Feeling Desperate and Trapped
I'm struggling with chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety attacks (more recently again), candida, adrenal fatigue, and probably parasites among other things!
I feel completely out of balance.
My boyfriend and I broke up last week. I'm back at my parent's house, feeling restless and scared. I tried 3 days of antidepressants, but it made my anxiety unbearable. I know I can heal my imbalances through raw/cleanses, but I don't know how exactly, and cant stick to it! I've been trying for 3 years!
I just feel like I'm going to end up back in the hospital for depression/suicide. I can't seem to handle all of this.
I just wish I could afford a retreat. It might save my life.

Hi Sabrina! I think all of the advice above is good. I just want to send some healing energy your way~~~~=)
I would try some special herb teas like roobios. Eating sprouted garbanzos can increase endorphins. I think they are good with pickled jalepenos and red peppers- with a little olive oil and redwine vinegar and garlic.
I would focus on very calming foods like blended almonds into a creamy consistency with a little agave or dates and cinnamon. Make raw soups with bright colors like red peppers and cashews and spices, yellow peppers and macadamia nuts, cilantro and pumpkin seeds.
A long warm bath with herbal tea is where I would start. I know you can get through this! Lots of love and light your way! =) =) =)

Someone very near and dear to my heart is going through much of the same things you are: depression, a break-up, hospitalization for depression/suicidal thoughts. They are on medication now and it is seeming to help, but I have a strong feeling that if they were to give Raw a good fighting chance for a month, and prayed for help and guidance, they would begin to feel better and better. I am praying for you. And you are more than welcome to keep in touch with me and I will try to be of some support. :o) You can do this!! I have faith in you!

I can tell you need some dirt in your life :) It's what I did after I broke up with my boyfriend...I think it saved my life.

I like to do fasts as well and I think the power in fasting is that its a remedial action, one part of the process of purifiying. For instance if you feel you have a lot of non-virtuous residue or spiritual obstacles to remove, you generate regret...
For all you artists who just happen to be Raw! Or... for all you Raw foodists who just happen to be artists!
Loren,
Was your fast that regained your health a supervised one, and with whom? How long was your fast? What did you eat like before that?
Do you mind me asking what health challenges you were experiencing?
Who did you intern under yourself? I ...

I love yoga. It has brought so much peace and centeredness to my life.
oh i had a cat that would bite the tip of my nose when i was fast asleep...freaked me right the hell out!
... and this is what happened next!
nice this looks great!
don't agree with the whole raw food creating a damp environment thing because of the wildly different effects of different raw foods. i've found candida to respond to 100% raw, several different approaches.
it would be interesting Mica...
I would love a fasting thread linked with a fruit diet Loren, pleeease :)
with pleasure i would say IG...lol
ha ha Chad...ooops i mean ice goddess leave it sup to you bro?
