The tale of two wolves: the most important life lesson I've ever seen.

An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all.

 

One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, faith & truth.

 

The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

 

The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."

 

My commentary: there is much more to be found in these wolves than the short tale tells. The Good wolf is also sunshine, home, haven, healthy relationship, service, perseverance, patience, all things being disciple of life. The Bad wolf is the opposite.

I like the tale and especially the imagination of a wolf protecting good and fighting evil. But how do you do it? How do you feed the good wolf inside of you?

 

I am longing for joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, faith & truth from the bottom of my heart, but my wolf seems to be weak and exhausted and this world a dark place.

Earlier drug history:

Paroxetine  2001 until 2003, quit cold turkey, don't remember dose; Venlafaxine 2005 until Dez. 2023, mostly 75mg xr per day, for about 4 years 37.5mg xr; quite a lot of Antihistamines because of allergy; there were other drugs that I don't remember all, but nothing what I consistently took over a longer period of time, for example Lorazepam 0.5mg prn.

Recent developments:

Dez 2023 - 03/13/2024 quitting Venlafaxine 75mg (skipping doses); 04/07/2024 reinstating Venlafaxine 12,5mg; 04/17/2024 Venlafaxine 25mg; 4/29/24 until 5/4/24 Trimipramine, 5mg going down to zero over 5 days

Drugs right now:

Venlafaxine 25mg; supplements: 500mg magnesium, 100mg aspirin and melatonin spray

 

I am no medical expert. I am dependent on Venlafaxine, trying to find and give peer support in this community and simply giving my opinion. Double check any information before you take action, for example with your doctor.

 

First they sell addictive drugs as harmless and then they leave you alone dosing fractions of a mg correctly or plunging into the abyss.

I believe there is no single piece of advice I may give that works for everyone and everytime. You'd have to find the food for the good wolf yourself. Every good wolf likes different food...
