Would it surprise you to know that I’m experiencing both right now? Don’t wait, ask me how you too can feel bad today!

Is it “decades of familial abuse, aided by doctors, teachers, and everyone else aroundC and denied your whole life, resulting in massive health issues?”

Because that’s why I feel bad.

At least you have an excuse. I'm just unhappy for no good reason.

You don’t need to excuse how you feel bro. Have you seen a doctor of therapist?

Yeah I have in the past but it's never been revolutionary for me. Idk I honestly feel like I'm in a better place than I used to be. I just have to stay busy.

Well I’m glad you are in a better place and that will keep on progressing. It might be worth bringing it up at your next checkup, especially if it’s a new doctor

Same dude. I’ve tried therapies, multiple meds, major changes of scenery, damn near everything and yet my standard operating mood is still somewhere between meh and misery

If I can maintain at meh I'm happy, its the misery that is tough.

Fucked intestinal microflora?

It's definitely part of it. Low fodmap has been helping but I tried a new probiotic today and it wrecked my guts.

I also have fodmap intolerance (and a whole host of mental stuff, both trauma and ASD/OCD/Tourettes neurotype repated) and it has helped me too. Though its not a long term solution ideally keep in mind, it can cause you to not get enough nutrients.

probiotics are a mixed bag, you are pretty much playing russian roulette.

Fecal transplants help w such primary cases of depression, EDs and so on.

Honestly what helped me the most has been being on antibiotics. Soon as they ran out though, my stomach issues came back. I thought I had cured all of that while I was on them. So I'm continuing the low fodmap and experimenting with probiotics. Your right though it's literally Russian roulette. I started one today and it had me cramping up all day. I think I'm going to try and get into fermenting foods and making my own yogurt.

fermented stuff is good, if low fodmap yes.

These probiotics have a higher success rate than synthetic ones. I had ideas of fermenting fruit soy yogurt (its good!) on my own, but dropped it because in europe soy milk is high fodmap so and they dont sell small tetra-pak of soy milk, only 1 L sadly.

I read ‘I contain multitudes’. It’s not a nutrition book but it does has information about probiotics and probiotics. Might be worth checking out. It’s a bit discouraging of probiotics, but seems to indicate some prebiotics can be useful.

Depression and other mental health issues do not need to have an "excuse." You don't need some giant trauma or "a good reason" to have a valid problem, and you still deserve help and support regardless. I hope things improve for you

Don't forget being undiagnosed ADHD/Autism whilst lectured by parents because "everyone is a bit ADHD/Autistic".

We are on Reddit, there are dozens of healthy ones... Most of them are on Instagram to get unhappy, but we are already unhappy so we chose reddit!

Would you like me to get the Reddit crisis services to send you support information?

I get that sent to me every time I post on more.. progressive suggestions, in more.. regressive subs.

That’s why I asked this person instead of just doing it. It can feel like an attack, especially if people have used it as an attack against you before.
