Hi 👋 I’m Sonja I have late dx Bipolar 1 & Borderline Personality Disorder both in remission by natural & lifestyle plus very very late dx/very recent Inattentive ADHD & Autism, (History of PTSD/cPTSD/GAD) Dx at 49 with Bipolar & BPD at 52 & #AuDHD just this year! All my belated diagnoses have helped me as maps to manage this extreme combination of conditions. Never medicated, never hospitalised, my blogs contain a distillation of the natural means i’ve found useful to date. This is a new blog as I feel like I’m a new person now that I’ve finally got all the pieces I need to make sense out of my broken/different physiology, nervous system & psychology.

Cordyceps is also a high energy mushroom with purportedly great benefits post menopause. This is a lovely blog piece with all the details of the top 3  https://blog.curativemushrooms.com/top-3-medicinal-mushrooms-to-improve-brain-function

Lastly here is Dr Axe on Chaga - https://draxe.com/nutrition/chaga-mushroom/. Reading through my own links now I’m going to include Reishi as a 4th if I possibly can because increasing your own bodies capacity to relax is ultimately the biggest healer of them all. 🙌
