My mother, who knows and supports my medication, and understands the swings, Is always telling me about this vitamin, or that herb, and often advocates walks in nature. Before diagnosis and medication, when I was in the lows, she would try to help with some of these, especially the nature walks. I would tell her that sure, it was proven it helps, but I'f I havent managed to get in the shower for a week, do you expect me to go hiking?

She was supportive and well meaning, and I appreciate the effort, but yeah fuck many of these.
