For some reason I thought if I eliminate certain foods from
my diet it would cure my mood disorder. My depression and anxiety would
magically disappear. Well, I went to the
bare bones diet of meant, fruit, and veggies(according to my dr I’m one of 2
people that actually took her seriously on the strict diet thing) for nearly a
year and to my dismay I am far from cured and on the verge of just giving up.
I’ve had enough of being miserable. I
work full time in an office with 900 other people I can’t be breaking out in
tears at work. I went back to my doctor today and she said that for some people
diet would eliminate many symptoms, but for me it’s not everything. At least we
can defiantly rule out food as the only issue. She’s still keeping out gluten,
but we’ll be adding food back to my diet. She’s going to test my thyroid again
and she gave me some other supplements to try.
And said to let her know in a few days how I’m doing and if it’s not
working we’ll try something else. Apparently I should have come in sooner to
adjust things, but I didn’t because I figured it must all be food related and I
just kept getting rid of more and more foods.
Well we’ll see what happens. I
guess I should be happy that I can add more foods back into my diet, but at
this point I really care less. Food doesn’t interest me at all what so ever. It
sure doesn’t make me happy. And right now my goal is to stop breaking out in
tears at work and to no be so depressed so if that would be solved by the diet
I’m currently on I wouldn’t care less.
I figure I might as well stick with her a little longer as I
don’t have insurance that covers appointments at Kaiser, in addition I have no
time off so even if I had insurance(besides catastrophic) I wouldn’t be able to
make it to the doctor’s appointment anyways.
In addition I’ve been on a ton of prescriptions and they didn’t help
either so who’s to say they would this time. I’m pretty sure they still don’t
have a miracle drug so I’ll end up with the same course of action there, try
this and let me know how it works in a month and so any way you look at it
there is still no quick fix or inexpensive fix.
Now just pray for me that I can keep my job or find another job that
will allow me to stick around here so I can see the doctor and afford to take
what ever it she suggests. And why not
add to that prayer that I’ll either be cured or that we’ll find the right combo
of what ever so I feel like it’s worth getting out of bed to face yet another
day.
