    Video Description: We all experience challenging times in life, that is a given. Whether it is because of financial issues, job loss, interpersonal conflict or loss, health struggles (including those related to prescription medications), or some other anticipated or unforeseen stress, we will all go through dark and difficult times.
    The question then is, how can we navigate such times without having them defeat us? How can we not only survive such times but in fact grow because of them?
    In this video, I cover a five-point plan for surviving tough times. I encourage you to write down these five points and try to implement some or all of them as you navigate your own challenges.

    Thanks Michael, really great advice. We have to choose to let the tough times make us stronger. By the Grace of God (my no.1 anchor) I have. I'm almost approaching the 4th year mark of living with psychiatric drug withdrawals, symptoms still there, but big improvements and I do believe in complete healing. A little quote I like is " God gives us dreams a size too big so that we can grow into them". Well wishes and dreams coming true to All. God bless 💞

      Yes. The windows you've had are signs that healing is happening, so try to focus on any and all improvements and positive shifts you see (rather than worrying about how you might feel many months or even years down the line - this just creates anxiety and stress that you then feel) . Bring things back to the present, make a list of improvements and windows you've seen, and just move forward one step at a time with hope. You're getting there!

    The tough times are the setbacks. I was improving after coming off 5 weeks ago, but I am badly affected by inhaling acid cleaner ( used for cleaning the house), as strong smell was there in the house, the whole night my head and body was jerking and shaking , I never felt like this before, ( may be it was like a mini seizer) it has been two days, my head has strange sensations and jerks.
    Will it go away ? Or it damaged by NS ? Can inhaling these strong smell causes neurotoxicity?
    I am so scared.
    Pl. Help

    Hi I’m almost 2 years out every month at my period I become insane. I pray this ends soon. Did it just leave one day or did it happen gradually? Mine may be really bad because of so much stress. I also ctd all the polly drugging at the same time.

    • @TheLovelyGrind

      Stress (and for women that "time of the month") always interact with symptoms and make things a little more challenging for a time. Don't get discouraged. Make a list of ways you can reduce stress in your life, ways both large and small, and try to implement those going forward. That helps healing and overall mental/emotional wellness! Keep at it!

    When was your last wave? Have you taken antibiotics without consequences or throwing you into a wave?
    I am 4.5 months off and am really struggling with reassurance that we heal.
    It seems like all the people that say they are healed still can have setbacks if they do certain things like drink alcohol, get anesthetic at the dentist, or take antibiotics, for example.

    • @TheLovelyGrind
      @TheLovelyGrind  Год назад +5

      I'll say it again, you'll heal, with time and self-care you'll heal. Just stop focusing on hypothetical negatives in the future, or worrying about every minute detail of other peoples' situations. I enjoy beers when I want and I'm fine. I go through stress and I'm fine. I get viruses like the rest of the world and I'm fine. You'll be fine too. I'm about 10 years off meds, just focus on getting yourself to 1 year. You'll be fine. Take care of yourself and stop torturing yourself with the worry ,or looking for constant reassurance from every worry. Just focus on self-care and moving your own story forward. You're doing good, just stick with it!

I started to feel way better around 6 months. I hope you can push through because it really does get better. i think will be 95% by 1 year. @@Radhey2223
