Evening Primrose Oil

Hi everyone. A few weeks ago, or more, I stopped using evenign primrose oil, because someone on my depression discussion mentioned I might not need it if I would use fish oil However, lately I've been feeling worse and worse. Yesterday I was at a really low point, bordering on being as bad as when I went on antidepressants, or a time like that. Last night i felt really paranoid and nervous. All the sudden I remembered that when I felt that way, it helped to take Evening Primrose Oil, so I took 4 of them, chewing them open for greater, faster potency. THis morning i felt MUCH better, and functioned quite well today.

Then i remembered last April when I was at the Tree of Life on a juice fast for 7 days. I went off the oil then, and the last morning when I woke up I heard sounds outside and imagined it was an attack, with people knocking down doors and attacking us. I hate to admit this, but I actually hid under the bed for a while. :) :( eeeekkkk. I truly believe it was something about being off evening primrose oil.

Does anyone know anythign about this??? Could it really be, and if I'm off it I become psychotic or something? I"m not all raw now, but I was during the fast!! (so if the raw diet can help psychosis, you would think I would have been ok??)

I've decided for now its a necessity for me...............

Another theory i have is that depression for me is much worse when I am ovulating, which would be around this time. But I don't know if I['ve ever felt that PARANOID during that time.

Wow, hope that wasn't too revealing about me...... LOL
