What the Body is Trying to Say

I recently read that approximately 27 million people in America are misdiagnosed with depression, or pms, or anxiety when the real culprit is a misfiring thyroid. I learned that thyroids can function erratically for a variety of reasons too. Poor diet, food or environmental allergens, post pregnancy hormonal changes etc. 

This may or may not apply to me. This may or may not apply to everyone. I'm not a doctor. I'm definitely not a great patient. I've lied in order to appear healthier than normal so as to avoid blood work! I know I'm not the only one. Still. 

Did you know the thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland? Next, a metaphor about broken wings...

Today I'm tired. This might be a result of running around with the family yesterday, grocery shopping, cleaning a bit, cooking a bit, swimming a lot, seeing a movie, then getting crappy sleep. The amount of energy required to be in a constant state of awareness about diet, and exercise and mood, and the effects of the world is draining. This may be the result of a misguided thyroid. Poor butterfly is trying to migrate.
