probably.
did they work for me?
not really.

I’m just tired of being depressed and having my emotions be dictated by my period
Look into Wild Yam cream & suiting your eating habits to your time of month - also look into Celtic salt which you can use all month round (has helped me with my anxiety) ☺️✨
The wild yam cream will increase progesterone and help balance out the estrogen during the second half of your cycle. Progesterone is a feel good molecule, unlike estrogen which makes me feel cray cray 🫠😂
I totally get how bad this sucks. Keto mostly cleared up these probs for me. If I do it for 1 - 1.5 weeks a month, I have minimal PMS symptoms. Bad PMS is often high, unopposed estrogen. Keto seems to fix that and clears up a low mood for me.
A big part of it right now is the weather where I’m at.
It’s been basically non stop raining for days. I can’t handle it.
My friend took this and said all her negative period symptoms went away
so expensive thoooo
plus I’m a vegetarian so I tend to avoid things like that.
Antidepressants or doing nothing will be more expensive when you consider the long term negative consequences on your health
anti-depressants don’t really work for me anyways :( I had more negative side effects from lexapro than positive ones.
I have been taking l-theanine which slightly helps but not much. I just think I’m broken at this point.
You’re not broken. It’s very common for vegetarians to feel like this. That’s why there are no records of any human civilization that lived more than 3 generations on plant based diets. We just don’t have the digestive system that plant eating animals have. Carnivore animals are lean with small digestive systems while herbivore animals are fat with large digestive systems. Mood is strongly associated with diet.
Ive tried eating meat a few times since becoming a vegetarian and I just hate eating it (texture, taste, flavors).
I was definitely moody before becoming a vegetarian.
Absolutely no. And also you don’t need any therapy ✌️👊
I enjoyed seeing a counselor for a bit for like a month and a half.
therapy on zoom just doesn’t work for me and that’s my only option rn.
plus, it’s complicated dealing with medicine bc I go to college out of state.
ugh.
Family or friends
Don’t let some twat/prick convince you some medicine is going to make your brain process anxiety/life any better. It simply numbs the senses to make you more robotic and fall in line with their bs.
Just remember. Between those ears is all you need to be happy. It is a choice, not a chore. 🤷♂️🫶✌️
You're perfect. Don't trust doctors, there after the weak minded to swallow pills.
