Buzzing.

I have somethings buzzing around my head and feel the need to get them out.
First of all, I think I am getting depressed. It is not that I have sad thoughts, it is just this physical "down" feeling that sometimes leads to me crying or feeling nauseous. It has been getting progressively worse the past month.
It could be any number of things, but this makes the most sense.
I am tired all of the time. I can't seem to get that "up" feeling (especially since I gave up my routine cup of joe and glass o'wine)

After doing some research, here is my plan of action.
-going back to vegetarian, mostly vegan diet
-increase omega 3s
-increase vitamin B complexes
-possible evening primrose
-continue doing 40 min of Cardio 4 times per week
-continue 1 hour Pillates strength training 2 per week
-lots of water per day (72 oz or more)
-limited sugars

Last time I was vegan I was in college and was vegetarian up until the time I got pregnant with my son. Living in a house of meat-eaters, this isn't going to be easy for sure.

I don't want to go on medication if I can help it. I'd rather treat it naturally if possible.

and of course, with the holidays around the corner, it is certainly not helping any.

You have amazing self-control. When I feel depressed, I definitely take it out on myself and my health. I should follow your lead...

I hope the changes you implement help you. You are definitely doing something good for yourself.

I'm seeing a homeopath to help with things right now, I don't know if you're into that sort of stuff but might help if you are feeling crap at the moment, just a thought.
