These kinds of stories are so important, particularly for people suffering from anxiety similar to yours, and I say that from the perspective of someone trained in psychology and psychiatry.<BR/><BR/>Though why you showed up on my site as David I'll never understand!

I have very, very much enjoyed this series. I've been thinking lately about how ill I feel most of the time and know that I need to break the coffee/stress cycle. This personal history has been inspiring. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I barf on the Pill as well.

It's just so much fun, as you well know.<BR/>I know SO many women who've had troubles with The Pill that now I think that it's a horrible, horrible thing. My own Pill story is pretty yucky, too.Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953517447164263617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-43955593452482948502007-03-30T20:49:00.000-05:002007-03-30T20:49:00.000-05:00I will definitely check out Dr. Weil -- the conven...I will definitely check out Dr. Weil -- the conventional treatment I take for my disease works fine for certain things, but not for others. I do suspect more attention to what I eat might help -- the holistic approach just could be the ticket to move me in that direction.<BR/><BR/>And the news fasts.

I started taking it for energy and something else (obviously not memory), but am glad to hear about its effects on anxiety too.<BR/><BR/>My favorite aunt loves Weil and has passed some of that information along to me, but I've never actually read one of his books. I think I'll check him out now.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704189465052882543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-87155522439202918542007-03-30T14:38:00.000-05:002007-03-30T14:38:00.000-05:00Wow.

I have to admit that although I believed the philosophy, when she first started getting into it I thought it was hokey new-age stuff. That was probably 10 years ago. I should probably check it out.<BR/><BR/>Gastrointestinal health is so important. A friend of mine talks about the show Oprah did all about bowels and bowel movements. I didn't see it but my friend (a health freak and NOT an Oprah fan) raves about it. <BR/><BR/>Sugar Daddy is amazing. It's amazing that the two of you were able to find out how you worked. I always try to treat people's challenges as naturally as I can, hoping that they understand that if they ever need to ask for something, they know that they can.NotSoSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782162947524115936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-57109494256565782752007-03-30T13:18:00.000-05:002007-03-30T13:18:00.000-05:00Cin, thanks for sharing this story.

However he does have serious stomach problems. Every evening when he comes home from work, he spends 1/2 hour in the bathroom. I always thought he was escaping us (me & the kids) but your story makes me take his trouble more seriously... I think I haven't been supportive enough. I always figured he'd take care of himself.

You must feel so glad to feel like yourself again. Thank you so much for sharing this.
