To put you in the context here, it's June 26 the of 2016. I will be having my left kidney removed in 4 days. I'm in a deep phase of anxiety and depression, not so much because of the surgery, sure but those phases I keep talking about.
I'm alone, as usual, crying and crying, feeling like shit, and through my tears, I see like something shiny near the patio door in my living room. I get up, I go on all fours as I don't have my glasses and can't see what it is.
It's a small beautiful rock, seems as though it had been polished, reddish color. I admire this rock, since no one comes to my place, the only logic thing for me is that it's from God.
I collect rocks as a hobby, and I know my rocks and it's not mine, plus I'm very ordely. The evening goes on, I can't stop thinking about this.
June 27th. Day after. It's noon, I'm talking on the phone with my friend. I'm n the living room, an ant waks by, I put my friend on hold as I take the ant and put it outside. I lift my eyes, and on the balcony, another rock, three times bigger, same polish with more colors. I almost lost my mind narrating this to my friend.
Now, one in the house and the other on the balcony, I live on the fourth floor with no one on top. Almost in shock, but I know where they come from AxleJames, there is no doubt in my mind. As Fishinghat had said, it's like God saying to me I AM YOUR ROCK.
Those rocks are magnetic. Museum of Science could not identify them unless I left them there for a specialist to have a look at them, no way, they said that those rocks are not found on sidewalks.....
They are sitting on my desk, and I look at them often. That's a miracle!

I am so sorry to hear about your domestic issues. I do hope they can be resolved for the sake of your anxiety.
But give yourself credit for getting through the day. Try to remain in the moment and let tomorrow take care of itself. Very difficult I know, but you can try Googling a little about Eckhart Tolle and the power of now. It is a very interesting philosophy to consider. Bloody difficult for those of us that suffer anxiety, but it might help you.

Like I said a few days ago Axle - you brain is not what is should be.
During withdrawal the chemicals get shifted. So whilst non-sufferers of mental health have a moment of anxiety/stress/depression, their tolerance starts from a healthy baseline of zero - or thereabouts. However, during withdrawal, OUR baselines are already halfway started BEFORE any such situations!
So lets say "situation A" occurs to non-sufferer and sufferer. The non-sufferer's tolerance moves to 30%. Not a big thing. They deal with it and move on.Now this is just about half the level of what we are starting with before any situation occurs. And then when the same "situation A" occurs to us, we are up to 80%. Something that cannot be dealt with easily, and takes a lot longer to move away from it.
Think of your brain having lots of these baselines for various emotions. We are working with a very skewed perspective.
Hope this makes sense.

I only ask because I feel like I'm teetering again once again maybe it's just stress and being tired but for a few hours I did feel good
Now AxleJames, you take note of those few good hours. Keeping a daily journal is recommended here. I'm glad for that break you got, at last. Others to come my friend. Love.

Dozens and dozens of plant based Omega 3. Take your pick. Remember, high in epa and dha.

Thanks guys - I have been reading just now about other sources - flax seed, hemp seed, rapeseed oil, but much like everything, it is far easier to have everything contained with a simple capsule.
Was also reading up about apple cider vinegar and the honey/cinnamon recipe. Sounds good.
