hi shawn : you have just decribed 70 percent of the population, you are not a alone , there are many of us out there ,you probablly know a few them , looking back in my life most of the people that I have known have been in the same boat .

some of them are able to hide it better than others while others are very up front with it , those are the people that will heal alot quicker than the rest because they realalize that something is wrong , I know now that I was showing signs of heavy metal poisoning as far back as 15 years old , I had 12 amalgams placed when I was 14 years old , hind sight is 20/20

when I joined the military back in the early 80's I started showing alot of the symtoms , very high anxiety , mild depression off and on ,social anxiety , low self esteem , shyness and felt pissed off all the time

I used to self medicate with alcohol which was a temporary fix

it has gotten worse within the last 5 years with alot of the classic symtoms surfacing

since having amalgams removed , I feel my personality changing , I am much more at ease and calm shyness is not as bad, I can be around crowds again ,the anxiety is almost gone , and have not felt angry in a long time , I am finally healing
