Inability To Relax Anxiety Poor Sleep
Background:
-2011 Food poisoning
-2013 Major mental health meltdown
-2014 Major gut issues
-Current: Seeing Func. Med. Doc.
> Diagnosed SIBO and Leaky Gut - tells me my adrenal hyperfunction
> methlyation support, high doses NAC, adaptogenic complexes, gut healing & antimicrobial protocol
Since his protocol, especially gut healing, no longer psychotic, no longer strong panic attacks, gut inflammation is way down, gaining back weight.
HOWEVER, still low lingering anxiety that is constant. Fast thoughts, heart pounding, sweaty palms. This is causing poor sleep which just cycles back into anxiety and poor mental health. (Taking NightRest by Source Naturals to help sleep)
In 2013 my mental health broke down soo dramatically, I think this is why I still have lingering anxiety.
I am unable to COMPLETELY relax.....
I am unable to feel like "Ahhhhhhhh............"
I still have unconscious holding of my muscles.
Feels like I was stuck in chronic stress for soo long, that I have an inability to 'Let go..............'
Will this heal in time with the adrenal & gut protocol + NightRest to help sleep?

Or am I missing something?
Note: I do not entirely know if the food poisoning had to do with my mental breakdown and gut health.
All I know is that before the meltdown, I never had any mental health issues.
I am definietly moving in the right direction as far as healing, but this low level anxiety is persistent and messing with my sleep (which I know is a major major healer).
I am trying to move my body into a Parasympathetic dominate state after being catabolic for soo soo longer. However it seems a little stuck in low-grade anxiety.
Any Comments?
