this is crazy, it is literally driving me nuts. I've posted about it before, and several times thought I'd found the answer but it keeps coming back in full force!

My problem, in case you guys don't know, is that at the moment I'm feeling great! The best I have for ages, but apparently everyone else I come in contact with during my day does not think so. People avoid me, do not want to talk to me, avoid eye contact, become very uncomfortable around me, some people start to shake and get nervous and I can basically see that they don't want to be around me at all! This is becoming so consistant with pretty much everyone I come in contact with including my own family that it is leaving me totally isolated, I have lost all interest in social interaction, plus people are loosing interest in me, even becoming angry with me for some reason... Its like clockwork, I even sometimes find it amusing the way people react to me (I gotta try and find it amusing otherwise I might go crazy or something). Obviously this reaction indicates that what I am feeling at the moment (which is probably the most relaxed I have been for years, particularly in social situations) does not match my facial expression in some way. I must look angry/frightened/anxious to everyone or something. Some people have commented that I look angry when I actually feel content or even happy!

Even though I've really noticed this in the last few months, since my anxiety and depression have really dissapated, I think when i look back it has been happening most of my life. Times when I was really anxious or depressed people would react really well to me, other times they wouldn't. It seems that there is no relation between how I feel and my facial expression, I just can't control it!

Its important to note also that I use to suffer from bad skin problems like acne and blotchy skin but this is pretty much gone and my skin is the best it has looked in ages. Orginally I thought my skin was the cause but now i kno its not.. My eyes and face do look swollen from time to time but I just don't know whether this is what is causing people's reactions to me..

I dunno whether its mercury or not, the other day I took 1 gram of alpha lipoic acid in one day and didn't really notice much change in symptoms. This can't be right if I still have mercury!! I've also attempted to agressively chelate using cilantro, not much effect either... also taking chlorella aswell see if it helps. What is going on with me??

Anyone else experience this? I saw a docter about it a while back and she simply said that I have social anxiety and wants to put me on anti-depressants.. i thought greeeaat another docter who doesn't believe me and thinks that its all in my head. I am tempted to try something like xanax, mayb that will make me more relaxed looking, but had a bad experience with antidepressants in the past, so a bit scared to try other things.

This is something I have to sought out and I'm feeling that you people are the only ones who understand, and are willing to listen and help. I am going to see another practitioner in a few days, who is both a docter and naturopath, but if she starts pushing antidepressants on me then I won't kno what to do..
