My GABA testimonial: From psychopath to a little normalcy.

14 days ago I had one of the worst flip-outs of my life! I did not like the person I was and how I was making others feel. So I made a decision to research natural alternatives to help with my mental breakdowns. I spent hours online going from one self-help website to another. Googling "best vitamins for mental health". A handful of people in my life know that all the screws in my head are not screwed on right. Some people may think I am exaggerating. BUT I am not. I needed help! Still do! The way my brain thinks sometimes is not OK. I think of worst case scenarios. Instead of being happy and letting things flow, I go straight to the negative, I over analyze and over think everything! Even as my BF says, "there is always a logical explanation". And I am over here thinking thee worst! So anyway, during my research I kept seeing people, therapists, YouTube videos, etc., talking about GABA pills (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid). Low levels of GABA can be linked to depression, mood disorders, anxiety. I have all 3 x10 plus like 15 other things! I finally jumped on Amazon and ordered some. I purchased NOW Food brand, 700 mg. Today is day 8 that I have been taking 2 in the morning on an empty stomach and 1 before bed with melatonin. I have to say that so far I am impressed. I actually feel a slight head change when I take them. Even feel a bit buzzed, as if I have had a few beers. But still being able to fully function. I come to work, I drive, I get home and cook. Totally safe to take! I have not had a psycho moment with my awesome BF. And I have only flipped out on my kid 1x. Because homie did 2 head and eye rolls and I wasn't having that! But I have noticed that I'm just like "blah". I have been letting things roll off my shoulders and I just don't care! I saw this one you-tuber where she said "I literally don't give a shit". And you know what, it is so true! I even let road rage slide! I just haven't been taking things so serious. I also started writing down affirmations and writing in my journal more. I have a notebook and I read my affirmations DAILY! I write them down 10x and repeat them 10x. And if I still feel anxious or negative, I repeat them again. If I am driving home and I feel grumpy, I turn down my radio and start saying them. If I can take more GABA a day, I totally would! GABA already contains B6 but I have been taking an additional B6 just to help the mood stick longer. I am by no means 100% better but I am 100% aware! I can actually stop myself from saying stupid shit. I still have to talk to myself to refrain from it, and some shit still slips but nothing compares to 14 days ago. I even feel more loved at home. I feel more respected. And the best thing is I respect myself more. I look in the mirror and tell myself that I have a kick-ass smile, a killer personality and I still look good for being 35! I have so much faith that every day will get better. I know I'll have a bad day, maybe a bad week. But I am so confident that slowly I will be able to accept everything that comes my way. My emotions, my attitude, and my self-awareness is going to get better. I will love myself more each day!
