These people advocate the Paleo Diet, which is a high protein, high fat,
low carbohydrate diet. Many here seem to following it.

However, these women advise their Serotonin Diet, which is high carbohydrate,
low protein and low fat.

I would prefer a more balanced and moderate diet - Barry Sear's Zone Diet,
also called the 40/30/30 diet -

40 % carbohydrates
30 % protein
30 % fats


In terms of the Asian diet, this is roughly, at each meal -

One fistful of rice
Two fistfuls of meat
One fistful of vegetables

'' ..... a woman who’s brain fog and depression disappeared
when she started the Zone diet. '


'' I purchased the book ''Enter the Zone'' and started to follow the programme
in mid-February 1997. I noticed an improvement in energy levels from the
third week. By mid July 1997 I had lost 3 stone and all my other complaints
have disappeared. Back pain, sore knees and all pain and stiffness in my
muscles have gone. I feel happy and optimistic, I sleep soundly five or six
hours a night and am mentally alert the rest of the time. I wake feeling
refreshed each morning. I have heaps of energy for the first time in my life.
My blood pressure is normal. I have never felt so utterly WELL.”

Many celebrities are on the Zone - Madonna, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Anniston,
Sandra Bullock, Drew Barrymore, Bill Cosby, Charlie Sheen, Kevin Costner,
Ben Stiller, Tiger Woods, Renee Zellweger.

I did went for check up regarding on my chest pain issue. Everything is fine, the doctor gave me some medicine but the pain still come back.
And yea, I speak to my best friend, and I'm glad that my friend is really supportive.
Thanks Alvin~ you are nice

Hi Tham, will these supplements have side effects??
I don't really believe in medicine/ supplements especially in tablet form, because I'm really afraid of side effects.
Are you familiar with all these??

sometimes stranger are easier to talk to, since there are no commitment in between.
Last time when I has major breakdown I just google some random forum or social media, then post all problems there.
People eventually will come and give advice.

But just do not get too attached to them. Haha.

Yea..can't agree more.. At least I wouldn't need to worry if the person takes my problem as a joke or whatever..

Since you are so apprehensive about supplements, you
had better not take them.

Just follow the advice of the others.

Ok...I will try different and see how it goes~
Thanks Tham

Your problem is biochemical, not psychological.

You have too little serotonin circulating in your system, especially your brain.

Too little serotonin can cause enxiety and depression.

That is why supplements can help to increase the serotonin.

Those supplements are quite common, well-known and quite safe.

I have taken 5-HTP before, 100 mg before bed. No side effects.

Some of them here are also taking St John's Wort, well-known herb for
depression and anxiety.


Anyway, you may also try hypnosis. There is a practising psychologist
trained in hypnosis posting here, Mr Hiro Koo. His center is at the
former Galleria Complex in Jln Setapak.

His user name is Zeropoint9. You could try messaging him.


If you want to consult a psychiatrist, Dr Cheah Wing Yin at Sunway
Medical Center also knows hypnosis.

okay... Since you said there is not side effect so far, I might try on the supplement den..
But may I know why are you taking that supplement?? If you don't mind?

I was taking it more as a sleeping and calming aid, and I'm
also an anxious person like you.

You could try 50 mg for a start.


Preferably take an enteric-coated tablet or capsule to minimize
stomach discomfort.

Yea..I have a weak stomach..
Most probably will start with lower dosage and coat.
Thank you Tham for your kindness for sharing this to me~

Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other. Your beta brainwaves might be highly active (beta waves are often associated with active, busy, or anxious thinking and active concentration). Normally you can know more about yourself after an EEG biofeedback assessment session.

You may want to consider self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind which can be defined as a heightened state of focused concentration. With it, you can change your thinking, reducing stress and anxiety.

Make sure you find a Licensed Hypnotherapist in Malaysia to help you (In Malaysia, Hypnotherapist is regulated by the Ministry of Health)

Can you explain more on self-hypnosis please??

I have a slightly different approach.
To analyse the brainwaves, I will use the neurotherapy technology, whereby one can observe the brainwave going into different state such as delta, theta, alpha and beta brainwave while the suggestion is being given by the clinical hypnotherapist during the therapy session, personalized self-hypnosis method will be developed based on the brainwave observation.

During the self hypnosis session, electrodes are applied to the individual’s scalp, which allow the patient and therapist to “listen in” on brainwave activity. The electrodes do not hurt and conduct no amount of electricity that one can feel. The person’s hair is not removed or shaven during the electrode placement. This is done in “real-time,” so the person sees exactly what is going on in their brain as they think certain thoughts, feel stressed, or feel relaxed. After you learn how to do self hypnosis, You will learn how to regulate your brain naturally, without pharmaceutical medications.

You can read this case:

Although I can suggest you take some B complex & calmag D supplement to improve your emotion and calm your mind.

But the most important , you need let go. be a WATER.

And ask yourself , these problem will haunt u forever of your life? If answer is no, then let go.

Ok, thanks a lot! I will read through it~
Thanks for the sharing

Yea.. Sometimes I really have to learn to let go.

u should. If you feel cant let go urself , then change environment, attend more positive place. like seminar , positive talk. Join more ppl with happy & positive face. Where u living ?

Ok, you don't like it when plan don't go your way right, instead of planning one plan plan extra backups. I am also like that so i changed my way of doing thing for the better me.
