Depersonalization...Candida...and MCS. HELP!

hello..I really need some help.

For 2 1/2 years I've had Depersonalization Disorder...brought on by fear and anxiety. I've had a constant feeling of unreality...brain fog..inability to focus..etc. I had to quit my office job...and have been "roaming" for the past year.

While at my office job..which was coincidently in a building w/ a black mold problem...I began to develop some weird symptoms. Sebhorreic Dermatitis on my scalp and face...and I became increasingly intolerant of alcohol..(I was a "big" drinker..stupid).

About 5 months ago I began a Candida Diet..thinking that this might be part of my problem. I had taken TONS of Antibiotics as a child for ear problems..and a good chunk as an adult. The strict diet for a month made me feel odd..tehn I began to take the Candida killing supplements...I had a REALLY severe reaction..and had to stop the supplements after 1 week..this was at the beginning of June...I stuck w/ teh diet for about 1 more month...then i weaned myself off...introduced breads..sugars..and alcohol back into my diet...gradually. My symptoms..Brain Fog..and Unreality increased 100X from when I began the Candida Supplements and had a die-off reaction...thye have not returned to baseline..which is terrifying to me..I can barely read a single page now.

About 2 1/2 years ago I began to notice that odors were becoming bothersome. Car Exhaust in particular. Dishwashing detergent..cigeratte smoke! About 6 months ago..other smells began to bother me..oil paints..things were starting to make me light-headed...foggy.

Fastfwd..I moved back home to my folks place...things had gone from bad to worse. My parents had all their hardwood floor removed, replaced, and stain..or polyeurathane..whatever the hell it is...placed all over the floor. I couldn't stand 1 minute in the house.. I bought a cheap new tent..and decided to sleep outside. I noticed my brain fog getting worse. Finally after three weeks outside..i figureed that the smell had aired out enough..I slept in my room for 1 night. This was 4 days ago. I woke up with the WORST brain fog. I became filled with anxiety..that perhaps I had poisoned myself..and that the brain fog wouldn't go away. Well..teh fog hasn't lifted and I'm very scared..especially after reading conflicting reports on MCS and brain fog. I considered that perhaps the fire retardant in my tent was making things worse..and teh one night in the house just sent me over the edge. I slept in a hotel last night..and am looking for a canvas tent today.

My question...CAN I GET BETTER? Can my brain fog lift if I avoid the chemicals which cause it? My parents have slept in the house for three weeks with no problems. I've read about the connection of Candida and MCS..and aldehyde..I purchased some Pantethine..and am waiting for it to arrive. I've read reports of people treating Candida..and their MCS's eased up..Can I recover? Can I do anything to ease the brain fog..and bring back my mental clarity? Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

BTW..8 years ago I caught EBV...and it became a Chronic infection for about 4 years..It's under control now.
