It’s amazing how weather can impact your mood, we’ve had 2 weeks of nonstop rain, we personally didn’t get flooded so for us that wasn’t a mayor stress however everything just turned to mud so the house became very dirty, we did a massive cleanup today but I still really feel out of sorts today.
While it was raining I decided to focus on my nutrition I was doing really well then yesterday I had a full on allergy attack due to a buildup of salicylates in my system so now I need to go back to the drawing board & refigure that side of things out again. I’m not feeling depressed however I’m feeling very overwhelmed by it because I’m literally doing it on my own, my brain is in pain literally, the majority of the food recommend for me I cannot have so I have decided to take some time to reassess my needs.

Thanks for your post and for reaching out. Sounds like a feeling of overwhelm is completely appropriate in this situation and it’s great that you are trying to reassess how best to take care of yourself.
I’m glad that you know what’s going on with the salicylates and can adhere to nutrition parameters to avoid them. It’s important to remember that in addition to foods, salicylates are also found in many body care products (shampoos, makeup, lotions, etc.) so you might use the guidelines such as this list (with body care products at the end of the foods list) to help you avoid them in these products as well: https://www.sjhc.london.on.ca/sites/default/files/salicylate_free_diet_food_guide.pdf.
