I have began following more of Peat's advice in the past couple of weeks (2+ quarts of skim milk a day with lots of sugar, salt, and cocoa powder, 1 quart of OJ, 1 fruit smoothie with coconut, aspirin, coffee, K, E, D, a couple of carrots, various other supplements) usually amounting to 2500-2800 calories. Before then I was probably averaging 1500 calories a day.
I avoiding working most of the week and find around 2-3pm, I usually wake up 9-10, that I am groggy and ready for a nap. Whenever I try to read (I will be returning to school in the fall) I find that I cannot focus and usually think of some embarrassing thing I did in the past (I had a prolonged (3-4 year) , isolated, psychotic break and have done plenty of very stupid things). When I was at school, I occasionally fell asleep in the middle of lecture.
Life has always been stressful (parents divorced when I was young, constant academic pressure, lack of personal goals and interests).
When I am waiting to go to sleep, I am usually very mentally active, trying to think of someway to make more money (I work for minimum wage) but I usually just iterate through the same trains of thought ("I have wasted my life/ am wasting my life", "I hate my job", "I don't like other people"). Aspirin has been helpful with sleeping.
I have thought about pregnenolone supplements but I do not have the resources to pay for the appropriate tests. I am also trying to collect my thoughts to ask RP for advice directly.
Any thoughts?
