I wrote in length about what mental symptoms I was having in another post. Basically, I have anxiety, anhedonia, brain fog, trouble getting motivated, and I'm often irritable/on edge.
Anyway I was looking for postive stories from people who have had luck with diet changes. And if anyone has a reccomendation of a diet to go on, let me know. Currently I'm doing the South Beach diet, and am avoiding Sugar and eating low carb-ish. I'm also gluten free, and dairy free. I'm thinking of eventually moving to something that eliminates more foods. I don't have any digestives issues though.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,924,777Anything that actively moves energy in the body. For example trance meditation (leading yourself into a state of mind awake/body asleep) will naturally open energy channels, tactile imaging (which is where you imagine feeling tactile sensation such as massage etc to move energy) works very well, visualization works for some but never worked for me, horse stance, tai chi, basically anything that brings awareness into the body with intention to move energy. you definitely want to focus on grounding to the earth. Energy work by robert bruce is a pretty good read.
Remember also that all energy is sexual/emotional energy. It is not some abstract thing you have to discover. You just have to discern it from the myriad of other sensations in your body (mainly pain lol)

This is a reply to # 1,924,791also don't forget the amazingly powerful hot-cold water therapy. You can do it right in your shower: just go from very hot but tolerable water to as cold as you can make it. Shout, scream, cry, jump up and down, express whatever you feel, just do it for 1 minute then go back to hot water and relax, do it for 1 minute then go back to cold water. Do this for 6 or 7 rounds and I guarantee you it will lift ANY depression... because Depression is simply stuck energy and hot/cold water therapy will definitely move something :)

"Remember also that all energy is sexual/emotional energy."
You have just described the 2nd chakra - which everyone on the planet has. But you've omitted the other six major chakras.
Learn to clear out each of your chakras, your energy channels, and your kundalini channels too, and that will cleanse your spiritual body which then cleanses your physical body and promotes physical healing.
We are each a bright shinning spiritual light. We are neither our sexuality or emotions.

This is a reply to # 1,925,897You obviously have no actual experience with energy.
Stop blindly following gurus and find your own truth.
"We are neither our sexuality or our emotions"
Complete nonsense. More damage has been done to the spirit of mankind with this unintegrated, arrogant, perverse and dissociative pseudo spirituality than any other cult-like brainwashing.
Own your darkness, integrate your ego and emotions, then maybe you will have some actual light to speak about. REAL light, not airy fairy, "we are not our sexuality or our emotions" schizophrenic pseudo light coming from your 35th chakra.

"You obviously have no actual experience with energy."
You've got it backwards. I've been meditating by running my energies on a daily basis for well over thirty years - without a guru, without even a group. Your chakras, each of them, is something you experience - you don't think about them. Turn within and you will find and experience your chakras and channels - all of them. In fact, thinking about anything is a body energy and will not benefit you for spiritual pursuits.
When you learn to recognize and experience who you are, the programming of others disappears.
I am my own guru - each and everyone of us has a guru within us. That's where all my answers are, and that's where all of your answers are at as well.

This is a reply to # 1,925,929Following a guru on the inside, which is what you have been doing, is just as bad as following a guru on the outside. It has led you down a false path of spirituality that dissociated you from your own body. This force, however it may present itself to you, is disconnecting you from your body. A true soul, or aspect of source, would always ALWAYS lead you to the TRUTH which is: your body is THE most important facet of spirituality and it is fundamentally who YOU are; whether you are floating around in some light realm or taking a dump on the toilet.
Some part of you (probably your body) wants to know the truth which is why your need to comment on my post led you to starting this conversation with me. Well, welcome to my reality.
It is good for you; you need to hear the truth. The body is the foundation of all genuine spirituality. All of life is connected and every part of creation is an important and vital component of the whole.
"In fact, thinking about anything is a body energy and will not benefit you for spiritual pursuits"
Simply nonsense. Thoughts and emotions are energies that need to be integrated with the physical body for genuine spiritual pursuits to be actualized. Body energy is deeply, profoundly vital to spirituality. Your statement could not be any more ridiculous. Who don't you go put 12 mercury fillings in your mouth, take a few rounds of Antibiotics , eat McDonalds 3 times a day, watch 6 hours of television, and drink water loaded with pineal-gland-shrinking fluoride and then try and preach to me about all the benefits of spiritual pursuits you are receiving! You have got to be absolutely out of your mind. In fact, this is the problem: you are out of your mind and out of your body floating around as some spark of light in the 117th dimensional realm of the Grand Order of Melchizedek.
You claim to have only followed your own truth for the past 30 years but someone, or something at some point in time gave you the erroneous idea that you are not your sexuality or your emotions, and that body energies will not benefit you for spiritual pursuits. In other words, you have been following the programming of other spiritually brainwashed dogmatists instead of learning to recognize who and what you are, which is obviously your body.

"Following a guru on the inside, which is what you have been doing, is just as bad as following a guru on the outside."
As I said before - the only guru I follow is within me and everyone of us has that same guru within us. Luke 17:21: "...behold, the kingdom of God is within you." I'll take that direction over what you wrote - any day.
"A true soul, or aspect of source, would always ALWAYS lead you to the TRUTH which is: your body is THE most important facet of spirituality and it is fundamentally who YOU are; whether you are floating around in some light realm or taking a dump on the toilet."
Body and spirit are completely different. Everybody on the Planet has a "true soul" within themselves and that's what we are here to do - to find it. Your body is only a temporary temple for you the spirit and your spirit - your true source, is leading you in every step you take whether it is in prayer, hitting your spouse, or the murder of your worst enemy. You are here to learn to follow the path that you mapped out before you as spirit took a body. Once again, to learn your "true soul" simply do as a spiritual leader taught 2,000 years ago and look within yourself.
"In fact, thinking about anything is a body energy and will not benefit you for spiritual pursuits"
"Simply nonsense. Thoughts and emotions are energies that need to be integrated with the physical body for genuine spiritual pursuits to be actualized. Body energy is deeply, profoundly vital to spirituality. Your statement could not be any more ridiculous."Thoughts and emotions are all body energies - not spiritual energies. Turn off your thoughts for a few minutes. Just allow yourself to be. Body energy can be used to learn about spirit. The energies that are constantly moving in your chakras and energy system are available to heal you - if you turn within and acknowledge them.
"You claim to have only followed your own truth for the past 30 years but someone, or something at some point in time gave you the erroneous idea that you are a shining bright light and you are not your sexuality or your emotions, and that body energies will not benefit you for spiritual pursuits. In other words, you have been following the programming of others instead of learning to recognize who and what you are, which is obviously your body."
I take my direction from a very good source who in Matthew 5:14 said: "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden." (emphasis added)
All you have to do to find the light within is to look there - and that goes for everyone on the Planet. To believe that you are your sexuality and emotions is a naive, childish view of reality. Love (4th chakra) has no connection whatsoever with sex and emotions (2nd chakra) - and never will.
1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
Do you really think that that verse says that "God is sex and emotions?"

By the way - read about Rudi's NDE at the NDE site here on CZ. Very similar to thousands and thousands of other NDE's and very heartwarming too.
When you think that you are just sex and emotions, you haven't even reached puberty yet.

This is a reply to # 1,926,091I know this is old but just like me others may end up reading this thread I want to comment on something. I was actually appreciating some of MichaelB's advice until he started putting #136970 down. Right then I just perceived him as a very angry man with no tolerance for differing points of view, which is not very mature IMO, and much less spiritual. Anyone who is convinced they know the truth doesn't have to resort to putting others down by calling what they believe "nonsense", etc., to me it was like watching someone becoming unhinged because their dogmatic beliefs had been challenged, too bad... To be honest, in the end I found it rather amusing and enlightening, and #136970 I think you handled it all pretty well, this whole thing taught me a little something.
As for the OP, Katie66, I hope the changes you made have been helping. I always found in the past that cleaning up my diet, taking some supplements and exercising were of great help so that's what I'm trying to do right now myself. Best wishes!

This is a reply to # 1,924,763If you haven't already tried it, you might want to consider adhering to a very strict sleep-wake schedule for a while to see if it helps. Some people are very sensitive to shifts of even a couple hours in bed or wake time, even if it's just on weekends. It can cause brain fog and irregular mood swings in some people that persist for days after.

Some people such as myself have a genetic predisposition/sensitivity to Depression and other mental health problems, including anxiety, brain fog, irritability and so on.
My own depression/anxiety/brain fog was cured through dietary means, and in particular with the use of targeted quality supplemental nutrients.
I follow the Nutritarian lifestyle/diet as a basis for improving cellular health and which has its origins within Natural Hygiene............
http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/are-you-a-nutritarian.aspx
Targeted and effective supplements to combat your health problems would include........
#1. Vitamin D3 of at least 6000ius per day but serum 25(OH)D levels need to be tested for levels for at least 50 to 70 ng/ml

You may also wish to consider detoxing your body/brain which is most likely causing many of your problems, and where this method is one of the most expedient................

If you take a holistic approach to your health, and include not only diet but exercise, fresh air, sunlight exposure, adequate rest and sleep, and as your body calls for, then you will be rewarded with superb bodily and mental health given sufficient time.
Nature works very slowly.

This is a reply to # 1,924,838Chrisb,
I read some of the links you posted and have a few questions, if you don't mind.
What is neurozan and how does it work? Do you have a good source for more information on dosage of b3 and whether niacinamide is adequate. I hope I am not causing too much work in asking these vs. googling. I find there are many opinions on these issues but prefer to read recommended/reliable sources!
Thanks much,
:) - Re: Were anyone's mental problems he... Golthing

This is a reply to # 1,924,763Hi Katie66,
Low carb may be the culprit. We need carbs, those that get to few can have those symptoms. Our brains dont function properly if deficient.
Age plays a role, along with hormonal balances. As we age, our dietary needs change. This varies form individual to individual.
Coconut oil has been shown to act as carbs in the body, Although it is saturated fat, it does not cause problems, being it is plant based.
Maybe try to incorporate this into your diet.
Begin gradually.
I will follow this post in the event you have questions, or PM me and I will reply.
