I think low hanging fruit like cutting back on alcohol and sugar, etc go a lot further than natural supplements.

Big fan of ELXR life products — their “Chill” product has Ashwagandha and I really found I was able to manage stress better after a few weeks of taking it daily. Also love Focus I’d the more energy piece.

Maca, lions mane, and reishi mushrooms work better for me!

I tried it and it didn’t make much of a difference personally

I love it. People respond differently but helps me mellow out at night and fall asleep better

It helped me a lot, just overall helped pull me out of a dark place. My hunch is that I would respond very well to anti anxiety medication like SSRIs but I don’t take that. So I think I respond well to ashwagandha as well. Just tried lions mane this morning, hopefully it’s also good!

Try some mood focused probiotics, those really help me

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Yoga folks! I used to do yoga and exercise frequently. Things happened, getting back on the wagon. I'd love to work up to a daily practice even if it's just a few mins - but I do need to incorporate other programming as I've got some covid lbs to lose. For those of you who do yoga regularly, wondering how you incorporate and/or balance your practice vs. other types of workouts or if you mostly do strengthening type yoga in that case.

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there. Constantly thinking I’m trash, in a bad person, etc. Feeling guilty for things idek if I should feel guilty about. This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?
