Re: How do I let go Of my past?
Hi Miranda
Congratulations on getting out and staying out of your abusive situation. Having positive, loving r'ships now is the key to going some way into healing your past.
Keep in mind, you must stop the violence and not allow any more violence against you, AND that includes violence against yourself BY yourself. Its a long and winding road, but just keep this mind, always. You MUST be kind to yourself, and you must put yourself in situations where kindness and respect is always present. Taking care of your own spirit is of utmost importance to being well and staying well. It is up to you, ALL up to you.
Regarding the meds you are on.... These meds like all anti depressants, anti anxiety meds etc, relax the body as well as the mind. The problem with this is that the colon and small bowel also relax and slows down digestion and elimination of faeces. This is why people who have been on anti deps and anti anxiety drugs end up with big tummies, IBS and sometimes end up full of parasties because their colons are clogged up with old faecal matter. I would really re-consider your dosgage and think of trying to reduce your dosage, with the view of coming off these drugs completely.
There are lots of natural ways to build up your resistance and inner strength. You may want to look into the topic of Adrenal Fatigue and some of the supplements for building these up. Adrenals are usually very overworked for someone who has experienced chronic stress and upset. Vitamin B5, C, and herbs for strengthening the adrenals may be indicated. You should look into this.
Best of luck and stay strong and true to yourself.
