Hi I just created this account and don't know if I'm posting in the correct place but I feel like I have to put it somewhere. Basically I've suffered from a general anxiety and depression for years, really sort of heavy, foggy mind, no hope etc.
A week ago or more I started taking probiotics - I read some article or study that suggested some alleviation or other of mental health issues. I didn't expect anything but I'd try anything if I knew it was safe. The past three days my mood has flipped like it never has before, I feel energised, active, possibly going a little too far the other way. It's never happened to such an extent and I've never felt like this. I can't get across how enormous the change is, and how monotonous my mood was prior to this, for months, years. I feel so creative. The idea probiotics could do this is crazy to me but I just have to put this out there. It could be a coincidence and I'm also a little worried that it could be some sort of mania, I don't know, I don't know what I wanted from this post, but I'd like to help others in the same boat as me. Thanks for reading if you got this far, would like to know if you think this is also just an odd coincidence or what. Cheers
