Can you say that the kidney tonic or another tonic was influential in helping one to gain more confidence in one's abilities? I definitely need help with that, plus also with the anticipatory anxieties I have about going out to look for work or to muster up enough courage to start dating again. I will say that when I was on Ativan (benzo), I did have much more confidence in myself because the anxieties were lessened. Can you say that herbal tonics if taken over time do in some way influence what we perceive as anxiety-provoking in our lives, even though there may be no reason to fear and no reason not to do something substantial with our lives?
I guess I'm looking for something to help motivate the self and to help change the perception of the self and others. Giving up anger and guilt, especially when it is unnecessary in most situations. Would taking a spleen tonic with a kidney tonic be more beneficial rather than taking either alone? I will say I have achieved a lot from medication and vitamins, including perceptions, but still, I look for improvement.
Thanks.
