feeling blue...

May 1, 2007

Hi all, newbie here...

I've been 100% vegan raw for about 3 weeks now and I am

feeling sooo blue. I thought I would experience the opposite -

high energy, vibrancy, clear thoughts, etc. I don't want to

socialize, I'm having a really hard time holding a conversation,

and I just feel really, really down. What's with this? Has anyone

experienced this, and if so, how much longer 'til I cheer up?

I was this way too. Once my husband woke up (he works night shift from home) I

was in bed for about 3 weeks. Blue, feeling awful, feeling like I was going

through drug withdrawal. I was also greiving my " past life " diet. We have 4

kids and I'm the only one eating raw.

I think the worst is not feeling good and feeling depressed. It was explained

to me that this is normal. The body cleanses the " old " junk out. There are

times when I feel nauseous, irritable or I really want a food I haven't eaten in

years. I was told when you're in the process of cleansing, who knows what's

releasing into your system at any given time.

And I'm a newer raw food person. Someone else can probably give a more in-depth

picture for you.
