Confession of Depression

I have a confession that we have been discussing on another post. I deal with anxiety and depression everyday. As I have discussed, eating organic and my general improvement in my diet have helped me lose 20lbs. Unfortunately not all of my negative symptoms have left even with the bio-identical hormone therapy I have added. Ultrahound brought the new book of Dr Hyman's to my attention, which does discuss hormones and much more.

In Ultramind he is addressing the conditions of the mind that affects so many people it is honestly boggling. Oh yeah, my mind is usually boggled. I do not always check out the blogs, because they seemed to change so infrequently. However, the new book is being profiled now and will be worth your attention if your struggling with any of the mental health issues of today.

I often joke that I "cheat" and still am losing weight, but it is most likely the reason I continue to battle within my mind for a day of happiness and contentment. Dairy is an allergen for me and I know it, yet I continue to have it almost everyday with my cereal. This is my favorite breakfast, but I believe my favorite life would include a clear mind. Letting go is the hardest part of any life change. I still struggle with letting go of smoking and it has been 14 months now, so this next level won't be easy.

Restarting the USD in the beginning of the year, (shortly after the holidays not a New Year's resolution), was my initial goal anyway. I can tell the other changes I need to make are holding me back, but I never connected my gut with my brain in such a specific way. I was glad to hear in one of the blogs that many of the benefits will be noticed in days or weeks not months, since another year of this heartache seems like more than I can handle. My order for the book will be made today and by January, I should be finished reading and ready to begin the next phase of my healthier life.

One day at a time to a healthier life.

It would be interesting to do a study of smoking cessation groups and to see if there is a lower "fail" rate when ultrawellness is taught along with it and is accompanied with a ultrawellness phyician adoing intensive one on one and group care of the smoking cessation group by the ultrawellness physician or nurse practitioner.

mhall24--hang in there with taking good care of yourself one day at a time-- to a healthier life as the goal. You have made a lot of good changes and have been an encouragement to me. holidays are a tough time to be sick- keep doing the things you know you need to do as much as you can- and be kind to yourself during this month(and the other 11 months too)

ultramind just came in the UPS shipment today. I am about to start reading it. I ordered it through amazon

I think I have just been trying to do more than I can handle. Over the last few weeks I have had to take naps again, which was not a need for several months. I really wanted to get more organized, so I cleaned out almost every closet in the house and refinished and painted several things just since the first of the month. It is just so frustrating when I do start to feel better then I get active and crash both mentally and physically, but I know this and often do it anyway. Like now.

Thanks for the guide link, while I wait for the book I can get familiar with the information. Now, since I would really like to feel human for Christmas, I think I'll skip a few projects and be kind to myself with an ultra bath a few pages of the guide and some Christmas music. Thanks for the encouragement and the reminder that it really is one day at a time.

I am finding the video blogs by Dr. Hyman to be encouraging and uplifitng. His enthusiasm is contagious. He has a series of videos on the ultramind solution- #s 1-3 i believe are avaiable on www.ultrawellness.com/blog

here is the third one i just watched- i put it in full screen mode- it encouraged me. I know I have a lot to do- but one step at a time. I ate some sugar today- christmas food- but i am not getting down about it- it is time to fix dinner and I am going to cook " ultra well" lol. one step at a time.

New twist

I hope this new book gives a different twist on his perspective, because it seems a little like a lot more of the same. I will say that although I basically understood the UM book, I tested in the sever range of all the test and just tried to focus on areas that seemed obvious with the hormones, omega 3 and other supplements. I had no idea which one was the most important and how to identify where to start.

The one good thing I can say today is that I lost another 3lbs, but I have not been eating healthy at all this week. Since I was so busy I usually ate breakfast and dinner, but lunch either was skipped or just an apple. Two more days of too much to do and not enough time, but maybe I will lose another couple of pounds. After the holidays, I think I actually will take the time to drive to one of the Ultra Wellness trained doctors although they are in another city at least they are closer than Dr Hyman.

Well I need to get busy, again. My bath really helped last night and I will slot time for me again tonight. I feel better today and will only do the necessities. Have a Merry Christmas and be careful driving up there in the midwest. I am originally from Illinois and see they are having snow today, but we are suppose to in the upper 70's, bah. Let it snow.

One day at a time to a healthier life.

Did you get to read any of the book yet? I ordered mine and the Ultra Prevention last night. Since the shipping was free for over $25, I feel like I only paid $5 for it. It will be several days before I receive mine with the holiday and weekend, but I should have it before the new year. Feeling better today. I let myself sleep in after finally getting to bed at 2 last night. Santa's work is never done, but the extra shut eye helped. Here's to a New Year with an Ultra Clear mind.

One day at a time to a healthier life.
