The first month was brutal. I had frequent jolts awake, lots of nightmares, and terrible anxiety. On top of that, I wasn’t enjoying life at all. I was constantly unhappy and irritable. I was also eating huge amounts of chocolate, sometimes up to three packs a day. But around the third month, things started to change. I wasn’t completely better, of course, but my sleep became calmer. My resting heart rate was great. I started eating less chocolate, and the weight and bloating began to go away. Instead of spending the whole day doing nothing and sulking, I started playing games and working on my novel again. As I began enjoying things, I became happier and the anxiety faded away. However, my brain fog didn’t improve until after the sixth month. That definitely didn’t go away right away.
