I just read through dopamine's thread on depression and there was so much good info with the responses. My story and struggles are somewhat different than his so I thought I would make my own thread and not hijack his.
I have been struggling with these fatigue/hypothyroid issues ever since I started Paleo in 2009 but all that time I had a really good appetite up until 9 months ago and now it is totally in the tank.
My wife thinks it's depression. I agree that it could be as I virtually have no challenge in my life and I am really struggling with anger in numerous situations in my life which I am sure contributes to the sleep issues.
I have tried virtually every supplement that RP suggests trying. With almost everything I feel nothing. Thyroid seems to do nothing for my pulse, temp and energy.
Most days I urinate several times a day and the urine is clear and cold feet so much of the day.
One of the things that I can't help but notice is that the more sugar I eat the more my appetite seems to decrease. The last two weeks I really ramped up the sugar to try and help with the adrenaline issues and even though it seems like it MAY be helping slightly I don't feel like eating anything, especially breakfast.
I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place and some days I like giving up completely on everything.
One of our kids is pretty hyper and loud and many days I feel like it takes every bit of strength I have not to go insane or totally lose it.
I will be the first to admit that I definitely seem to struggle with compulsitivity or getting very stressed out over small issues.
Some things I gleaned from dopamine's thread that I am looking into are Naltrexone, Agmatine, CBT.
Thanks for your input
