    I’m raising aware on this channel, for people to take everything with caution. It doesn’t provide anything new, more of the time presenting half of the information or old information and practices that aren’t connected in any way with the today’s medical discoveries. In addition it makes a disservice to Canadian people who aren’t yet depressed. They’re not aware of the fact that the “advices “ of this doctor are not working in Canadian health system.

    I have really bad social anxiety. Like I tremble, and my face turns red when I am in any sort of confrontation. Because of this I do a lot of things that are against my morals/values just so I wouldn’t have to get into confrontations. It makes me feel crappy, but I really can’t help it. I still try to face social situations to feel better about myself, but it always ends up with me feeling more miserable. Maybe because I am hyper sensitive and critical about my appearance. I also act differently towards different people. I don’t really know myself anymore.
