HOW ARE YOU?
I mean it, how are you?
Really, how.....are....you?
How many of us are quick to answer " I'm fine"? When underneath we are not. We are struggling, trying to cope with feelings that get
worse, not better over time. Every day can be a constant spiritual battle with ourselves where the rules of engagement are not known. Symptoms of:
Feeling sad or down a lot of the time, even when there’s no reason.
Feelings of despair that you can’t escape.
A lack of feeling or emotion. You don’t feel anything and have lost the ability to feel happy.
Feeling exhausted and lacking energy all the time.
Continuous and long mood swings, when you change from feeling happy to despairing, sorrowful or angry and irritable.
The things that used to give you enjoyment or make you happy leave you feeling numb or uninterested.
Feeling that you don't want to talk to family or friends.
Difficulty concentrating or a losing interest in your work.
Putting on or losing a lot of weight.
Different sleep patterns. You might not be able to fall asleep or you can’t get up in the morning.
Some women suffer from postnatal depression after having a baby.
Feeling guilty for doing something terrible or feeling worthless as a person.
Feeling so bad that you think it would be a relief to die or hurt yourself
If you are feeling any of the above, the first thing to do is talk to someone. The most important thing is to deal with the problem and not to ignore it as feelings of depression not only affect us on an emotional level, but also can have an impact on our physical being. A homeopaths approach is to carefully listen to you as you describe and express your experiences of distress. After an evaluation, a homeopathic remedy is chosen, specific to you, one that matches your unique experience. The first homeopathic remedy I took myself was a remedy called Ignatia, which I was given for post-natal depression. It gave me the strength to start fighting back by showing my body and soul, the rules of engagement.
If you would like to talk, I am here, you are not alone. www.westcorkhomeopathy.com
