Depression
Has anyone experienced depression at the start of ER? I had read that it
could help a person overcome depression, but I’m finding myself depressed
more often than before. Could it be some sort of chemical reaction my body
is having to giving up the foods it’s used to? Any ideas on what might help?
I’m finding myself doing more emotional eating, so of course I’m not losing
weight (altho sweet potato chips may be beneficial, eating an entire bag in
one evening can’t be good).
Of course, it could be totally unrelated to my diet, I suppose.

Hi Nancy,
That would be my guess as well. Where can I get sweet potato chips? :}
Many things cause depression. Ceasing the eating of ‘comfort’ foods leaves
hidden depression in the open. Exercise, plenty of water, good doses of
sunshine help me. Also kelp, greens, bladderwrack are helpful if your low
temps show a low thyroid function which gives a feeling of slowness, sadness,
and fatique.
Don’t panic. Dont fight or fear the depression. Treat yourself well,
instead. If you stay depressed you should get help. But it’s not surprising
to feel let down, with the changes you are making.
You can do it.

Thanks, Mary Ann. I get sweet potato chips at the health food store. My
favorite is the jalapeno flavored!

Thanks, Nancy!
Maybe I shouldn’t, but there’s a void in my diet–snacks. I need to just
snack on apples and celery. I know. I know.
