Yesterday was absolutely awful. I woke up feeling like shit. Slept in an extra 2 hours and was still tired after. Couldn’t focus at ALL at work, to an extreme. I would open up a browser on my computer to complete a task but then I would just stare at the empty new tab and wonder “hmm what was it I was trying to do? I can’t remember.”
I spent all day fucking around at the office watching Super Smash Bros tournaments and texting people. Then I went home early so that I could try and take a nap, relax, go for a forest walk, but I was so tired and had no willpower so i just kept on watching Super Smash Bros videos and eventually watched porn.
By the time 6pm rolled around I was straight up DEPRESSED! Slouched shoulders, couldn’t engage with my gf when she talked to me, wasn’t interested in anything or anyone. I’d pick up a book and then could barely focus on it. I’d practice juggling for a bit (the best part of all of yesterday, for sure) but then got tired of it after 15 minutes.
Come night time, I’m trying to read, and my girlfriend is super happy and wants to talk to me so I tell her to let me read… she gets a bit upset and then I just start fucking yelling at her out of nowhere.
So bad. Honestly I felt like shit and took it out on her. Then I dug into her about it later and made her apologize for being wrong. Jesus christ I was being an asshole.
At first I thought this was recon from the washout, but then I realized where it’s from and I know for a fact that it has nothing to do with my subliminal journey.
I went off of Keto this week because I was feeling so good. Even on days that I ate carbs (I have a cheat day once a week that is an important part, re-introducing carbs reduces long term side effects), I felt amazing, so I thought “why not try a normal diet for a bit.”
I felt great on day one and OK on day two, but I was back to full on depression mode by day 3, aka yesterday.
Day 4 I feel more of the same, although not quite so shitty, but I woke up and slept in for an extra 1.5 hours today like yesterday, with very low energy, distractibility, a totally depleted work ethic, anxiety, and low focus. YouTube and online distractions are way more appealing than solving problems and doing work.
Definitely going back into keto today. Drinking triple the normal amount of coffee to get the fat burning process going, eating a shit ton of pumpkin seeds for fat and fiber, and I’m going to go for a loooong run later today to burn out all the excess glycogen.
Luckily I’m so fat adapted that I should be back in keto by tomorrow morning without any keto-flu symptoms.
