Eye opening experience

So I had an eye opening experience today. My bishop (clergy) called both my husband and I into his office today, I thought for sure that it was to give us a calling (job in the church). Boy was I wrong. The bishop noticed that I was sad recently and wanted to know what he could do to help me. My husband after he met with the bishop (we met individually) asked me if I had been taking my pills as for the last month I have been down, depressed and negative. I have not missed one dose of medications that I can promise. I am about out of my 3 month supply and will need more soon. I guess that since my hubby and my bishop have noticed that I must seem sad. I am a very shy withdrawn person and keep to myself in public places, I have met a few people in the congregation but I am not one to go up and talk to people. In fact this week the Relief Society (women's group) had an activity and I didn't go because I didn't want to go by myself. Yes I could have met people when I got there, but I really was having massive anxiety about it.

So my hubby and I have been talking this afternoon and I am going to find a different psychiatrist as I have told her that I was 'down' and depressed and she didn't suggest medication increase of change. There is a psychiatrist at the place where my counselor works that is into innovative and 'buddha' type healing as well as medications, which is right up my 'voodoo' alley as my hubby said. I am very into holistic and natural methods of doing things. I didn't open up to my bishop like I should have, I just don't like talking about it, we did talk about different things that we could do to increase the spirit felt in our home such as reading the scriptures, family prayer, family home evening, having a picture of the savior in our home. The bishop actually gave me a picture of the savior to get a frame for and put in our home, right now it is just on our mantel. I am blessed to have a clergyman who is so in tuned with the spirit and could tell something was off. I have a counselor visit on Tuesday so I will talk to her about things as well. Lets just hope that I can get an appointment soon with the new psychiatrist. Any how, I decided to share this today with you as I tend to just 'go with the flow' and haven't really noticed that I have been depressed, sad or down, but apparently since my hubby and my bishop both noticed it, I must be, I feel bad that it took them talking to me to realize it. I need to be more in tuned with my emotions and my feelings.

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues.
