Question:
Thanks for the greeting. I am not doing well. I am suffering the worst depression I have ever had. The last one lasted 6 months and this one is now into about its third month.
My son is doing well, but unfortunately, his uncle, my brother, committed suicide in March. I think he was developing schizophrenia. Which has made me worry how far these high's and lows that I get are going to get worse as I get older.
All in all,
Well at least I am stubborn. Always have been. That is why I am still here, and despite everything. Why I can still smile, (just a little) and why I still have hope.
On another note. This schizophrenia, bipolar, whatever is weird, almost every single prediction I made is now playing out.(some haven’t yet, which I worry about more) Not the first time in my life this has happened, nor do I expect it to be the last. It is a gift I suppose, unfortunately painful for me the afflicted. I guess I am calling out for help. I am scared.
Response:
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother my friend :(
From what you said about predictions...please know that thoughts are powerful forces that attract that which we focus on consistently. They are energy frequencies that shape reality.
Try to focus on what you have...
not on what you don't have.
What you want in life...
rather on what you don't have.
Solutions rather than problems.
And beauty and light rather than darkness and despair.
Take daily steps that guide you toward your goals and life’s purpose.
Action in the right direction gives the mind a sense of control…and reason for existence.

Exercise
Regular exercise creates healthy and happy chemicals within the brain. Circulation is another important element of exercise it enhances the circulatory process which bring nutrients into the cells and excretes the toxins.
Avoid Toxins
Toxins interfere with our brains ability to function correctly so limit as much exposure to these harmful substances as you can.
- Do not use pesticides
- Avoid highly processed foods with chemical names that you can’t pronounce
- Do not smoke
- Use natural beauty products (all lotions etc. that we place on the body are absorbed into your bloodstream through the pores of the skin. Most lotions etc. have many chemicals that impede healthy brain chemistry.
