"Are you too happy?"
So glad you are feeling better emotionally and mentally. I sure hope you will feel better soon physically as well. Pain stinks!
If you are still doing Paleo and staying gluten free, that might be helping too. Meaning, since I am gluten free, I remember feeling more depressed, sick, tired and emotional when I ate wheat (gluten). Best thing I did, besides VSG, was going gluten free as soon as I found out I could have surgery. That was the deal I made with myself. So glad I did. When I accidentally eat wheat now, I know right away, I get a headache, ear ache and my sinus' start clogging up. Just wanted to encourage you to stay gluten free, if possible. Many people feel so much better cutting it out of their diet. Not saying that was the only thing that helped. Obviously, you taking the step to talk to someone and work through things was the major part, but all the other things you have done add up too. Including your more positive, happy outlook.
Excited for you and so hoping your back is better soon!
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
