Ended up not going to A&E.
Undecided about who to contact or what to do next.
Everything's so difficult.
I apologise if this is a lame question, but what are you eating?
Are you feeding your body and brain with the nutrients it needs to thrive? Proper food. Nutrient dense food, brain food.
Are you supplementing with anything? Vitamin D3 + K2 is a must for this time of year and I don't mean the poxy stuff from the supermarket. High doses in the thousands of IU's. If you're not going out during the day you must be severely lacking in vitamin D, as the majority of us are.
Magnesium. Again, none of this shit stuff from the supermarket, proper stuff. Magnesium L-threonate crosses your brains blood barrier and gets right into your brain. Or magnesium glycinate that works very well with the vitamin D3 & K2.
5-htp could be another benefit, but must not be taken with anti depressants.
I'm saying this because I supplement with all of these and find them very useful. But supplements can also be a slower process and you can end up spending a wedge of money on them. I don't mind that though because I absolutely think it's worth it when I know they are working.
If you haven't researched these kinda things, then crack on. You might end up finding it really interesting and find something that helps, even if just a bit. Every little helps, as they say.
Try and find more natural remedies from food and supplements, away from the medication now, if that's all failed. Maybe even get off them and try and assist your brain into fixing things itself without mangling it up further with more meds.
Another point I'm going to make. Have you tried getting yourself into the state of ketosis by eliminating sugars, carbs and fructose from your diet? For me personally, it's been an absolute game changer. I've been eating this way for years but stopped for a year (last year). My mental wellbeing took a massive nosedive.
My brain and body and thousands of other people's function much better using ketones as brain and body energy instead of high amounts of glucose. I started again in December and the change in my mental well being is astounding. If you've never heard of this, research it for yourself and again you may find it interesting and keeps you occupied.
Obviously I'm not a doctor or nutritionist, I'm just sharing things that have worked for me. I've gained a lot of personal knowledge from my trials and errors to get myself into a good place, and so thought I'd share them on here in the hope I could potentially point you in a new or different direction and help in some way.
