Its days like these I wish my creator was incarnate so I could give him pain in equal parts of what I feel.......
Anyone have depression?
There are many thoughts about depression, saddness, grief and or we could call it self pity. How you "feel", is a physical thing, how you "think", is an emotional thing, are they connected, they coculd be. Being physically unwell can have an enormous effect on your affect. Being down emotionally can have an effect on your physiology. What came first, being emotionally down or physically may give you some answers to your question.
My thoughts and suggestions if they will help are. Write down all physical feelings you have, like being tired, hungry, not hungry, thirsty, bloated, tense, irritable in physical pain ie: chest pain, bowel pain, joint pain what ever it is you feel.
Make a list of your emotional problems, ie, life seems dull, your impatient, your mind works over time, what ever it is on your mind, saddness or crying.
When you have a list of everything you feel, both emotional and physical, keep them separate so that you can monitor them and reflect on them.
Now make a list of everything you eat and drink and I mean everything from Milk to coffee, from tinned soup to cabbage, cheese, or cheese spread, cookies to coke, candies to toast (white, brown, wholemeal), sugar in coffee, sugar on cakes.
If you eat lots of packet or processed foods, write them down and keep them separate from the fresh or frozen food list you make.
When you have your list send me a copy and I'll give you the next steps to find out if it's you, your gene's or your food.
What I will be asking you to so is to write a list of all the physical ills you have from a constant itch to bone pain, chest pain, headaches what ever.
Then I want to see your list of emotional pain or discomfort, so that you can monitor whether those things disappear after I have sorted out your diet which you will need to address in one form or another.
From the list of foods you send me I will suggest that you stop eating some of those foods for a while so that you can monitor whether how you feel changes either marginally or toatlly. I will also suggest at some stage that you try a treatment which I tried and I can tell you that it wasn't painful, costly or difficult but it made so much difference in my life that I now know what effects me and what is to blame.
If all this sounds like too much to do that may be because your not healthy. If this sounds like too much to do because it sounds like bull ****, then you may just miss out on a possible solution because it sounds like bull ****. IF your intelligent you may know that the answer to problems is always a simple one in the end. What makes it difficult at the beginning is that until we know the answer there does not appear to be a solution, but there is. If you follow my advice you will find an answer and you will feel not only physically better but emotionally better too, no more morbidness or thoughts of finding a quick way out.
My advice if you take it will also show you that you can be in charge of how you feel and that it's not your genes but your diet. We are what we eat.
Each culture dies of a particular disease, ie they are prone to one disease more than another culture. For instance, the Inuit in Northern Canada never die of heart disease or cancer because of their diet. People in China do not on thw whole die of the same disease as people in North America, though that is changing because of improvements in transport which now provides everyone with access to relatively the same processed foods. Genes and available foods are predictors of our health. What is commonly eaten in one culture will have an effect on not only there physical health but also on their mental health. With cultures inter breeding over the centuries, many of those diseases which would not normally effect you now effect you because genes are being shared and with that ones propensity to disease is crossing cultural and genetic barriers that once didn't exist because we as people lived in our own little world. Befor white people were in North America people of the first nations never got colds, now they suffer from all the disease that white people suffer because they now consume the same diet.
If that doesn't convince you that your problems may be more than a morbid personality then ignore this message and keep searching. If your interested, then send me your lists and I'll take you through it and I know you will find relief if you follow my lead.
Best wishes
