I haven't delved too deep into the history of this forum but it seems to be more about physical aspects of fasting. Anyone have input about their emotional journey on a fast. Today is Day 7 for me and I had no physical pain/discomfort today as I've had to some extent the last 6 days. In fact I've been chock full of energy and confidence today without any hunger pangs. But, I've been mad and with a short fuse! In the past I would kind internalize or brush off anybody giving me crap but today I didn't. Calling people out and standing my ground and not being agreeable when I usually would. I have to continue working during my fast and for the most part I sit at a desk all day and am left alone. But do have to deal with people and their opinions about my work. Is it part of the process? Thanks for any thoughts.

It seems normal! I was nasty, Impatient, moody, yelled a lot, cried a lot, I went through every emotion in the book over 28 days and came out of it feeling like I'd had a clearing of so many built up emotions. I am on week 3 of refeeding, and I am happy, calm, patient, loving, and so full of energy.
Hang in there... And try to avoid people, haha.- Re: THe emotional side of fasting obijuice

This is a reply to # 2,300,060Well this is kinda personal, but I'll share.
In the later part of my fast I had two bouts of crying, I was balling my eyes out... I am not someone who cries very much, so it came as a surprize.
It felt like I was letting go of trauma from my childhood, and more recent time. I felt so much lighter and peaceful after each time. Such an incredible experience.
I miss all of the cool moments. It truly is a journey and the reward is so so sweet. Looking forward to more.- Re: THe emotional side of fasting obijuice

Congratulations on completion of 7 day fast. I have done numerous fasts and yes, emotions can go up and down. I have had exact reaction to small stuff in a few of my fasts. This shall pass. What worked for me was to breath deep when you know you are going to react with anger. If can spend some time alone and do deep breathing exercise, it will help you.
Take care.

This is a reply to # 2,298,974Killing bad "bugs" too, though. - and parasites, .. and mycoplasma/ intra- and extracellular.
Just for info: as a rule, the intestinal tract of a baby just before birth is sterile - no bacteria of any kind. So if the babies can make it, then we can make it too.
By eating raw foods, organic ones hopefully, and small quantities of probiotics if needed, you can use the advantages of fasting without fear of following dysbiosis. Quite the contrary - it will clean up tissue pathogens like nothing else can.

I felt it as emotional and intellectual empowerment. It was similar to your experience, but I stood my ground without being angry.
I have to add that I was able to choose with whom I speak. I experienced deeper love and understanding for people, than usually. Although these states are not new to me.
