3 years ago, in 2017, I was diagnosed with Major Depression and anxiety. Even though the diagnosis came, I know I had been suffering a while longer than that. I had what I call “freak outs” about 3 and a half years ago and had to stay home and not return to my second year of college. I had to go to the ER twice for suicidal thoughts and actions.
I wreaked havoc in my family as I unloaded EVERYTHING that has ever bothered me, hurt me, and affected me.
I lost control. The flood gates had opened and there was no closing them.
I was admitted into an intensive outpatient program, IOP, where I was FINALLY diagnosed with a mental disorder and MAJOR depression and anxiety.
There I was prescribed Cymbalta.
I was deep in the depression hole. I was home for a while working on myself and letting the meds take its course.
I felt pretty helpless in a lot of things.
Getting out of bed was almost impossible most days.
I felt like I was moving through molasses.
I spoke slowly and would forget what I was saying half-way through my sentence. My mom worked so hard to help me and got me things to try to brighten my day.
I ended up going back to school.
The first term was impossible for me. I ended up getting my dog up to school with me to be my emotional support and that helped a lot with coping, but it still hurt. Then I met the man of my dreams and he helped facilitate a ton of healing and gave me things that I needed in order to improve myself.
This was when I began to learn about the gut- brain axis and how important it is for mental wellness.
I didn’t believe in holistic products and was hesitant at first, but I decided to just try it out.
Since taking these Natural gut-brain- axis products,
I got OFF my Cymbalta and have noticed these changes
-Decreased Depression -NO more panic attacks -Resiliency Amplified -Brain fog GONE -Ability to think straight -Memory maximized -Ability to function/ get out of bed -Improved school performance and attendance -I feel better than I ever did on medication -I sleep better -Less nightmares -More energy
I still have bad days here and there JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE but it is nothing like it used to be!!
I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have gained about the Gut-Brain Axis and how it has completely transformed my life.
