Mind recovery

Page 1 of 2Next

Hey everyone!

It's been almost 2 years I've been on this diet and I can say that I've recovered my health 70%. I took accutane in 2010 for about 4 months and It affected my mental health big time. I stopped being myself while taking it and It took about 10 years to start having feelings like I used to before  being poisoned by this drug ( VA poisoning ), this drug made me so depressed, anxious and it also made me lose my memory ( short and long term ) , it was like i was living in somebody else body and it felt that I was just floating and spacing out all the time. It felt like I had dementia or something and i couldn't do anything to help it. I was only 21 when I took it and I went through a lot these past 10 years, I lost all my friends and I'm no longer close to my family, not like I was before accutane ( this drug is so scary because it makes you feel strange ,it's  kinda you  lose your social skills and it makes you numb ).

The thing is that I am recovering and its like I am waking up from a bad dream, all my old feelings are coming back and I'm starting to feel like my old self again, it's difficult now though because a lot of things happened these past years and I am here now without friends and having this feeling that ive lost a lot these past years and I wish I could have someone to share my feelings and thoughts, but I know that nobody would understand what I was talking about or have been through.

I hope people have information about VA poisoning in the future and how it can mess your life up big time, clean face wasn't worth it..I wouldn't take it if i knew what i was going to go through after it.

I feel blessed to be where I am now though, everyday I feel that I am improving, it's a slow process but I am sure I will get there.. 

I wish you all a great recovery guys,  God bless!

Thanks for the update @sergio, I hope the progress continues.   I am approaching 2.5yrs and slowly becoming the person I used to be as well, it is a slow journey!

@orion , thanks man. I wish you all the best..I only know about VA poisoning because you posted an article on the acne.org blog on repairing the damage cause by accutane .. I am thankful and really blessed man, I was having crazy anxiety  and panic attack during that time and I had to quit my job..a few months later, I was able to get a better job..thanks a lot man.

@arena, thanks for your words. Things are getting better, altough im not that close as before..im getting closer to my mom , family and relatives..i do want to be part of their lives and help them somehow..you said it all, being a source of happiness to other is what its all about. I really learned a lot about life and what its all about through all this suffering.. I can see things better now  and I am sure that God shaped me into a better person through all these hardships, I think hes giving me health again so I can love others even more and help them somehow..having health and do nothing with it but just enjoy yourself would  be a waste

Sergio, 

 much love to you from the Eternal Source.  Remember that the single set of footprints in the sand are from the one who carries you when you cannot walk.  We are all here to awaken from the illusion of separateness, as you have done and I pray you are blessed to continue to do. Do not be afraid of the mystery.  Love is generative, so there is always  exponential love created when you give it away.

Hey everyone!

I'm very glad  I am able to share my feelings and thoughts with you guys and I am blessed to be part of this group, you guys are amazing people. Thanks everyone for the messages, I pray God bless each and everyone of you with love, health and peace. I am very busy lately with school , I work as an english teacher here in Brazil and we just started face to face classes last month, its been pretty busy lately. I'm getting better and better, as I told you guys, I was able to get this job almost 2 years ago when I started this diet because I started to get healthier, I was an english teacher before but  I was in such a bad condition that I wasn't able to work for quite long time..I must say that It's been a while that I havent felt this good, peace and calmness are the feelings that I am enjoying the most lately. The worst symptoms I had were anxiety and brain fog, these 2 have improved greatly and I am almost 100% again. Seriously guys, we take life and health for granted, It may seem that i am overreacting but when you are able to feel normal again after such a long time, you get very excited and you feel like you must tell this to everyone..well, I can't find words to describe all i am feeling but I am very happy ! I hope you guys are doing well and wish you all great health . 

 

take care

@orion for sure brother. It would be great to meet you guys in real life .Where do you guys live ?  I'm currently living in Brazil but I was born in Canada and i was raised here ..I lived in Canada during my youth years, I intend to go back there to see my friends and to visit some places I didn't have the chance to visit while I was there.. if you live in Canada or the U.S , we could probably meet one day man.

I am on this diet now for about 2 years and 3 months and I can say that it was one of the best decision i've made. 

I wanted to tell you guys how I am doing and what I am doing to improve my health lately.. Like I said before, In my case  the worst side effects were the mental problems and I had already seen some great improvements by February this year, my side effects such as anxiety, memory problems and brain fog continued to improve and I can think more cleary now...

I sometimes feel a bit frustrated and sad with all that happened , It's hard to think that doctors give this poison to kids , teens and young adults to treat such a problem like acne. I've had some dark moments, got really angry with myself for taking it and with my doctor for giving it to me , but I understand now that we were all brainwashed by the big companies and government. I felt it was better for me to let it go , it's also part of our recovery.  As your body improves, your mind and soul also improves.. I'll start  therapy now with a psychologist as I think I have gathered lots of traumas with all these years of bad mental health , although i'm frustated and sad with all that happened, I am starting to understand everything better now and I'm accepting all of  it and I am sure it's good and healthy for me. I see what's been happening to me lately as a miracle and I am sure I will continue to improve.

I've been taking Ubiquionol ( coenzime Q10 ) and vitamin k2.  I was sunbathing about 4-5 times a day , lately I've stopped it due to my work schedule, it was really beneficial , I did it for about 2 years straight . I drink only distilled water from my water distiller . 

My diet consists of rice, beans , potatoes, beef and sometimes chicken. I sometimes eat nuts, pineapple , bananas and lemon. I also use honey to sweeten my coffee.

I hope you guys are doing fine, have patience and faith , we will be 100% soon !! Take care my friends.
