Re: EMOTIONAL FRUSTRATION panther_crystal

The things you're experiencing are probably common to everyone who's

come into this group to chelate. And it's true, we essentially have

to bear this alone for a long, long time. You've made it this far.

You're one of the lucky few who can start turning things around.

If you don't have Andy's book on Amalgam Illness, it's important you

order this as soon as possible. He's been incredibly generous about

providing much of the information on the internet, but it's much

harder to pull together all the specific pieces of information you

need without a copy. Most of us have to read it many times & continue

to keep going back to it as a reference. You'll find ways, with

supplements, that can help level the emotional swings. Most of the

information can many take years of trial and error to discover on your

own. Doctors simply are not trained to understand the complexities &

prevalence of mercury toxicity.

In my sickest years, I had no memory or recall and was simply

'living in the moment'. I was either in an emotional extreme if

something was serious enough it actually 'got' to me (and I'd obsess,

in a forgetful, confused, & highly charged state of mind), or I was

totally without emotion - a blank slate. This is impossible for

others (and you) to understand. It's very, very crippling. Hormones

and neurotransmitters are deeply affected, so it's important you

realize this is not your fault, or your attitude, or anything of the

sort. The endless, debilitating fatigue alone would affect anyone's

frame of mind, but our culture doesn't readily accept 'fatigue'.

You need to live simply & with as little stress as possible until

you're getting better. I was actually a little too content spending a

lot of time alone. Looking back, I'd been pretty resourceful in

finding artistic ways to busy myself or " try " to learn & keep my brain

active by reading and writing.

There is no magic pill and look out for anyone representing anything

otherwise. If you're quite toxic and had many years of exposure, the

chelation protocols discussed by dental groups & other practitioners

will create the impression you'll be fine within a few months of

amalgam removal. It probably works if your exposure was recent and

acute (short-term). There's a long road ahead for chronic mercury

illness with frequent dose chelation, but a year or two is a whole lot

faster than waiting out 20-30 years for your weakened body to attempt

to rid itself. I've found I'm more energetic, emotionally stable &

mentally alert while chelating than I'd ever been in 10-15 years, and

I've only been doing this since January.

What's most important is that you realize getting better is up to you

and how determined you are to fight & stick it out with chelation and

a healthy lifestyle to support it. There's a lot of groups around

that will help you.

As to family and friends, as you start getting better, they will be

taking notice. What they learn from you then, including the

experiences you share with them as they see changes in you, will pass

on & reach others who otherwise would be without hope.

's suggestions are good. Read and try some of the things

that seem right for you. You are very fortunate to have a supportive

partner. Let them help you.

I can't know how you feel exactly, but I can relate because I have had

very crazy emotional and psychiatric problems of my own. I don't like

feeling not like myself and hopeless, wondering if there will ever be

an end. I think you are not alone with these feelings. You will find

support here. Keep posting and let us know what you try and how it works.
