i have learned the hard way that if i dont eat for a long time (8 hrs) i get REALLY depressed and negative. doctor said probably blood sugar, but i had it tested when i was feeling the worst i ever have (hadnt eaten for many hours) and my blood sugar, electrolites, iron, b's and all that was just fine! also he suggested drinking orange juice to raise blood sugar but that does nothing. only high protein foods help. many others in my family are like this but dont have blood sugar problems. i know protein has tyrosine and phenylalanine (tryptophan too) and these build neurotransmitters, but this is just a guess.
Anyone have any insight here?
