Hi Mumoflots
I'm wondering whether there's a part of you that wants to continue looking for natural things that might work. In other words, things that might naturally alter your psychology and biology. By the way, I'm not opposed to medication as it can make a seriously positive difference to people at times when they really need that positive difference.
The reason I wonder about he natural angle is based on a few things you mention:
- You've experimented with natural ways in the past
- You're very conscious/tuned into the health of your body, based on looking for/scanning for any outstanding differences taking place (wondering if there's anything going wrong, so you can fix it). In other words, trying to sense unease or dis-ease in your body
- Not liking the feeling of not having a choice in certain sensations (that 'out of body' experience). You want to be in or master control of the sensations you experience
Of course, there are a lot of natural therapies relating to psychology or biology, as well as therapies that address how we tick holistically (mind/body/nature). There is one being given a fair bit of attention these days. Most wouldn't actually perceive it as a natural therapy. It's diet. The study is 'Mood and food'. It involves how our gut balance or imbalance impacts our mental/physical chemistry and well being. Specific diets will impact energy or metabolism, hormones, our gut microbiome (which impacts our moods) etc. It can also support that mantra 'My body is a temple'. In other words, some folk are highly conscious of what chemistry they're putting into their body for optimum performance, such as elite athletes. They are very conscious of what drives their machine/body. The findings within the study of 'Mood and food' strongly link psychology with biology. Diet is of course not a 'cure all' but it may make a significant difference to some, in the way of chemistry. Wondering if any professionals have suggested the idea of seeing a dietician who deals with the complexities of mental health chemistry.
You sound very conscious of what you do and don't want for yourself. Have you ever been led to wonder about a variety of natural therapies? Maybe you could create an interesting list for yourself. Could be a matter of trial and error regarding experimentation, seeing what works and what doesn't.
As I say, I'm not opposed to medication, just wondering if you're more of a natural therapy sort of person, whether it's an instinctive thing for you.
