Tina - you said you don't want to do meds again. You know, Elissa (daughter) has suffered from depression for years. About - I think it was a year ago, she read a book - something like 7 weeks to cure your depression. She followed the diet in it. It cut WAY back on carbohydrates & cut out sugars, etc. It was very, very hard for her, because she had a VERY limited supply of money, and pastas & bread were a major part of her diet. She didn't notice a huge difference at first, but as time went on (weeks & weeks) she did start to notice a difference. Now, she still doesn't eat sugar. If she DOES - she gets VERY DOWN - I believe it's the next day. I can get details if anyone is interested. Friends will say to her at a party "Hey, Lily, just a little bit won't hurt - it tastes so good." and she'll say "You know what - if I do eat it, I'll come over & spend the day with you tomorrow & you can decide if you think it was worth it or NOT."
She says she just can't believe how rotten she feels if she has sugar.
hugs, Kath
