Yes, my emotional well being is totally tied to diet. I know exactly what you mean about feeling suicidal. I have been on the longest no-cheating streak that I have ever been on in my life... and I just have ZERO desire to get off!... cuz I now feel so completely at peace and awake and stable (no mood swings at all). I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that for almost two months I have only eaten grass-fed natural/wild meat from local farmers/hunters. I think having the correct omega ratio is SO important to moods, because your brain needs the correct fats. Commercial (grain fed) meat is so totally out of balance with 6/9 omega fats. And, I finally decided to not worry about weight and eat a very large variety of fruits and nuts (and veggies), instead of worrying about gaining weight. AND because I allowed myself to eat it, I find myself eating very small amounts of fruit and nuts (because all those mad carb cravings are gone!). If I tried to restrict them my body would revolt and I would be back to eating junk food for sure. But if I let my body have them, my body only craves them a little each day. It is really cool that I have made it to this point. BUT... it was not easy at all. Breaking the vicious cycle of crappy eating in this society is VERY HARD! I don't know anyone who even comes close to eating the way I do, so I know how rampant bad eating habits are for almost everyone everywhere... it is totally ingrained in our culture. And it is surely affecting the emotional well being of most people, that I know from first hand experience.
