Hi Morgan,
<< I do too, I was just trying to give a little encouragement. It was not meant to be taken personally.>>
That is why I said I know you meant well:)
Uh, when you say something shouldn't be difficult, isn't that making things personal?
"I would suggest going totally supplement or medication free(are you supplement free? would you use something like lithium orotate?) is almost impossible to maintain over a lifetime for many. And, proper medication treatment can help one avoid feeling too stressed and ward of some of the potential damage stress can do to the brain. "
Uh, I went off of meds because they caused horrific side effects. They were were causing alot more potential damage to my brain than any stress could cause.
I only take a multivitamin and fish oil which I am not going to give up taking.
Having stress from starting a new job is quite normal. It is a good way for me to practice the coping skills I have learned.
If I need to eat more carbohydrates than what the Ketegenic diet allows, so be it as long as I don't eat junk food and stick to healthy foods. And actually, on my new job, because it requires alot of activity, I actually felt better eating more carbs.
" Now you're probably going to take what I just said personally, though I really hope you do not and I did not say what I said because I think you will. Just my humble opinion."
Hmm, if you know I am going to take something personally you say, why did you write what you did? I am not asking to be argumentative but I am just curious.
Why not phrase things in an attempt to clarify where I am coming from?
Why not just simply say something like that you hope that when I am comfortable with my job, I will feel able to apply more of the principles of the diet?
