I've had problems digesting food for many years. I was extolling the virtues of white rice a few days ago, well, it digests quite well but I was getting headaches and today met a support worker and felt completely emotionally and sensory overwhelmed with the experience. And I pinpointed rice was the key issue. In the past I've realised similar from beans or peas, potatoes and so on.
About 7 years ago I used to eat just meat and vegetables, I think I managed that for a month or two. I got very thin but emotionally had never felt more in control of myself and the sensory overload wasn't happening so much. The only thing is, at times I felt so detached from people. I can recall going out in public and feeling I was just watching other people live and although I felt a serene inner peace of sorts, I was also lonely.
Well I'm going to go on a similar diet again, though perhaps now I'm older and more experienced I'll be able to figure out how to get more calories. I might drink a glass of olive oil if I'm getting too thin. I had a cooking class with an Italian teacher once and she poured some olive oil into her hands and drank it, saying how glorious it was. So it's not all that unusual.
I'm thinking of roasting a chicken every other day and so eating half a roast chicken daily. Then having a mountain of vegetables for my meals otherwise, maybe stir-fried as it's a quick cooking method and tastes nice.
Fruit is probably okay too and is a source of energy. I could eat bananas and avocados which are high calorie for fruit.
I could eat lots of eggs if I lose too much weight. I'm partial to a 3 egg omelette.
I've got to get this sorted as I desire more money, love and achievements. I can't fulfill my potential while I'm laden down with headaches, sensory overload and social anxiety.
I want to feel happier. I've been depressed for too long. I know if I was happier I'd attract more friends, love and financial opportunities. When I was a child, up until about the age of 12 I was happy. I had a lot more friends than I do now. I did better at learning as a child than I do now. I'm pretty sure emotion is essential.
