My life had become one of depression and anxiety, with a few high points in it. Then Tenaj suggested Bach Flower Remedies (BFR) to me. As someone, who is comfortable with alternative "medicine", I said that I was willing to try just about anything in the hope that it would make me feel more "myself". This identity of "myself" had disappeared over the years of stress (loss of several loved ones, breakup of a major relationship that had lasted over 18 years, and a lot of abuse).

Things did not happen all at once, but with each new mix of drops, we would keep some remedies and change others because new issues had come up since the last consultation. Certain remedies would stay in the mix longer then others and sometimes we took some out only to put them back in the next time or a future mix because that issue had come back up for me.

There is one remedy that I take all by its self as my depression is so severe that I just feel better on it. This is Gentian, it is one of several remedies that are for the treatment of depression. The doctors feel that I have been depressed to some degree for most of my life and as it runs in my family, it is a major issue for me.
