vocal/mental health update

I went to a dr. and It wasn’t what I thought it was. the medicine I take for my bipolar disorder is causing mouth and vocal spasms which messed with my voice. So now I either have to change meds or...tbh i’m going to look into holistic routes. I have been on medicine since I was a child. I have gained over 100 lbs due to medicine. Something needs to change..

does anyone know of holistic remedies/healing for bipolar disorder?

Coffee-less update

I am actually starting to enjoy the taste of tea in the morning. It also gives more pure energy than jittery energy.

Spirituality, Western Medicine, and "Wokeness"

I have been taking steps towards my spiritual journey since last year. Along the way, I have come across a lot of ppl that have felt entitled to my particular methods of going about this. I personally do take medication for my bipolar disorder, because at the moment it's what works for me. There seems to be a heavy rebellion in the "woke" movement against western medicine and mindset, which to me is interesting, because a lot of the spiritual practices they follow have been watered down by western culture. This world is a melting pot of information, especially in the US. To think you are getting untainted information is a form of arrogance, which they tell you to kill in those kinds of teachings. I am not advocating for pills, I think everyone needs to do what is right for them, in their own time. Because everyone's journey is individual and personal to them. I just feel that being preachy, and forcing view points on others can be just as bad as religious movements that ppl like this are so desperately trying to break away from Tackle everything from all perspectives with balance.
