Hi Amy,

 

Thanks for your email...it was very encouraging...I have seen many counsellors

over the years ....to help mainly overcome an eating disorder....so I felt like

a mental case patient for 20 plus years, not knowing I was dealing with

candida since I was 10 ish...also having no thyroid(cancer in 1991 and 1998)

 alone can cause great depression/anxiety when not treated properly with the

right meds....so I am on my way to a better life with this diet etc..(I will be

40 next week...so I pray that in 3 years or so I will feel better for the first

time in my life).

 

I homeschool my 15 year old son who has/had ADHD...he has been off his meds for

3 weeks now (been on them for 7 years)...so he has been on the diet too..so he

is experiencing things also......at times I just want to be alone and cry....

as I said a lot of emotional and physical discomfort...but I have to keep

going...and if I slip and cheat...get up and keep going...that is a daily chant

for me...

 

I too prepare as much food as I can in advance..and freeze meats etc and bone

broth..

...I find it hard to cook for my kids when I want to avoid the temptation

of being around food I know I should not eat....also food shopping in a

supermarket is another temptation zone that I would rather avoid....

 

If I lived alone..I would just prepare an egg drink and go to bed

early!!!....but I can't do what I know my body needs at times..(that I am sure

many mums go through)..which I find so frustrating!! But at other times having

the kids around helps me stay on track as they know what I should and shouldn't

be eating.

 

 Anyway,

As Bee says Onward and Upward,

Hi ,

I dealt with depression on an off for many years before starting Bee's program.

I took some antidepressants as well. I don't know if I would call what I

felt/feel " retracing " or just my hormones balancing out, but going through some

depression now while on Bee's program (knowing that it will eventually be over)

makes it MUCH easier to handle. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Also, don't be afraid to ask for help. I have been seeing a therapist and

luckily she herself battled candida so she understands. But, there could also be

some real emotional/repressed reasons you are experiencing depression so look at

it as a journey (not a disease) and as an opportunity to be rid of the " baggage "

you may have been carrying around for years.

Finally, prepare for it! If you know your hormones and such need to balance and

it may be hard to function (or even get out of bed) do your cooking when you

feel good...even if those good days are scarce. I have a stash of " depression

food " in my freezer, haha. It's healthy food for the days I cant stop crying and

eating mac & cheese would be easier and more comforting. I just pop out a

container of Chicken Vindaloo (my total fav from Bee's recipe group) and make

myself eat it.

Hope this is helpful honey

Dear , 

Although I am not in your situation because I don't have children, I just want

to say that the first year and a half I was on Bee's program (I'm nearing 2

years), I went through a lot of extremely rough times: I used to cry many times

a week and felt like my world would end the next day. All of that has passed,

and the only time I get mildly emotional is right before my period. Bee's

program is amazing, but the trick is to hang on and keep at it. I hope this

helps you and your son. Best wishes, Helene
