I’m dealing with pretty severe depression right now, and it feels worse than ever. I think this should be my main focus, as it has led to anhedonia. This should be my main priority as this is a life threatening issue.
I have some GI, like bloating and gas, especially in the evenings.=> You probably suffer from leaky gut (zonulin) and your microbiota is upside down (gas and bloating). Impact 70-80 % on immunity.
Your brain lacks useful nutrients (deprived by overgrowth) and it impacts neurotransmitters.

Hi! Yes our case seems to be very similar indeed.I also get the white tongue coating daily. I should mention that I also work on lymphatic drainage but it seems to do nothing for me. I have never used any antihistamines though.
I am unsure as to whether there is a single event I can point out. My life was pretty much perfect up until ~13yrs old - but I suppose this is the case for many people. Everything did start maybe 2 years ago but has been in a downwards spiral. Some issues like acne I of course struggled with for longer.
I did use accutane (not full course) and antibiotics to treat the acne. It worked but it came back when I quit. This is a strong drug so I am sure it contributed, but life was still good for like 2 years afterwards so there is no direct correlation.
You do touch on some interesting points that I may have overlooked, and I will look into. Thanks!

Hi!
As I mentioned I do struggle with this. That is not something I always did though. I can not bond with people because I do not care for them, and it seems I cannot care for them. Relationship with family I would say is average so likely not that. I have friends and have increased the amount of time I spend with them.I have worked with a psychologist for this but I wasted tons of money and effort doing their stupid exercises which yield no results.
So one of my main problems is of course this but I would say that this is more of a result rather than a cause. If you have any ideas on how to improve here I would greatly appreciate them! Thanks for your insight!

Hello! I have thought about this too. I was at the dentist a few days ago and they claimed teeth health was better than ever and only found very minor inflammation in some parts of the gum. All but one wisdom teeth has emerged. I would for sure want the last one to emerge so if you have any ideas please tell me.As for the flu/cold I have not been sick in well over 2 years. It is all contradicting right? That is why I cannot figure anything out :)…

@Rah1woot
Hi! When it all started life was pretty good, had tons of hobbies and school at the same time. So the entire thing started when life was seemingly pretty good, which is strange. Still I have hobbies and friends that I spend time with. Currently I am self-employed because I found something that works very well and I always have something to do, but I do for sure lack some motivation as mentioned.I have also worked with a psychologist for these kinds of issues and we changed a lot of habits/lifestyle in this regard over a long time. Did not seem to matter. I think what matters after all is neurotransmitters and hormones and I am unsure how to improve them unfortunately.
Thanks for your comment.

@LucH
Hello! I have thought about this and tried antibiotics for the SIBO. I tried some other protocols for this as well but to no avail. What would you recommend to treat these kinds of issues? Thanks! -
OP
What is your waking temperature?
What is your morning temperature in a relaxed state 20-30 minutes after eating breakfast? -

Too soon to give a direction.
- White tongue = candidiasis supposed.
=> Control with the glass of water and saliva.
If positive, it’s the first thing to deal with. - I need to get more information on the bloating and gas symptoms.
- How do the stools smell, form and frequency.
- Fermentation in the stomach or in the second part of the colon.
Note: If you try to begin a treatment before targeting the right bacteria, you’re going to enhance a selection. You won’t kill all the bacteria and some bacteria are going to hide behind a film, waiting to come back and stronger. Have you ever heard of quorum sensing? Association and selection of some bacteria, overgrowth and unbalanced to the profit of some leaders.
- Enflamed gums are the entry point for bacteria. You will also need to find out how to get rid of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in order to avoid overloading the liver and feeling unwell.
- Pain in different parts of the body could be due to stress. But excess histamine and oxalates are going to make things more difficult.
In summary, don’t undertake a cure before having a large view. It would be better to be followed by a health practitioner, even if you tell him what you want. He must be open-minded, to accept suggestion. Of course, you’ll have to explain him why ...

@Peatful
Hi! Waking temperature between 36.9-37.1 C generally. Tend to be a bit warmer later. I do not have any recorded temps after breakfast so I would have to get back to you on this.I am guessing these questions are regarding metabolism. My T3 is upper range at ~4pg/mL and T4 is also upper range with TSH ~1. I eat like a horse even in times when I do not work out. I would guess hypometabolism is not an issue on my end but maybe you would disagree.
-
The reason I wanted both temps is because I need to compare them
Before your response to me
It was likely that you are in a stressed metabolic stateHaving a waking temp of 98.4 combined with your symptoms
Does indicate a stressed driven metabolismInteresting if you knew your reverse T3
Although not paramountTo beat to the chase
Knowing what little data we have on you
What may be causing or definitely adding to your complaints
You may simply be too lean for whatever your energy needs are
It may have you in that stressed statePlus
Blood sugar regulation is important tooAgain
If your temp is 98.4 waking
That may be a cortisol driven thingMore data needed

@ilnyarienàfaire Am mid 20s now but have felt the same way as you when I was 17-20 at times. Do you smoke weed? Do you have a vision for your future?

@LucH
Very interesting insights! I will for sure do the candida test. What is a proper treatment for candida in your opinion? Would caprylic acid work?Regarding the other GI issues:
- Smell is generally not too bad, but sometimes it is especially on tudca when experiencing "bile dumps".
- I have up to 4 bowel movements per day and average I would say is a bit more than 2. The consistency has improved.
- On the bristol stool chart it is usually between 3-4 but rarely 5-6 as well. During the 5-6 days I seem to have less bowel movements in total.
- I would guess fermentation is in the stomach as I generally have the bloating issues quickly after eating.
I generally eat very little histamine and oxalate rich foods but I could try to lower it further.
A lot of this stuff I have overlooked and know only very little about. What would you recommend as treatment for these kinds of issues?
Thanks!
-
@Peatful I will get back to you with the exact temps you asked for. The range I gave you is what I remember measuring before but I do not measure often at all. I will collect some data that may help find the root cause. To be continued...
-
@Peatful Yes, I do have a vision, and as far back as I can remember, I have always been very ambitious—and I still am. I do not smoke weed and never have. I also haven't tried any other drugs except for phenibut and alcohol, and I’ve never used nicotine either.
-
@Kilgore I’ve heard some people say that, but others have a completely different opinion, which confuses me. I’m not sure it’s that big of a deal, though. I used to not remember my dreams much, but I wanted to learn about lucid dreaming, so I started keeping a dream journal. Ever since then, I’ve remembered my dreams quite well, and I believe most people could do the same. I’ve noticed that taking glycine before bed helps me dream a little more though. My main point here is that I might not dream more than anyone else, but I do remember them because I learned how.

It could be but only as a part of a plan.

Candida and fungus tactics
Highlighting.
Here is what I said to a forumer (see link underneath)
We need to structure before beginning, structure in terms of strategy.
We hit the nail on the head again and again: Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it’s right to do it. It must be organized and coordinate to avoid withdrawal (protection) behind a biofilm. It’s during the first attack that the opportunistic bacteria/yeasts must be weakened.
We hammer/ cosh them, kick them off or shoot them down. Afterwards we consolidate and finally we have to occupy the place with probiotics.
NB: Get informed on Herxheimer crisis when LPS toxins will saturate the liver. Or you'll panic + stress ...
In summary: Weaken – kick and push out.
Coordinated and planned tactic, which results in a structured scheme:- Weaken (deprivation of resources but not complete abstinence)
- Organize to knock out (limiting the ability to adapt)
- Machin-gun (with increased die-off) + assistance to evacuate LPS endotoxins
- Consolidation (nutrients useful to ensure diversification of commensal bacteria).
- Occupy the place (diversified menus and possible contributions of specific strains depending on the terrain).
X
SIFO => Fungus / fungi (contamination with yeast)
SIBO => Bacteria (contamination by bacteria, without yeast)
• Sifo = presence of fungal opportunist(s) or in the form of yeast (dismorphism) +... other species that may be related to bacteria or microorganisms
• Sibo = the same thing but without the fungal element.

@LucH I have translated the blog post and will run this candida protocol with caprylic acid included. Thanks for the info!

@ilnyarienàfaire On dreams, I think Kilgore is right. I typically have a lot of dreams and feel unrested from them. I almost always oversleep because I am so fatigued from my dreams that I feel too groggy to get up and just go back into the dreams, if that makes sense?
I've noticed that when I do sleep and don't have dreams (or at least don't conciously process I've had them) I feel A LOT more rested when I wake up and waking is a lot easier. I wish I could give advice as to how to dream less but this is my current biggest problem for myself also.
