Hello everybody -
just wanted to update you on my experiment with fish oil (3-6g omega3/day).
I had dropped most other supplements, apart from a multi, a B complex, occasional zinc and vit E/C.
I was doing very, very well on the fish oil, with the odd bad day. Today has been one of those really, really awful high-anxiety days where I am pacing the floors and feel scattered and at a loss what to do etc. I can't bear feeling like this - it feels like I want to tear my hair out.
Did my journalling etc. and had a go at the world in it - specific people, why I'm so pissed off at myself etc. etc.
My eating's been a bit all over the shop as well (I am a 'partially' recovered bulimic - in other words, I haven't thrown up in quite a few months).
I am a little disappointed, as I was doing excellently on the fish oil alone, feeling very calm, at peace with the world etc. and NOW THIS!
So I got out my box of 'emergency anxiety pills' - i.e. picamilon, lithium orotate, magnesium orotate, l-theanine, P-5-P vitamin B6, st johns wort.
The picamilon works immediately for me, and with a dash of l-theanine works even better.
I really thought I had found my holy grail of supplements with the fish oil, and now I feel like it is not going to be enough for my present situation.
I may have to restart the wort if I keep on having bad days now. It's not perfect but it does work with the fish oil and lithium orotate very well (as I seem to remember). It's just I hate taking so many pills. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
So I just thought I'd vent here, if that's alright. Thanks for reading.
