I'm a 45-yr-old-lively-loving-Siritually-growing-woman...In 1981, I was labeled, drugged forcefully, and gained 70 pounds,after being a healthy model, and writing my first book at age 16. An insane childhood and abusive parenting was hidden with psychiatric drugs...for 20 years.
Bi-polar is a name, a label given out to match symptoms to medication. I was high and low, yes. But why? My diagnosis was a convenience. The truth was I was traumatized. I was fed foods I was allergic to. I was scared all the time. I had no parents for five years, ages 5-10, then I was adopted into an emotional-Hell that looked really good to the outside world. I was confused!
I managed to graduate NYU, and succeed on many levels. Winning my sanity, health and freedom are my greatest victories. Sharing my story to help others experience their freedom is my profound joy. Hate is fueled by lies and labels. I wanted to live the truth and let love guide me. I did. Supplements were my first step, and saving grace. They address the root imbalances and nourish the brain and body.
I spent 20 years deeply researching bi-polar, the root causes and the Spiritual journey necessary to let go of the lies and labels that suppressed me against my will. I was totally alone in my quest as the doctors poisoned my family against my inner wisdom.
My parents had the "best" doctors. The doctors told my parents to drug me at 16 years old. They did. They said they would disown me if I went off medication. I did. Again and again, without a clue how to do it. I fell again and again, back into their web.
I found out later I have an extremely high I.Q. and apparently an equally unusually courageous Heart, because I ran away at 40 years old to choose supplements. My family took everything I had to force me to stay in their game, so I had to leave with nothing. It is a long story, but the happy ending is I have been blessed to be supported to find a balanced life, with no bi-polar issues for five years; just plenty of life lessons, with inner spaciousness taking shape, and finding my wings.
Giving up all toxic, psychiatric medication and their labels was a gift of finding a doctor who understood amino acids, and integrative medicine and I worked with many therapists to get to the root causes of my myriad issues. A urine test showed my amino acids were completely imbalanced and we addressed those needs with great results immediately.
I lost the acne and 70 pounds lithium put on my teenaged body decades ago. I became strong and lean and healthy walking three miles a day and eating real food. I found a supplement program that worked to stabilize my mind. Foods that caused allergic reactions and changed my behavior were given up. 8 hours of sleep every night and protein to feed the brain were the first two miracle-workers.
I pray more people learn they are not crazy, so much as being suppressed and worthy of being free. It is possible. I am living proof. In 2004, I slowly weaned myself off of prescription medication with an integrative wellness doctor. Prescription drugs cause an imbalance. They MUST be given up over time, not quickly. You are not alone. Listen to your Heart first and foremost. Mine was right all along. I knew it!! Blessings on your journey. Peace is here! Even one of my adoptive-parents said recently, "Everything you said for 20 years is true."
