t necessarily mean by the sheer force of our minds (even though I think that was the case for some), but just to have taken the trouble to try other methods. To be accompanied with tact and patience by people who knew the subject. That’s all we asked for. people for whom the medication is clearly intended at first, such as suicidal, no longer leave their beds etc, I am convinced that there are other solutions for them too.I even read the testimony of someone who asked to be interned and said she didn’t want any medicine, as soon as she arrived. She benefited from group activities, psychotherapy, etc. She stayed there for a while and recovered. This is proof that no case is so desperate that it requires drugs... it just takes longer and people don’t take the time anymore (patients want quick solutions, and doctors want to give quick solutions).

May 31May 31 @Lighty I'm sorry to hear you're having difficult days. Nothing I say is medical advice, it is simply my opinion. I am an anonymous person on an internet forum with no relevant qualifications other than being badly harmed by a drug. For all you know, I could be an idiot. You are making your own decisions and part of that is deciding how much to listen to my opinion, if at all. Perhaps you should consider this post an artistic work of fiction written for entertainment purposes.
