"Just get therapy" isn't a solution for many (lemmings.world)

It's the new "just get to the gym". For many it won't do jackshit plus outside USA this isn't even a thing in some places. Even worse if you're an immigrant, hell, immigrants go sick to their jobs and do extra days just to not get fired, do you think any of them care about "MeNtAl HEalTh"?

Shit, you would probably get mocked for being "weak" NOBODY I know has taken therapy, and I know alcoholics, divorced, cheaters... That's how my world is.

Sometimes alcohol and adult videos, that's my therapy, and I don't see that changing and can't do anything about it.

I do get the "high" from exercise, especially the intense exercise that leaves my muscles aching for a day or two after. I feel good, and problems seem smaller.

Diet can also have a huge impact on metal health, there is very interesting research ongoing, and suggestive findings now, on how a low carbohydrate diet has a huge impact on mental health. The biggest funder of this research is the Baszucki group (roblox fame), they had a child with bipolar who didn't respond to any intervention until they tried low carb.

Here is my recommendation, in order of easy to hard:

  1. Remove all sugars
  2. Get direct natural sunlight on your skin for a hour a day.
  3. Try to only eat whole foods (nothing from a box, or from a factory).
  4. Try to reduce all carbohydrates
  5. Try to reduce all plant food
  6. Avoid seed oils

There is lots of deep emotions in this space, find what works for you, a dietary trial for 3-6 weeks is something you can do without spending extra money, and then you will know if it works for you. Happy to discuss more here or on !ketogenic@dubvee.org ; or if you just want to look at research https://www.metabolicmind.org/research

Regardless of what anyone tells you (including me), the only thing that is important is your personal outcomes. If something isn't working for you, change it, experiment until it does.
