I tried a special diet. It was a great placebo for me at first. I read all the natural cure eating books and went all organic. Yes, I also am in great shape and work out but I thought maybe there was something in my diet that was causing the anxiety and depression. Anyway, I did this diet for a year and came up empty handed.

Who knows maybe it just didn't work for me, everyones body is different.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
