  2. Even though I wasn't eating much, my weight was going up and I was sporting bluish-black bags under both my eyes most of the time from lack of sleep. There were literally weeks on end when I could not sleep through an major depressive disorder entire night, which, among other things, left me exhausted, unhappy, and achy most of the time. In short, I felt like the world was crashing in on me.

  9. Some adjustment might save you from experiencing pain. You may presume that I'm so crooked they'll have to screw me in to the ground. Now I just feel like falling asleep. The biggest issue with Top Wellness Pro is what we're talking about this evening as much as apparently I was right as this relates to doing that.
