au naturale

so. i decided rationally that i was not going to go to psych today. i decided that i wanted to try the natural avenues that have been suggested first. karapist, naturopath and friends have all suggested and i know it works: massage. there are cheaper options than b who i love. i know that once i clean up my living space i will feel better. i know that when i am working and have student loan money i will not be too stressed about money. i can also try relaxation / meditation, AE gave me cd of guided meditation. acupuncture: i know this works. keeping up with stretching and strengthening my neck bc continuing to do that was advised. maybe see osteopath and / or PT when i can. take better care of sinuses. invest in an air filter or something cool. anyway. i do have to see her soon, but i didn't go today, plus i like to see karapist before so i feel prepped. or something.

i'd like to walk to the store. scratch. i'd like food. to do so would require walking to the store. it'll be good. i only have bread (the 2 end pieces). and uh, banana bread mix. the eggs are bad. and peanut butter. to the store. (probably later) (like when the sun goes down) (in the NIGHT!)

---hilldawg is off my punch-list. she sent support obama/biden's way. i want to know who mccain is gonna pick. i have wine again. i feel a little tipsy already. weeee

So, are you going to stop taking the meds that you're already on? Or, are you going to start adding a few holistic treatments to the medication you take?

Your health belongs to only you, so ultimately it's totally your choice, but I think it'd be an unwise decision to go off of anything right before you begin school. Then again, whatta I know?

hellllllllll nooooooooooooo. if i were to go off meds, now would not be the time, psych or karapist wouldn't agree with that treatment. we were thinking / talking about upping klon or starting lithium bc i still have bouts of depression (mainly situational - aka - money), too many thoughts and pain from tension.

i want to try what trained professionals and people that really care about me have suggested: massage, acupuncture, more physical exercise, relaxation, etc. if i try them and they don't work, then we can think about re-working meds.

thanks for thinking of me and my well-being :)
