Essential The Mental Health Thread

[Larry Lobster]

I take ambien every night. It's real important for people to get a good night's sleep (especially bi-polar people like me). Maybe see a doctor for some sleep meds.

What does bi-polar means?

Every page Imma up this and recommend y'all to start supplementing with vitamin D. a low enough D deficiency can mimic mental illnesses/disorders and cause other problems. anxiety,depression, SAD, low testosterone in males, cognitive disorders, low immune system/infections/flus, osteoporosis, and cancers can be all be caused by low levels. My aunt had breast cancer and they put her on high levels of prescription vitamin D after getting the mass removed and radiation. She was severely deficient. A blood test (25-hydroxy vitamin d) is needed to see where yall levels at. The normal range you want is around 40-60 ng/ml. I had insomnia, infections(strep throat) and the flu for years and it was all caused from a deficiency. Havent been sick since in 3 years and sleep like a baby

Today was such a bad day for me. I started working at Publix (s grocery store) about a month ago.. I'm a cashier. This is the most social job I've ever had. And j struggle with bad social anxiety. Had horrible anxiety all day long and I was all over the place. I didn't notice how bad it realky was until one of my managers said something to me and asked me if I was okay and I was like "why?" And he told me I seemed off the wall and all over the place. Then I xalmed myself down a bit. But when I left work and was walking out the door I almost cried. I don't even know why. But wow what an awful feeling. fukk anxiety.

yooooo, my cuz bought me a book on just that topic a few years ago

www.amazon.com/Origin-Consciousness-Breakdown-Bicameral-Mind/dp/0618057072

At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion -- and indeed our future.

basically the writers theory is that all early hominids had schizophrenia or schizophrenic like delusions early on in mankind's evolution, as time went on these delusions left the majority of human beings but stayed with a few (thus is why we had prophets that went onto found some of the biggest religions today)......these "mental illness's" were a byproduct of an evolving brain getting bigger and becoming more and more conscious and aware



Interesting read and worth checking out
