Topic Title: 6 Months on SJW-Reflections
| | "6 Months on SJW-Reflections" , Mon 14 Mar 13:20
First things, first, a huge thanks to Kelly for providing a veritable gold mine of info for people like me who didn't know where elso to turn to try to get their lives more 'livable'. I'm a 56 yr old male, currently living and working in Sicily, hence the username. I live about an hour from Corleone, Sicily, but never had the interest to even go that far to see the home of the Godfather. You all know the feeling, work, eat, sleep, repeat. I just never felt like I really enjoyed life, I was just enduring it. Hard to establish goals, no motivation, etc, etc. I found this site about 6 months ago and thought, what have I got to lose by trying this SJW therapy? At the time, though, I really didn't think it would do anything. Fast forward 6 months. I'm not yet Superman or Clark Gable (He's a very old, dead actor for most of you) but I think I now know what normal life feels like. No overnight sensations, just a steady, gradual improvement in my outlook on life, more enjoyment from the little things that 'normal' people talk about. I visited a 2000 year old Roman ruin about a half hour from my home last week. The view from the amphitheater at sunset was absolutely breathtaking. That may not seem like such a big deal, but the fact that I noticed was what really got my attention. I've travelled and worked all over the world (and Texas) but only recently have I appreciated life enough to get out and actually enjoy it! I've also been to Corleone (way cool little town) and many other little towns around the island. Obviously, not everything is perfect, for instance, my boss is still a jerk, but then I don't think he's taking SJW! I can even tolerate the jerk much better since my attitude has improved. I don't know if I was clinically depressed or what, but 3X300 MG per day for the past 6 months has made a major, noticeable improvement in my mood, attitude, motivation and overall enjoyment of my life. Even my wife thinks I'm more fun to be around, which is a BIG plus. Those are my reflections about SJW. Wish I'd found it 30 years ago. Thanks again Kelly.

Hi. How long after you started taking SJW did you start feeling the effects? Thanks.

Hi back, It took about 2-3 weeks before I noticed I wasn't feeling quite so 'down' all the time. It's been a long, gradual improvement, now it's been 6+ months and I actually participate in this forum and do other things I never had the motivation to try before. I hope SJW will help you as it has me. My life is dramatically better than before. It may be the SJW, an improved diet, more positive outlook, more exercise or all the above, but I truly feel the SJW was the ladder out of my dungeon. Good luck and keep us posted on your experience.

HI! I actually am not the one that is taking it. My bf is and he is telling me that after 4 weeks, it hasn't done anything for him. That is very discouraging as his moods certainly affect our relationship - he says some aweful things. I don't know what else to suggest.I got him some Anxietol 7 to see if it will help with his anxiety.

Mermaids: Have your bf try Perika from Nature'w Way. It has done wonders for many people. He may need to increase the rec. dosage if he is moderately depressed.

Sorry to hear that your bf is not responding well to the SJW. Many people on this forum have suggested trying different brands of SJW, maybe that would help. I found that keeping a positive attitude was also important to my sense of well-being but I know that's difficult when you're feeling down all the time. It can be a very frustrating time, but at least being civil with the people who care about you should be an important personal goal. I hope for the best for you and your friend.
