shameful about how horrible I was to an ex

disconnected and lonely. My own fault

mostly managed to get back in a routine since going keto. Couldnt get a routine in place before then.

Unfortunately, before I managed to overcome my emotional dysregulation, I was nasty to people. So everyone backed off or have just decided not to speak to me again. I don't blame them one bit. Just so glad I found the keto diet because I couldn't do it without it.

@Susan Jane , I hope your feeling better after the ECT. I get why its frightening. I go into the local newsagents and I had a nice conversation with one of the staff today. It makes me feel like I have some connection. If I go out I try to speak to people in the shops or wherever else i might...

@Susan Jane, I don't think i feel uncomfortable around people, i think i just don't want to admit to myself the full extent of my loneliness. I went to a support group yesterday and I think it was just being around people who shared their own struggles made me realise how much connection i...

@Movingforward10 and @Sideways , thank you. I feel better physically and I feel like i'm starting to cope with life better, like going out more and starting to read again and i'm reaching out more. I think I was feeling anxiety because I had been on my own too long and while I didn't use to...

Ive been on the keto diet for 10 weeks and the last few days i've felt different. Like I want to read a book and i was looking forward to buying paint for my hall. Theres been other things small things too , like im starting to connect with life. Weirdly though, although I feel things are...

HI @Lhazel11 , nice to meet you. I have cptsd and I find the forum really useful too.

I think going really slow is good. I do the same by leaving immediately after structured activities. Try not to get caught up in small talk or everyone going for a drink afterwards etc . I also think if gives you back some confidence by knowing you don't have to tell anyone anything. Like a...

I think I relate to part of it. Sometimes its like being invisible to yourself. It does feel odd when people act like you are a person too. Once i went for a neurology appointment knowing they were giving me the results of a scan with the possible outcome i had a brain tumour. It didn't occur to...

@Susan Jane , i'm sorry your having to go through this again. Hang in there, this episode will pass once you've had the treatment and then like you say, you can work on other things then. Sending best wishes, support and care x

Brisk walking and weights on Youtube is what i've settled on.

I miss my kids and the feeling that I used to have reading books.

two burgers, just the meat

I went out yesterday and broke ketosis, ate a pitta bread and some sauce. Today I have felt terrible all day. I wont do it again thats for sure. Its so not worth it. Metabolic psychiatry is definitely the way forward.

For having some perspective in general, for my home, the people who stay in touch with me, for being able to go for a walk, for being able to buy basic necessities.

@arfie, thankyou x

Hi, has anyone got any advice for night time anxiety? As soon as I get ready for bed, it starts and its so annoying!

Hi @Ecdysis Thankyou, it has already made a big difference in 7 days. I also find it easy than i thought to fast for so long. Im really excited to see how things improve over the 3 months. id cut out sugar and bread and potatoes a year ago so i wasnt expecting such a significant change. Im back...

@anthony thankyou! cant believe the difference its made already 😊

I recently learned about metabolic psychiatry and the good results of remission of mental health disorders on the ketogenic diet. I started the diet 6 days ago. On the 4th day I started to feel better like the blinds were opening and today 6th day, i feel like my brain has woken up. The...
