    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    I am no expert, no guru, no doctor, no psychologist, no therapist, no counselor, no body that can do anything other than be an ear to listen and a mouth to share my experience in life thus far. I hope that it helps you, even in some small way, to just get through one more day and then another...

    Thanks @RainstormZA :wink: I didn't know him well but I can only imagine how it is affecting my brother who has shared some of his darkest moments with him on his journey battling his addiction.

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    I heard this morning that one of my brother's friends who he went through his second stint in rehab with, committed suicide in Thailand after relapsing :disappointed: I have been too self absorbed of late but am thinking of anyone and everyone out there struggling. Keep struggling, it is worth...

    I finally logged on here after not doing so for a while and have been sitting in front of my keyboard not knowing what to type in response to what has been shared. I have been going through an up and down time the last few months, today is another down day where I am tired after not sleeping...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    And I am still learning... The last few nights I have not slept well at all, mostly due to early morning thundershowers keeping me awake and last night as I had a whisky too many. I know that sleep affects my mental state, so today I am not in the best place but luckily I am cognisant of this...

    You learn as you get older what your body needs and what makes your feel healthier. It is not the same for everyone, my preference is for LCHF foods.

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    I have almost preached this for a few years after learning how much exercise, diet, rest, social interaction, etc. affects my mental state after separating from and then getting divorced from my now ex wife.

    It can be frustrating waiting for test results, my girlfriend has had multiple blood tests the last few weeks, waiting for the last round which was done on Tuesday. Good luck with them! How is the CBD going? I wouldn't have recommended weening yourself off of medication without consulting a...

    #ITSOKAYTOTALK - Mental Illness

    I cannot stress the importance of being as healthy as possible in all aspects of life and the effect it has on your well being, physically, mentally, etc. When I was separated from my ex wife, I had a lot more time to myself and I did a lot of introspection and soul searching, trying to find a...
