Over the last I don't know how long I've had days where I feel completely flat, numb to the outside world, which I can only describe as symptoms of depression. In social situations I can experience debilitating nervousness where I can barely talk and feel like a complete outsider. However, over months of experiences I've noticed a bar of chocolate (90g typically) seems to remedy these feelings and I begin to feel elated, all of a sudden my bowels move after sometimes days of being constipated (despite eating all good foods / peaty or otherwise, I've tried it all). Even after this n-1 experiment I always feel conscious of smashing chocolate down all day as it is so calorific and I have body image issues as it is so I end up abstaining from using this quick fix every time.
My question lies as to why this could be happening, is it possibly I'm mineral deficient and the high mineral content is alleviating this? I don't think it's the caffeine as coffee doesn't provide the same benefits as chocolate. I have my suspicions that it could be something to do with the stearic acid sterilising my gut as I become incredibly regular when I eat 200g+ chocolate per day, but I cannot seem to achieve this regularity with any of the peat approved methods.
Thanks all
