Carnivore diet, specifically steak and fish work wonders. For me, at least. I know it has helped many people with anxiety, depression, OCD, even bipolar and schizophrenia. Some people get off their meds. As long as they stick to the diet. Good luck!
Have you tried traditional meds in the past? Do you do other therapy as well?
@Anonymousman I am on traditional meds, anti-anxiety and low-dose antidepressant. But when I eat clean and add more meat, and by eating clean I mean nothing processed, I notice I donāt need as much medication. I have successfully and unknowingly cut my anti-anxiety dose almost in half, and never felt a thing. It all started when I began hanging out with the Carnivores on YouTube. The reason they do Carnivore is because itās the cleanest way to eat. Some add in organic carbs, I am one of them. Like organic strawberry yogurt with grape nuts mixed in, some flaxseed meal, and sliced bananas on top. Always before bed. Those are my only carbs, the rest is pure Carnivore. (I do this to stay out of Ketosis, as it makes me a bit hyper, which leads to less sleep.) I never believed this was true, but what you eat really does affect how your brain works. Try not eating anything for a few days or just nibbling on little snacks - your symptoms will skyrocket and youāll end up stuck in fight-or-flight.
I came across this OCD reddit post about someone upping their potassium to help dopamine release. Found some scientific papers online just by searching "potassium and dopamine", feel free to look up yourself! (-:
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
Iām working with a new psychiatrist for medication. She suggested both prozac or luvox. wondering what has worked for people or any suggestions
Hello! I am trying out and looking to partake in therapy, but I literally donāt know what is good. So could use some personal perspectives. Thanks
