I cheated and had an anxiety attack


(Kiwi ) #21

Hello :wave:t2: . Before starting keto I did not have anxiety surrounding bread in particular, no, but due to my other issues (autism and ADD) I do have random anxiety that is hard to pinpoint unless/until I carefully analyze the situation.

I ate the sandwich at the pool, there were a lot of people there and I can often be overwhelmed in social situations even when I am enjoying them. This seems to not make much sense, but it’s my reality. I was also concerned about the safety of my three children in the pool. My husband was keeping an eye on them, and I trust him fully, but I am still a mother after all and drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under 4. I couldn’t go in the pool fully myself because I had surgery the previous week and couldn’t get my surgical site wet.

All that to say; there were many factors at play. I cannot pretend to know exactly why my body/mind reacted the way it did. All I can do is learn from the situation and proceed accordingly.

Ok. Let’s start from here. Might not be able to figure it out until it happens again unfortuneately…

Update; I took someone’s advice on here and did keto first. Probably closer to ketovore but I didn’t jump into full carnivore nonetheless. I feel a lot better!!! No more heel spurs, no knee pain, no dandruff, and I’ve lost over 10 pounds in a month.

The best part is - my milk supply is still great!! My children are eating a whole lot more meat these days also, which makes my husband happy, though he periodically asks me when the last time I had my “greens” was.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Excellent news. Win win win …. And after 6 months on keto I also have this mad idea I need greens. Despite the cramps
