A few things today health related. I may start a fitness blog, be on the lookout for that soon.

ONE

I stopped taking St. John's Wort (an over the counter herbal remedy for depression). It DEFINITELY elevated my mood, but too much so it seemed.

I read somewhere that being depressed and anxious has an evolutionary advantatege: it makes you think more analytically.

I definitely wasn't as worried about tests, studying, work, my future, my type A perfectionist headstrong OCD habits definitely fell by the wayside. The funny thing is is that I missed feeling like that. So I have stopped taking it.

I'll take feeling crappy randomly for a day or two over feeling stupid (I felt stupid on this stuff), would never try an SSRI

TWO

going to try to drink a raw egg

Read somewhere about some guy who would drink 28 a day...

Definitely need to try...

Put one in a cup today, but I was hungover, would've puked... psyched myself out

But I will do it

    I didn't know that about St. John's Wort. I might give it a try, see how it goes.

    I know you might not try this, but want I need to relax or smooth out. I go on my bike and just go ride around for a few hours. Really therapeutic for me

    Raw egg and pepper and salt (maybe no salt) is suppose to be a hangover cure.

    lol wat... over the counter drugs are more lethal than street drugs. and anything is a hang over cure. water dilutes the alcohol. foods absorb it. then it takes times for your body to get that alcohol out of your system. basically time only sobers u up.

    A classic breakfast in Japan is a raw egg stirred into fresh, hot rice. It's delicious! Raw eggs aren't that bad...

    Ew... No thanks on the raw egg idea. Just keep your chin up, don't read too far into the crap that's bumming you out. Start working out, it's proven to up your mood, too!

    28 eggs seems like a bit much. I eat plenty of eggs, but I always make sure to cook them. . .

    I like your blog, I can't wait to see more!
