A cheap alternative to Bipolar medicine

St. John’s Wart is a herbal supplement that contributes to a more positive  mood health. There has been studies to prove this all over Europe. Just by Google-ing “St. John’s Wart” you get over a million websites.

I can tell you from personal experience it does work. I take 1 capsule 3 times a day to control my moods. Normally, I don’t notice a difference but the people around me do. That’s all that matters.

St. John’s Wart is available at your local Wal-mart 150 capsules (which equals 50 days or almost 2 months if you take it regularly) between $6 – $10 depending on where you live.

As soon as I can afford to go to a Psychiatrist, I am. But for now, to help stabilize my moods and to keep my world from falling apart, I use St. Johns Wart.

If you do decide to get it, do yourself a favor and don’t smell it. It smells horrible.

That is all

Life: an update

August22

Since Grandma’s passing, I have been really busy. I got a job. I pay $100 to my boyfriend every week for rent/bills/food. I usually spend my free time either sleeping or catching up on my shows with the DVR’s help.

In a week though, all that is going to change. Why? Because that’s when College starts. Now, I’ve never been one for working while going to school, but I have to. I can’t quit school and I can’t quit my job. So I’m going to be doing both. Luckily, my manager already knows before hand, so I just work nights and weekends. This should not interfere with my study times considering the fact that I’m only taking 3 classes. Er, I’m hoping anyway.

I have been getting ahead though. One of my classes is German, so I’ve been using Rosetta Stone when I can. I got some things down like colors, noun tenses, and certain foods. It’s really interesting actually. I’m also listening to Tokio Hotel in both English and German. My favorite song in German is Reden, while my favorite song in English is Ready, Set, Go!

My other classes are Developmental Psychology and American Popular Music. Pretty easy compared to learning a new language.

A good majority of my friends have left. Either to escape from certain other people or to go to their college or Grad school. This makes me sad, but I wish them all the best.

Our Memorial Day Weekend

June9

I don’t even know where to begin. Life changed so dramatically just by one phone call at 5:30 in the morning, not any morning though. The friday morning that fell on Memorial day weekend.

We couldn’t sleep the night before. We were restless and something was bothering both of us but we weren’t sure of what it was. Not even 4 hours after we fell asleep, we got a phone call. The worst phone call of our lives. Grandma passed away in her sleep.

After that phone call, we got another one from our dear family friend. He told us, what we already knew just to make sure we knew. After that, we could not go back to sleep. So we reluctantly got out of bed (still in pjs) and went to McDonald’s for breakfast.

After we finished breakfast, we went back to what is officially our home to shower and change into day clothes. While I was in the shower, our family friend called us and told us to meet him at the nursing home  to gather all of grandma’s things… her things that now belonged us, but will forever be her things.

McDonald’s breakfast does not agree with my belly, so I spent a few minutes in the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, my boyfriend frantically tried to call me to tell me to stay in the bathroom b/c they were bringing out grandma’s body, but I left my phone at the house. Luckily, my tummy was really upset, so I  didn’t see it. My fiancee wasn’t prepared to see his grandmothers dead body, and he knew I wasn’t either.

After getting everything back into the house, I got to work. There were things in grandma’s will that had to go to family up north, so I had the task of labeling everything that had to be wrapped and taken up north to the family.

People were coming in & out of our house all day. I had to go shopping for a new dress to wear to the funeral b/c the family is very conservative and catholic. Instead of mourning grandma’s death, they celebrated her life. Which there’s a lot to celebrate about grandma. She was such an amazing person. I miss her so much. She was an only daughter, a hostess for the USO, graduated top of her class, married into a BIG (and I mean BIG) family. When her and grandpa couldn’t have kids, they adopted. When their daughter passed away, they adopted her son (my fiancee). She worked for lawyers, a University, schools, and she gave all that up to be a parent volunteer at the school he attended when he was little. She’s been on cruises to Alaska, and South America.

After spending 3 hours at the mall I found the perfect outfit and went back home. I rested for an hour or so and then we went out to dinner at Applebee’s. After that we got busy packing our bags for the road trip up north.  We didn’t get to sleep til 1 am.

That was the longest day of our lives, and the official beginning of our life together.
