29, male, physically healthy...mentally not so much. Battled severe anxiety and OCD for years during college and shortly after, coupled with brain fog, poor memory, inability to learn.
What’s interesting is that before school, I wasn’t this way at all. Focused, full of life, and most important, no depression or fog at all.
Nowadays I’m largely doing well-thanks to megadoses of vitamin D. As other posts will show I’m having issues with hypercalcemia due to D/K ratios I’m still working on, but mentally this is the best I’ve been in years.
Importantly, my D levels are way above therapeutic (>100ng/ml). If I stop, after a few days the depression, fog, back pain etc comes right back. What’s interesting is how quickly my pain threshold and flexibility worsens as I stop taking D. Socially, I’m outwardly jolly-but in my head there’s a brutal turmoil.
I’ve not experienced major physical changes in the interval between feeing well and just falling off the edge. The one clue I can think of is that as a child, I always used to take a multi, which stopped in Uni.
So...what’s wrong with me? I’m wondering if there’s a major nutrient missing? The Vit D megadose could be covering up something else? The status quo with Vit D is OK but I note that my levels are far beyond what I’d ever get “naturally” so I’m wondering if something else is the root cause (or would I be this badly off “in the wild”?).
Humbly seeking help.
