My 3 part series on health. (Part Duex)
This is part 2 of a three part series of health. To recap I identified the following three states of health.
Physical Health
Mental Health
Spiritual Health
In this series part 2 I am going to write about my own, “Mental” health. Long story short, “DISMAL!” I have suffered from depression since my twenties. In my 30’s/40’s/50’s it grew to a daily contemplation of suicide.
End result: After several years of marital counseling, prescription drugs and ZERO relief, I quit the prescription drugs, “cold turkey” and separated from my wife. There was ample evidence that quitting my prescription drug at that time would create numerous side effects, (one of them stoppage of the heart). That side effect fit in nicely with the daily suicidal thoughts. LOL! Yes, I am laughing! Insurance companies don’t pay for suicide.
During our marital counseling I was diagnosed as bipolar with PTSD. So much for labels. Never helped me one bit, except crack open my mind and let in an excuse for my erratic behavior.
Today the label is, HAPPY, HEALTHY, WEALTHY and WHOLE! Donut wisdom 101, The WHOLE Truth, not the HOLE truth.
In the last two years I found CBD. And in the last three months I found a better CBD! Called 10X Pure and it is CBD(a) which is a better quality than CBD and there is ample research along with a patent to prove it! Also I was able to purchase the product at wholesale vs. retail. That made me/makes me HAPPY!
I am not saying that my depression is cured! I still deal with it! What I am saying is that CBD has given me a baseline that allows me to stop the downward spiral. I can now recognize the signs and thought patterns that once lead me to daily suicidal thoughts. I am now able to switch those thoughts/patterns into a more positive frame. (reframing).
I have much more to say but have run out of time for today! Sleep, Sleep is also important! Consistent sleep!
