Hey, Timothy.
I think it is perfectly normal (and I am sure Mel will concur) that when you start taking something new on the protocol, your body reacts to it. It may SEEM unpleasant, but it probably means that it is doing its job! You could very well be herxing, which could account for the fatigue and the other symptoms you described.
I’d try to avoid too much exposure to cleaning chemicals, if possible. It certainly won’t help you right now. If you have to use anything, I’d suggest Kleen Green. You didn’t specify what you were using; hopefully, it wasn’t anything too toxic.
Sometimes, it is hard to eat. When limiting carbs, the traditional concept of a meal automatically changes. If you have an off day, don’t sweat it. We’ve all had days when we could barely stomach food.
I’d focus on reigning in the fear and anxiety. That will help you immensely. I realize that it is part of just about everyone’s journey, but the earlier you get a handle on it, the faster it will be to the finish line. Remaining in a state of “fight or flight” is unhealthy and just as bad, if not worse, than eating sugar or drinking alcohol. I have had to work very hard on this, and I can assure you, it’s not easy but it is possible!
Being more involved with the forum absolutely helps, and so does listening to Mel and what he tells you to do.
I think of you often and am here if you ever have any questions.
