What an amazingly inspiring and informative week this #MentalHealthAwareness week is!
I thought I would share how I handle the crushing depression, general anxiety and crippling brain fog that I get (or used to get) with my Lyme Disease and Fibromyalgia.
Watch this video for a much more detailed description of what it feels like and how I handle it, but here is a quick summary ….
- Crushing depression – is Vitamin B – get your Dr to check your vitamin and minerals if yours feels like the one I describe.
- Anxiety – get moving – my local beginners dance class is key to handling this
- Brain fog – Omega 3, 6 & 9 oils and Circulation are key to improving this. Plus tap dancing or playing the piano to improve the synapses in my brain.
But most of all it’s about accepting who I am and working with it, instead of against myself – I am who I am, and that is someone who will always need to look after myself, even once I am symptom free.
I have created my own system to deal with the ups and downs of life called ‘Heal your life’ which incorporates journalling, affirmations and meditation – very simple, but deeply powerful and empowering. I incorporate it in my 6 month membership program ‘Be healthy, fit and slim’ because I believe that health is the priority and self-care and emotional health are key to that. Remember, if you support your body, it can then support you in the ups and downs of life.
