This last week has been hell. As I said I've been on this diet before -- then I got lazy and relapsed. Now I'm doing it again and I thought I was starting to get better but then I've had what I thought was really bad die off that started around Sunday. Now I cannot stop crying. I've been feeling really depressed, crying spells, diarrhea, strange excess discharge that has some white flakes in it from the reproductive nether regions, and my eczema (the main symptom I have) in some areas improved but now I have a weepy rash on my arms from scratching and my skin on my face is really dry. It is so bad I don't want to go out in public. I think I might have been taking too much GSE, and I will probably switch to a weaker anti-fungal -- I seem to do better with garlic perhaps.

I also added tea tree oil to the carrier oil I moisturize with daily, and am wondering if that dried my skin out even more.

I cannot even begin to tell you how depressed I feel, and how ashamed of myself I am for being so depressed. I don't know if it's die-off, of being homesick as I am living overseas and if stress from moving around is a factor or what... I was in the moving process before when I did this, and I got better.

I can handle this when I see the benefits, but I don't see them right now and I'm at wits end. I don't remember my die-off being this bad but then again that was many months ago.
