My artless exclamation aside, I am speechless over the similarities. I'm so happy you found me and my blog. And I'm even happier that you took the time to comment. I'd be glad to connect on Face Book or Twitter if you'd like to share more. <br /><br />I'm still shaking my head in pure shock.

Which lead me to search for shamans and dragonfly's(I love them and have been seeing loads of them the last few days over the summer solstice in amazing ancient sites I was visiting),which pulled up your site and being an eldest daughter who seems to be on a path of healing the family karma of depression and bipolar disorder that has been handed down to me,I was intrigued. I'm not on meds,I'm having shamanic healing,psychotherapy,massage,kinesiology and very good friends who hug me and allow be to be whatever I need to be,which is often feeling emotions I was unable to feel as a kid due to a hugely dysfunctional family life...... <br />And like you I haven't been doing all that my shaman told me and somewhere been quietly beating myself up for that,yet somewhere else knowing that I'm just not able. All my energy is being taken up with dealing with the day to day and retrainingmy thoughts from suicide and shitty thoughts. Thank you for your blog,it really helped to know that there are other people feeling the same.

I had meds for my meds. Same scenario as yours: nothing worked and there was no getting better; I was a train wreck. Then I had a spontaneous turn around. Still took years to crawl out of that hole, but it was progress.

But, I was diagnosed with GAD/given Effexor. For years I was hypo-manic/never had a clue-then I had the fucked up depression set in and no meds have worked. For 3 months-in the bed-then the other day-I woke up/felt great. No new meds-on the same-my pdoc put me on 7 different meds over 2 yrs/all I had a severe reaction. I'm happy with being happy(understatement),but when I wake tomorrow will I still feel good? Long winded way of saying I feel your pain.Tricia https://www.blogger.com/profile/03602581887359418103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809247075832777344.post-72115256590479158472010-06-19T23:07:08.338-07:002010-06-19T23:07:08.338-07:00I don't think you're cynical, Naomi.

For what it's worth, I was put on leave for a month because that's the length time I said it would take for my meds to stabilize. Crossing my fingers. <br /><br /><br />Thanks for commenting.

Maybe I am cynical but I see something between the lines, and that is that you are special, talented, probably on such an evolved level that the shaman couldn't 'control.' The shaman needed to know how to ride your wave, and wasn't qualified to be your shaman. The roles probably could've been reversed. And one other thing, another controller in your life, you do not need. You are your own shamam. Trust yourself.Naomi Litvinhttp://www.naomilitvin.comnoreply@blogger.com
