I just realized something. <\/p>\n
For the past couple of years, I’ve been gorging on health-related supplements and boosters. I mean, I’ve been taking way, way more than the recommended dosages for some stuff… I convinced myself that I was doing it for my health but now I think I might <\/em>have been self-medicating or something. Wow, imagine that. I mean… can you do that? <\/p>\n That’s impossible, right?<\/p>\n Is some of that stuff addictive? I mean, the roots and herbs and minerals and stuff. You wouldn’t think so, really, but some illegal drugs are herbs and isn’t cocaine a mineral too? It can be prepared as a salt. <\/p>\n I’m not saying that anything I was taking was like crack or anything- that would be nuts- but I was taking way, and I mean WAY, more stuff than I should have been, especially, now that I think about it, when I was feeling down or depressed, or stressed out at work. When I was really down I would go over by three or four times the recommended maximum dosages on the packages sometimes. Was I an addict? I mean, it wasn’t intentional <\/em>that I would take the stuff just to escape from reality. So I did it without thinking. Is that addiction?<\/p>\n So I recently stopped ingesting all of what I was taking and I feel a lot better but I *think* I might be having some withdrawal symptoms weaning myself off of what I was taking. But that’s impossible, right? They’re just herbs and roots and minerals etc. It’s nothing illegal!<\/p>\n Eek. No, I’m OK. No problems here. I’m over this whole \u201caddiction\u201d thing. And again, nothing I was taking was illegal, so that means it wasn’t addictive anyways. So… move along, people. Nothing to see here. Nope.<\/p>\n I mean, I’m supposed to be some kind of genius, right? I was doing it to be healthy and I just did it wrong, but what if…<\/p>\n Eek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just realized something.
