we aren't doctors here.
Also ibuprofen shouldn't do that to you, or anything even close to that.
Julian Cruz
Maybe you have celiac disease. Or it's all in your head.
Luis Thompson
Try curcumin.
Jacob Evans
Most straightforward reason would be you have developed insulin resistance aka you getting diabetes son.
Dylan Ward
But I am not even fat or eat that much sugary things..?
Just did, fuck this crap is disgusting.
Justin Miller
I always took pill versions of that stuff. Not disgusting at all. Did it help?
Christopher Bell
No idea yet, how does it take to make effect?
Nathan Stewart
No. Depression and all mental issues are mysterious "chemical imbalances" that we must treat as hard mechanical failures, with drugs. If you have problems you're just broken for life and therefore need drugs forever, see the logic? Solid. If not though, you can just take some Prozac for a while to "get back on your feet", right? Just until you get things sorted out, then it'll all be fine and you won't need it anymore, right? :^)
Environment and diet is bullshit. You've been led astray, my sheep. Return to the flock and obey your shepherd.
Grayson Walker
>But I am not even fat or eat that much sugary things..? Type 1 diabetes is associated with gluten.
Jacob Morales
Well shit, I swear I was starting to feel better then I ate like 7 salted crisps and now I feel fugged again. Should I just stick with keto or simply stop eating Gluten?
Jose Russell
Honestly, just feels like nothing is real and I am constantly having panic attacks about merely existing. My hands look weird as fuck.
Why would eating carbs make me feel like this?
Cameron Evans
No you should pop an ibuprofen every single time you eat.
Jaxson Powell
speak for your self math brainlet
Benjamin Lopez
Tots, brah! Can't wait to have a hole in my stomach so I can stop using my fucking inefficient throat where I risk dying out of asphyxiation where time I eat!!!
Ayden Reyes
you sound like you have psychological problems unrelated to carbohydrates that lead to bias in your perception of the matter. your therapist can tell you more. >my hands look weird god seek some help. you are wasting your life being a delusional retard when it could be fixed.
Samuel Gutierrez
What perception? I am fine and well when things are normal, shit just gets weird for no reason some days and I am trying to understand why
Lincoln Hernandez
Do you have any digestive issues? Food intolerances?
You could be having spikes of histamine release alongside a massive influx of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, etc metabolic byproducts from bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. They will also cause psychoactive quinones to form from relatively common food items. The ammonia and hydrogen sulfide will turn into GABA and do other things in the brain, as is seen in hepatic encephalopathy. A fully functioning liver can still allow this if the production and absorption rate is high enough. First pass processing is mechanical, not magical.
Also, do you have grainy vision? Afterimages? Flashes of light?
Jonathan Morris
Ignore him, he doesn't have the means to understand. I've experienced something similar for the majority of my life. It's likely not strictly psychogenic. Pretty much anyone who has any brains could realize there's a limit to what you can assume is psychogenic.
Kayden Mitchell
>grainy vision? Afterimages? Flashes of light?
I have visual snow, yes. I get a lot of afterimages too...
>Do you have any digestive issues? Food intolerances?
Not sure, I can't remember anything
Daniel Thompson
>I've experienced something similar for the majority of my life. It's likely not strictly psychogenic.
Have you found a way to manage it?
Jose Clark
I have visual snow as well, and a history of similar things.
I think the bulk of visual snow might stem from abnormal formation of one of the brain's main arteries, providing a number of avenues for other factors to influence it, and the inverse.
Anyway. It could be issues with your gut flora. I used to have similar episodes, cycles, and waves I'd experience. Now that I've made my gut flora fucked in a different way, I don't have such things so often or so profoundly. Though I'm also miserable and pretty much withered and dead inside. The complete absence of contrast or dynamic states probably plays in somehow.
Adrian Jones
Well shit
Nathan Cook
Diet. I don't eat tomatoes, dairy, wheat, soy, or corn. I don't eat meat aside from turkey occasionally, and have tried to limit that such that it doesn't end up the main part of a meal.
I eat stinging nettle frequently, and occasionally some horsetail. Kava can help. After taking phenibut for a while, I had unraveled myself to a point where my anxiety was pretty much eliminated. There is a grand interlocking web of catch 22's that form, and as you become so tightly coiled, you cannot unravel anything. I don't consume it very often anymore.
The existential stuff (depersonalization, derealization, dissociation / compartmentalization, [insert term here]) I have a lot to say about, but don 't think there's a reason to say it in the abstract. It'll happen on its own.
Dominic Phillips
>Unstable mood >Decide to try keto >Mood is more stable, no much up, no much down
Keto is used for people with epilepsy. Epilepsy medication is also given to people with bipolar. It's been hypothesized that keto is good for bipolar.
Maybe you have bipolar, and this is anecdotal evidence of proof of that hypothesis.
Michael Wright
Ibuprofen is known to cause high blood pressure and rapid heartbeat.
It also hurts like hell on an empty stomach.
Isaiah Hill
you have some disease or you've convinced yourself of something, placebo
