1/14/2017 0 Comments To anyone who is strugglingI've been there. I know things can be tough but it gets better. I've been anorexic, depressed and suicidal, abused by ex's, asthma so bad I can't really be in public (had to finish high school online because of this), I've felt lost, and not known who I am, I smoked cigarettes, lost loved ones and pets (who were basically my brothers and sisters), had endometriosis, wisdom teeth badly impacted (and terrible dentists that made my jaw pain worse & caused a long string of problems). Those are just some of the things that have happened to me (and I know there are people who have had it worse than me). I survived. One of the biggest things that I've learned from this is the idea of never giving up and never surrendering. Through a couple of these things I could have given up and I wouldn't be here anymore (likely for me I am religious so that is probably one of the main things that saved me through the suicidal bits, and thinking of my parents, they loved me by are very dysfunctional when it comes to communicating, and through a lot of this I got kind of lost because I didn't know how to communicate either). Strangely one of the other things I learned is how important the things you eat are. You wouldn't put coconut oil in a car and expect it to run, so you can't really put crap in your body and expect it to function well either (or you know not really putting anything in it doesn't help either, seriously anorexic don't do it, and if you are going down that path seek help, I have faced a lot of health issues because of being anorexic (not just during the periods where I was anorexic but after too). This is a little bit about Candida Overgrowth (which some people don't believe exist but really it just needs more research done about it) I can tell you even if it isn't real doing a lot of things that the Candida diets has you do has helped my health. I stopped taking prevacid (nasty medication, it was giving me a lot of side effects). My depression drastically improved, along with a lot of other symptoms I was facing. I started eating a lot of raw garlic (you smell like garlic all the time, but it has been worth it, I make my bf hungry for garlicy foods lol) and coconut oil (both of these things are really good for you. I also cut down on eating sugars (sugar in general just isn't that great for you, you need to have some but over all people consume way too much)).
So why am I telling you about this? This seemed like an inspirational story kind of post right? Well all of this is good to know because you could do some of these things and see if your symptoms improve. As far as depression goes before I started doing this I felt like I had no control of my emotions, they would swing wildly from one and of the other, I would get sudden burst where I felt very upset for no reason, and since I started doing this I started feeling like I had control. It was such a horrible feeling to not know what was wrong, to not know why I was feeling this way. Now it seems that I was just sick. The diets for a lot of Americans (I don't know what its like for other countries) just suck, they really do, all the heavy processed foods, GMO, and high in sugar/carbs foods (there are other things too but these are some of important ones). You don't need carbs/sugar most people unless they are doing a lot of physical activity just don't need them, if you aren't very active they don't do anything useful for the body (normally they don't have a whole not of nutrients that we need). I know that better foods are expensive (trust me, I find that very frustrating), but if you are feeling sick and depressed, you may want to look at your diet. If you have candida overgrowth switching to the foods that are better for you and cutting out all of the bad stuff (it will make you really sick at first, I felt like I had the flu for like a week, but over feeling sick all the time, trust me it was worth it) The paleo diet is a good thing to look at or keto, I don't know as much about keto but from what I understand they are similar keto just cuts out more). Even if you can't do that because these things are expensive, trying to cut out some of the sugar/carbs can be really helpful (and eating garlic & coconut oil, you are supposed to have probiotics too but I haven't been doing that because the good ones are expensive, if you have money for it probiotics are one of the best things you can do for your health most of the immune system is in our guts so getting that to a healthy state is super important). I have a had a lot of moments before doing this where things started getting better, a lot of it came down to needing to start changing my thinking but changing my diet helped so, so many times more than anything else. Like I said before you wouldn't put coconut oil in your car and expect it to run, you can't put crap in your body and expect it to function well either. With that in mind there are somethings that are a good idea to do, if you have low self esteem every day tell yourself that you are a beautiful, wonderful person (and add in any other good traits about yourself that you want). And be very aware of when you are negative. I was really negative, I beat myself up a lot and until I started being consciously aware of it, I couldn't change it.
