Going grain free to battle depression/anxiety? Anyone have experience?

I'm just picturing this guy crying, emo mascara streaming down his cheeks, frantically clutching a bologna and mustard sandwich, screaming at the screen "Your mother made this bitch!"
 
Depression/anxiety to the average person sounds like crying, hiding indoors, scared of the world. Its more like restless, irritable, angry, mood swings, lack of interest. In the beginning i was asking a question about grains because i watched a video about mood disorders and the connection to gut health, he mentioned cutting out grains to alleviate some inflammation. I also remember joe rogan talking about them, A friend also read a book called “grain brain” and mentioned grains have changed alot in the past 10 years and there are actually people who have intolerances to grains only in this country, and abroad they can eat it all. Meanwhile just getting off a cycle because yes the test makes me feel more confident and big but at the end of the day i felt more detached from myself. I took ssris when i was a kid, i dont remember them doing much and i think they are a main factor in my current state and possibly contributing to low testosterone levels. Iv been to an endocrinologist and after he sent me a $1700 blood test bill and told me hormones seem okay, I also started shying away from doctors because its always different clashing opinions that get me nowhere but broke. So here i was asking a question on a forum just trying to get some peoples experience the last thing i need is to be told “go take srris” its not always the solution. Ssris change your brain chemistry they change who you are as a person, would i be better if i felt numbed out on ssris and benzos? Probably but am i ready to take the easy road and be a zombie my whole life. No - just looking for some natural approaches at relieving mood disorders without feeling like im some vegan liberal nut.

Fuck tom brady.

I was actually not minding you until this. you've crossed a line and can never come back.

Kidding, although he is the GOAT, you are entitled to not like him. Denying his greatness would be foolish though. He is about the best ever, if not the best.

Attitude man. It's all in your head. I'm sure we could all plow some pills down the gullet to swing our moods but if it isn't something that is really needed why do it? Only real advice I can give, aside from get the help you need if you indeed need real help, is change your mindset. It is that simple. I have to work at it somedays but would rather work at readjusting my head than swallow something a doctor 'thinks' will work. Pot always makes me not care about much as well, but that isn't for everyone.

Do you have some hobbies?
If not, find some that will keep you and ur mind busy
Try to focus on somethig when u get ur bad moods.
Example, after break up with ex ive started to write short movie scripts whenever i felt like shit.
Key was to anticipate it and make your brain busy with something else right away.
I combined this approach with taking piracetam and i had lazer focused mind and in couple of weeks i was like a new person, better one.
Just gotta keep your brain busy so you wont have time/chance to think about bs
 
After watching that pretty bastard take my Falcons down in the Super Bowl, fuck him.



Jk. Although not a Pats fan, I do believe Brady may just be the greatest ever and Belichick aint to shabby himself! I’ve always said never bet against Belichick or Saban in the big game and both of them fucked me in the same year! At least I was expecting it!
 
Do some research into the "whole 30" diet it's basically paleo but excludes grains, added sugars. All carbs come from potatoes basically. Meats are still on the table along with fish and eggs. Fruits as well. Long story short the basic of the diet isn't a 30 day fix it's to detox your body of sugars except from fruit. Grains and dairy. At the end of the 30 days you introduce them if you please one by one to see how your body reacts. My body does fine with rice etc after the detox but I feel like shit after eating a bagel. So I learned to avoid certain things or have them in moderation. Something you should look into before you just go on a tangent about how the government is killing us through food. It's a people's choice to hit the drive thru everyday. That shitty food is just as shitty today as it was 20 years ago it's just consumed at a much larger rate.
 
Lol, that's the spirit.

Did you see the video of the ref at the championship game congratulate Brady? Pretty obvious he was favoring the Pats.

*Ickys blood pressure begins to rise*
Can't a ref be a fan? Jeez, lol. It's Not like they didn't call penalties against the pats or something. You guys are tough!

I took a left over vacation day on the following Monday after the big game. Going to need it

No, refs cannot be fans of Tom Brady. Any other QB is okay though.

Settle yourself down buddy, I'm just busting your balls... I've spent enough time in the NE area to know you people are all gay for Brady.

I'm annoyed to see them back at the super bowl if I'm being honest, but that's only because I've seen them play in the super bowl enough already... So what's that say about them as a team? They're pretty damn good.

I should be rooting for Philly since they're not far from me but honestly, I saw footage of some of the eagle's fans and it was disgusting. Lobbing open cans of beer at the Vikings fans? Fucked up. I think they'll have trouble against the Patriots.

I know you're playing big guy :) it's all good. And fwiw, super gay for tom Brady. Like super duper gay. It's infectious really. The let down after he is gone will be severe!

I can totally understand the planet's dislike of the team and the coach & qb combo. I'd be a hater if I wasn't from the area.

The fan base in Philly was out of control. No pride in that stadium seating at all. We will accost you savagely in Gillette but it will just be words for the most part. Not trying to hurt anyone or make them have to sit down with their young grade school children to explain what the hell just happened walking through the parking lot. We have more class than that. I'm hoping that show Philly fans put on was a one off occurrence.

Me too... It was disheartening. Philly is a pretty rough place though. I have friends moving there in a month or so from Baltimore area. My first question when they said they had to move up there was, "why?". Never cared for it. Some nice surrounding areas though.

Lol. I spent a few weeks there as a kid, enough to last me a lifetime. Strange place... Colonial cobblestone sidewalks on one street, on the next was drug dealers. There are buildings in Philly that look completely bombed out like it's a warzone lol.

The nice thing about this game is I'm not really rooting for either team, it'll just be fun to watch a game with very little emotional investment... Makes it less stressful.
