Have been struggling for years with a massive array of health problems. Everything from stomach problems, anxiety, dizziness and everything inbetween for the last 10 years, and im only 19 years old. I severely struggle to block out distractions and do my work, and my social anxiety is out of control- I feel so different and isolated from other kids my age. Along with other vitamin and mineral deficiencies, (B12, Iron, Folate,, Vitamin D, etc.) I was looking at a copy of bloodwork recently and it said my seratonin was rather low. I was reading up on the symptoms and alot of them I have, including: -Anxiety and panic/phobias -Almost no interest in sexual activity anymore whatsoever - Severe Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors - Intense food cravings - Agression and irritability - Mood swings I also read that 95% of your seratonin is produced in your gut. Could this be from years of IBS and damage from high NSAID intake? Any advice would be appreciated
Well, if your seratonin is low, your most likely depressed, with anxiety, and, yes seratonin is made in the gut, go to your Doctor, and explain how your feeling, your symptoms are very like my own …not nice to live with…x
