Yesterday, most the day I wanted to cry. It was a great day, lots of wonderful things happened, but my sad 'time of the month' hormones were in full swing!
Because of the sadness I was experiencing, I accidentally discovered something to stop the mind-numbing curl me into a ball feel like I'm being stabbed with a knife cramps I get!!! Normally, this would be super exciting because I've been dealing with this issue for years but can't take most things due to my hundreds of allergies.
So what was it? I'll get to that in a second.
Almost a year ago I bought a bottle of pills for my depression. Pills that were on top of helping with depression supposed to increase focus, help with weight loss (not exactly what I wanted but hey most people would consider it a bonus) and in general be fairly beneficial.
In the trial run, I took a double hit of the max dose assuming the stuff worked similar to Prozac and 5-HTP or other antidepressants. Wow was I wrong! I ended up feeling like I was floating. My vision got weird. Hallways appearing much longer and things, in general, seeming out of proportion. The vision side effect is called Macropsia and I felt like Alice in Wonderland but not in a good way!
While that might be fun to some I don't recommend it. It was not worth the two days of horrible stomach pain that followed because of the other side effect of taking too much... EXTREME CONSTIPATION!
Needless to say I never took that much again! I did try the regular dose later but even that caused some stomach discomfort so the pills sat in my fridge taking up space for about a year waiting for a purpose.
Yesterday, depression came on hitting like Mike Tyson so I searched the cupboards for a bottle of 5HTP hoping I found it before I did something stupid like texting a certain someone asking for comfort when that is a last resort right now.
No 5-HTP could be found. Worried about my mental health I cracked open a single pill, hoping to take just enough to take the edge off of the hopeless despair creeping its way in.
I took a microdose of the white bitter powder, about 30 mg, not enough to evade the hammer beating relentlessly at my happiness but enough to fortify my internal reserves. What happened next shocked me!
I didn't even notice I'd started that time of the month until I saw the tell-tale bright red! No sudden collapse to floor in agony, no sharp scream of pain even! Just a bit cold and dizzy from my always low blood pressure dropping even lower. It was amazing!!!
So what was it I took? A substance that is naturally found in chocolate crazily enough! It's the reason we literally love chocolate because it creates feelings similar (or exactly like love!) The long name of this powerful chemical phenylethylamine! The short version of that unpronounceable insanity PEA, but don't try searching for just PEA on Amazon you will get those obnoxious tiny green balls that rolled around your plate at grandma's house. To make life easy on you I've supplied some links to the stuff whether you are looking to lose weight, boost your mood or stop the evil Crampire Crampulus in his tracks!
Once I took the PEA (Phenylethylamine) I found the energy to start working on a different problem that's been plaguing me for a while. My eyelids have been burning and peeling for weeks getting all puffy wrinkly and red.
For the most part, I've been able to hide it or just avoid people on the really bad days but since I'm not yet a full-time blogger/author yet and my investments took a major dive in February and haven't quite recovered I've had to do that whole job and being around people thing.
Most days I've loved getting out of the house, proving I'm getting over being a shut-in and in general had fun but with my eyes going wonky I haven't been as eager to go to work and meet new people. I've felt frustratingly self-conscious and that has interfered with my social skills and thus work.
Deciding to take control I did some research. Once I finally realized it wasn't the same thing as what happened before with allergies I went to my lab aka kitchen!
