Did they confirm thyroid? Yes, i'm guilty of scanning the thread. I'll go back and read. The first thing i assume she needs is full blood panel done. See what/or if anything is lacking.
Now...this is a long shot, but hear me out. I went through something a few years ago that i never experienced before. I woke one day out of the blue in a 'doom and gloom' mood. Through out the day, it got more extreme. Over the next few days, it got worst and worst. After a few more days, it got so bad that i wouldn't get out of bed. There was no joy in anything...i was dead inside. Went to Dr's and they told me i was depressed and needed medication (of course they did). I told the Dr's that i don't have a history of it. They didn't care, they wanted me on medication.
The next day i got to a place in mind where i thought to myself, there is no fucking way i'm going to live like this. If this is the way it is, i'm fucking out of here. Yes, it was that bad. Again, never in my life have i ever went through any of this. I always hear of people having depression, but i never believed (or understood) how bad it can really get.
Now my girl is a nutrition whore. She came in with the thought of taking a list of everything i've eaten over the past week. After an hour of going through this process, she sat there staring at the page. She told me to "wait here and don't kill yourself till i get back."
Next I hear the blender going and she comes back with a drink and makes me drink it. After i slam it, she gives me another. Over the next 5 minutes, i swear to god, that doom and gloom drained from my body. I can't even explain that drain feeling. From then on, never experienced it again.
The problem? Lack of protein in my diet. What she gave me was a protein drink she put together. But what exactly happened? During my process of learning to eat vegetarian, i was cutting out/skipping some of the most basic principles. And that was my fault because i want to learn myself so it'll stick. If someone walks me through it, i won't remember it. Tough lesson learned.
I'm not saying at all the diet is the cure all or answer, but it's place to consider and certainly research. If it wasn't for her, i would be on medication right now, or dead.
