Antidepressants...why couldn't I take them now?

My last post was about the lack of Serotonin and depression. And most of you probably thought that I began to take antidepressants when I discovered my husband's affair and became so distraught and angry. Well, I couldn't take them. Several years ago, I was going through the hormonal changes that a... Sign in to see full entry.

Continuation of Serotonin...what to do?

6. Exercise to feel good. Exercise is a natural stimulator of many important “mood” hormones, including serotonin and dopamine. Don’t think of exercise as a chore to lose weight or prevent heart disease “someday”. Realize that 15 or 20 minutes of exercise every day will naturally release these... Sign in to see full entry.

Serotonin………..what to do?

For light cases of the blues, or stressful days, there are plenty of things you can do to elevate that feel-good hormone, serotonin. Here is what I found on the web that makes a lot of sense to me. I have added in “bold”: There is quite the plethora of mood-elevating, serotonin-enhancing products... Sign in to see full entry.

Serotonin……… an insight to his brain.

I found an article on the web one day that Serotonin deficiency is one of the most common signs of depression. It can range from just feeling melancholy to extended periods of deep depression.

I had just looked at them before I made it………………

If you have been keeping up with me, I am planning a birthday party for all my close relatives who has had birthdays this month. There are seven of them. I thought it would be a nice gesture to give them a $10 Sonic gift card this time. Yes, it is from the “winnings” I have put back to help others... Sign in to see full entry.

A Letter came today...

Have you ever thought what the purpose of your hurt and suffering was about? I am more aware of others’ hurting now because of my hurt. I think when you go through a life-changing pain, you develop more compassion for your fellowman. Yet, the bible says everything you have gone through has been done... Sign in to see full entry.

Judgmental attitude…………….

One morning as we were at the casino my husband sat next to a woman whom I met several years ago and we talked for quite some time. From our conversation, I realized she was as addicted to the machines as my husband was, but she proceeded to tell her sister-in-law after she got home, about seeing us... Sign in to see full entry.

What is a Christian to do?

Sitting at the machine, I slip another bill in and lights and noise begin going off, and I say to myself, “Lord, what am I doing here?” I’ve never had too much to do with casinos and lottery tickets and such.

The Healing Tree

In the midst of my pain I wrote a story about the vision I had of the prodigal son. Some of you have already read about it but I wanted to put it in a story form. It has become a daily thing each morning to visit the wooded area. God gave me this place to come to that I might share my heart with him... Sign in to see full entry.

Who is in Control?

If you have been through or going through a great trial and suffering in your life, know this. God is allowing it. There is nothing that He does not know and yet you wonder how a God of Love and Purity would allow this much pain and suffering? I asked myself that question many times throughout my...
