I haven't been on the boards in awhile so I decided to pop in and see how things are going. I recently went through a pretty bad patch on my anxiety/depression journey where I was experiencing persistent suicidal thoughts. I informed my psych and he basically told me all they could do was "monitor" me.
I basically got to the point where I was fed up and realized that I needed to make some adjustments to my lifestyle. I'm currently in the process of reducing/eliminating as much sugar as I can from my diet. I'm only a few weeks into this plan and I've noticed a huge difference. My suicidal thoughts have almost disappeared and I'm experiencing less daily anxiety.
I was curious if anyone has noticed a connection between their anxiety/depression and what they are eating or drinking? If anyone has any links to articles or studies on the connection between diet and mental health they would like to share it would be much appreciated as well :)
