*hugs if wanted* Don't delete, I think you're ok.

Your post sounds like how I feel a lot of the time. I don't even want to get on meds, it's the first thing I tell doctors/therapists. They screwed up my mother and I don't want to deal with all that when I'm already dealing with current problems.

Honestly I think cathartic writing helps me most. Usually I barf it all out in my locked DW, but sometimes I like to blow off a little steam in anon threads here. For the exact same reason, that someone will read it and empathize a bit.

And god, do I want ice cream. I'm trying to eat better in hopes that that will balance out my moods, but ice cream is my weakness. In summer. When a new custard place just opened in town.

Sometimes I have trouble writing when I'm like this. always bad. writing is one of the few things I feel like I have for my own. This is one of those times, so I don't even have that right now as a support. but apparently there's a talk therapist in the area that might be an option. might be worth trying anyway. haven't been down this freakin' hard in a while.

trying more vegetables myself. we got a new blender. we're making kale shakes. :P hasn't fixed anything yet but it's only been a couple weeks.

I gave talk therapy a go last summer when things got really bad, but it kept going around in circles and she let me go. I never had much success with it in the past, either. I think for me, venting out my feelings and analyzing them for myself is a lot better than some privileged doctor sitting there being condescending to me. But I'm a bitter old woman. :P

I just started a "clean diet" a couple of weeks ago too and I can't tell a difference either. I was eating kale raw on salads but I found it much better sauteed with a little oil and salt. I don't know if I could ever have it in shake form, haha.

I was easting kale raw on salads but I found it much better sautéed with a little oil and salt.

You're doing the right thing, because you actually need some fat and vitamin C to fully absorb the nutrients in dark leafy greens. Try drizzling a little olive oil and squeezing half a lemon over your lightly cooked kale.

when I put mine in shakes, there's also typically orange/carrot for vitamin C and a tablespoon of both seed and chocolate for flavor. I think that should help?

I was thinking about the way my family always serves green vegetables--a big squeeze of lemon and a small glug of olive oil, what my grandparents would have called "latherolemono." But probably seeds and the actual flesh of an orange are an even better addition because you get the fiber and the protein. What kinds of seeds are you using? I'm thinking of keeping some hydrated chia seeds in the fridge and stirring them into smoothies and things.
