Re: I screwed up.

Hi Shelley,

Well here goes:

1) Pitta dosha
2) O blood type
3) Symptoms - Persistent mild acne, very oily skin and hair, open pores all over face, skin prone to redness and flushing, feel very hot and sweaty, hot flashes, sweating episodes, terrible depression, anxiety, stress, IBS, diarrheoa, gas, muscle twitches, poor wound healing, slow finger nail growth, blurred vision, poor concentration, brain fog,
4) I guess you know what I am up to now!!
5) No allergies

I believe that most of my problems are caused by the stress I am under. In 2002 I carried out a detox when I was made redundant and I transformed my health, body, and mind. I became a different person. I had amazing energy, focus, clarity, all health problems disappeared (after the healing crisis). However, since then I have regressed to how I was before, yet I am doing the same things in terms of diet and health protocols. This has particularly worsened over the last 7 months when I was under great stresses.........studying hard, financial worries, skin problems (which greatly distress me and cause me great fear and anxiety), broken heart. At the moment I feel like a square peg in a round hole. I am in a very well paid job but I have no interest in it. It bores me and I hate every minute of it. Yet I cannot quit because I have nothing else to go to. I would like to train and work in the field of nutrition and naturopathy but I need to pay for training and that will take a few years. In addition, I have debts to pay. I am in a catch 22 situation. However, I don't feel as if I should be this unhealthy and unhappy. It is a viscious cycle. My skin flares up if I get stressed and that stresses me out more, then the skin gets worse still. The whole situation is a mess!!

I have faith in clearing up my problems naturally as I have seen what great things can happen when a healing crisis and a detox are carried out. However, I believe that to bring on a healing crisis and really improve my health one needs to be in the right mental state otherwise the negative emotions and high cortisol level in the body prevent and healing from occurring. Yet in my current predicament I don't know how I am going to attain that right frame of mind. Everything feels so difficult at the moment!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
