Herbalicious

[glacier_kitty]

On Friday I had an appointment with a naturopath..mom wants me to get off the medicines I'm taking (they seem to be making me worse, not better) and I just need to be healthier. I had been curious about trying natural medicines too, so I wanted to go too. The naturopath (Aimee) said that the right diet can help relieve symptoms of anxiety and stuff..she said to go gluten free for a couple weeks to see if that helped anything, but that freaked me out, so I'm just gonna incorporate some gluten free stuff for now (I really need to lose weight, so I'm curious to see if that'll help with losing weight). Hopefully there are some yummy gluten free snacks I can find, since snacking is definitely a weakness lol. They can test you for food allergies, so maybe I should do that too (though it's expensive). Aimee also gave me a couple tinctures, one for anxiety/depression and another for a fungus on my feet (lol sorry TMI :P). She made them just for me, which is super cool! I'm supposed to drink a couple syringefulls of the one for anxiety/depression, and it definitely tastes SUPER planty lol..mom called it "herbalicious," which is a great word to describe it too haha. There are probably more things she could give me, but she didn't want to overload me lol. I hope the natural stuff works, I definitely need to be healthier and happier

That 7.1 earthquake in southern Alaska sounded pretty crazy..people even felt it up here! I was a little jealous of people on Facebook who live down there going crazy about it lol..though that big of an earthquake sounds scary D:

Wow, going to a naturopath sounds really interesting! I am curious to see if this does help alleviate anxiety and make you feel healthier in the long run - it does sound like it's a positive path to go down. I bet you can find lots of gluten-free items around that are tasty, it's such a common diet to be on that more and more places seem to carry such things (at least around here). I know lots of my clients who have autism are on gluten-free diets also, and it does seem to help with their anxiety and if their autism is more severe, it seems to help alleviate really negative behaviors. I'm curious to see what you think! Oh, and "herbalicious" is absolutely a fantastic word hehe.

Ohmigosh, I couldn't believe that earthquake! I heard about it here on the news lol. It reminded me of our Easter Sunday earthquake back in 2010 - it was 7.2, but it was like 100+ miles away. I can't believe that people up in Fairbanks even felt it a little! Wow.

Oh, and I meant to comment in your latest entry that I was happy to hear that counseling has been having such a positive impact already! That's nice to hear :)
