Im Trying New THINGS!!!

[@donnabennett7764]

I'm glad you are trying to do better on your own. I suffered from depression for years. The doc put me on a mild antidepressant (no it didn't make me a zombie). Over a period of 3 wks I could see I was feeling better. I stayed on them for a few years, until I was able to change what was happening in my life. At age 65, I am now a happy, loving, peaceful human. Been off my antidepressants for 20 years! Good luck in your endevour.

All the best to you Donna. ❤

@@bar-pet It's funny, but my mental health has taken huge nosedives whenever I've fallen off the veggie diet waggon. I know so many others that experience the the same, but i also know a few who have felt their best on the keto diet. I still eat eggs, and a poke bowl once in a long time, but otherwise plant based. Everyone's body is different, and we are omnivores, so it's just trial and error for us all 🤍🙏🕊

Al, calcium and magnesium fight for absorption, so shouldn't be taken together. It'd be better to take calcium citrate with D3 (easier to digest) with breakfast, and magnesium citrate (easier to digest) later with lunch, supper, or at bedtime. ❤

Eggs are good natural food. If you really want to avoid the big farms find a local person or raise your own chickens. Fresh eggs are so much better than store bought.

Thank you for the update! I'm so proud of you for tackling the anxiety and going with natural things first. Nosy question from someone with a degree in counseling. Is your doctor helping you identify anxiety triggers and helping with behavioral techniques to work through it? You don't have to answer that, either. Love y'all, and i pray things are getting better.

You're sounding really well on your way to "you!" D3 is great for muscle health and has helped my old age muscle spasms. I've heard of Sam-e but not really read details about it - until now. Adding new foods gradually makes it much easier to pinpoint possible issues. Keep on rockin' and take care. Best to you all.

[@susanmayfield]

The canyon bakehouse has great gluten free bread products, that's what I use. Beach is a great place to go to reduce anxiety and relax.

[@19jarhead66]

Glad your better AL, hang in there, eat healthy, exercise, and get plenty of sleep. You’re young, your body can fight for you, if you keep it healthy, don’t over-tax your body, stay away from things that stress you. One thing that will help, don’t get into debt, try to pay up front for what NEED, ok to reward yourself every now and then, but stay out of debt if at all possible. I was going through what you have been facing, went through it for many years, finally got it figured out, you will also.👍🏼👍🏼

[@marieldavison5121]

Good morning AL ~ so nice to see you enjoying some down time with your wife just chillin enjoying a walk on the beautiful beach. I'm taking the D & B vitamins too ~ I once went all gluten free breads and stuff but keep in mind many gluten free products are quite high in sugar, fats and salts. 🍞🥐 Great to see you posting your health journey🥦🍎🥑. 🙂

[@mmurray9330]

I think its awesome that your incorporating whole fresh foods into your daily life! When I was a baby I used to vomit a lot, like projectial vomit! My pediatrician told my mom to put me on " NON FAT/ skim milk" Mom said it worked! A tip, when the meds your taking now cause you to feel jittery or some how? Your body is telling you to eat first before taking. Don't forget to inhale deeply and slowly, methodically. That helps your lungs and it requires brain thought. It also takes your mind off of unnecessary thinking. I'm happy that your taking time out for you. People need to do that so much more now a days. Swimming, hiking, fishing, camping, what ever you enjoy doing to decompress. This will sound strange but I watched a video on Y.T. and its the Cold Plunge. However no one needs to dunk entire body into a cold bath tub. But.. fill kitchen sink w/ water, with cold water and dunk your head into the cold water. This reduces any feeling of anxiety or tention from everyday life. It drops it at the speed of lightening. 30sec or less depending on how much can be tolerated is all it takes. Don't go overboard with it though. Incorporate more fish into your diet even if it tuna fish. Fish is excellent for the brain. Thats so cool that you found 2 sand dollars! I think your going to get your health right, it just takes time, as long as it takes? Everyone is different. Peace & love.

[@YukonHawk1]

It's good to see you taking life slow and easy to reset yourself. I wish you continued good luck and the best of health!

So fortunate to live close to the ocean! You can take long walks on the beach with your sweetheart. I used to love watching the sunrise over the ocean with a thermos of coffee, or watching the sunset in the ocean with an ice cold non-alcoholic beverage. Keep up the good work, you’re doing fine just as you are. We love the Bladez family!❤

[@charlesboyer5712]

Not a Dr. But I do drink Lemon in water ( natural lemon ). There is also a Liquid Magnesium that when put in water makes it take like milk. I sometime use it in coffee, but Magnesium is definitely a " Mood Lifter ". Good Luck. Love all you do!!

[@lindaintexas]

Looking good. Glad you are feeling so much better. FYI: Calcium supplements can definitely cause digestive issues-- painful gas, cramping, bloating. I've tried so many calcium supplement delivery methods and every time, I just can't tolerate calcium supplments. I"ve never had any other digestive issues in my life except calcium supplements. Best to get your calcium through food (and NOT not just dairy has it. Check it out.) Tums /Rolaids are loaded with more calcium. I'd definitely cut back. The magnesium, on the other hand, is great for muscle comfort and heart health. Thanks so much for sharing your life with all of us. We love you.

[@InspiredByGraceMotivations]

Nice to see you are doing better. Eating clean and healthy is important, too. A lot of our foods has chemicals and stuff in it that can mess some ppl up, as well. Nice walk on the beach! Thanks for sharing! Y'all have a wonderful week, God bless!😊🙏 Much love from the Rucker family in GA 🙏❤

Prayers for your recovery and for you to feel better very soon.

Thank you for opening the conversation about emotional/ mental health. It’s important & shouldn’t be seen as dirty little secret. VitD is an excellent recommendation. Many people are unknowingly deficient & can have many symptoms. I also take B6 &12. Tips for anxiety: the tapping technique, actually works. Can be found online easily. And meditation, absolutely works. For someone that is a pleaser of others, meditating is a set amount of time for yourself to clear your mind, cleanse your thoughts. Wishing you continued healing & health. Many of us have you in our thoughts and prayers.🌺

[@lolaottinger3038]

I’d like to suggest a channel I frequently watch belonging to Barbara O’Neill, is so informative, yesterday she was talking about morning sickness, something I suffered with throughout my pregnancies all day long, and she says it’s because of low magnesium! At age 80 I won’t be trying to find out if that’s true, but what a simple solution for something that can lead to hospitalization. She speaks on a variety of topics and for some reason I just believe her! I think it would be beneficial to check her channel out Al. And I think I probably told you that the first time I was aware that something was wrong with me because I just felt sad so much, I was 8. I tried explaining it to my Mom, and she said oh you’re just down in the dumps. There was no mention of depression at that time. Now we can speak freely about it, and seek help for it. No need to ever apologize, you didn’t cause it. 😊

I saw what looked like an older vid where you saved some bunnies too! This world NEEDS you! Stay cool, don't stop what you do. Please!

[@josephsenter6680]

Hi Al. I turned off restricted mode again so I can make a few comments. First, you mentioned that your stomach was giving you trouble before. Did you ever get tested to see if you had the Alpha Gal Syndrome from tick bites? I got that and found I could no longer eat certain meats. Doing so will give me terrible stomach problems. I hope that isn't your situation. Second, you've been very brave and honest to share your situation with anxiety and depression. I can sympathize because I have bipolar depression along with anxiety and some other things. Most of my life I went undiagnosed. After I got married, my wife told me one day that she never knew what was going to walk through the door when I came home. It made me sad to hear that. So I started getting help. Life isn't perfect, but it is much better. Anyway, I love you and all that you are doing. I'll be turning back on restricted mode again. It helps me not see certain content that I'd rather not see on KZbin. However, it stops me from seeing or making comments on good and clean channels like yours. So it is a double edged sword in a way. Anyway, take care and keep up the great work!

HI Al, when you cut out so many things all at once, your body will probably crave what you've taken away, especially sugar. Your brain craves sugar so maybe find it in local honey for nearby hives - orange blossom honey is absolutely the best! You guys have enough space that you might consider some backyard chickens. Chicken eggs from a private source tend to be more nutritious than eggs from an egg farm (store bought). Plus, they eat every tiny bug that may be living in your grass. Good job on your regiment! I'm hoping you find the answers that you need and I commend you on getting on top of it.

Hey Brother… Look into the gut benefits of Arugula over spinach and other leafy greens. Also if you eat salads.. Pay attention to how various foods actually interact with each other. Example: Tomatoes and cucumbers should not be eaten together. Each triggers different enzymes to digest and when eaten together it’s counterintuitive and causes stomach pains.

You drink Lactaid milk? Glad it works for you. Some people, though, find it doesn't work since their problem isn't the lactose in milk but rather the milk proteins and milk fats, which they cannot digest. Maybe Lactaid milk and Lactaid tablets will work for Al, though.

The first thing I would have done is NOT add spinach but I would have added cheese. Also, throw away that aerosol spray and use real butter to your eggs.
