Welcome to how I perceive most of the rest of everyone. What weird fear-drugs are they even on?

  I have been on both sides of the fence. I had continuous allergy problems without knowing it for a large part of my life. Among the effects were a minor depression. When I got rid of the allergies I had a bit of an identity conflict, I wasn't the one I thought. My humour and world view weren't as dark, I liked people more. It is a strange to adjust your self image so much after 40.

    Did change in diet play a part in getting rid of your allergies? I only ask because a great deal of recent research suggests our behaviour is strongly affected by our gut bacteria which are in turn affected by our overall diet.

      Well, a diet without allergens made a big difference. :-) Also, I lowered coffee/sugar intak drastically when I wasn't tired all the time. I still have the allergies. They got worse, which is why their existence obvious. (The main problem it took time was that I was bad for five days after eating anything wrong, so I never really saw anything but sick.)
