Hi there! Listen. You're perfectly welcome to tell me or ask me whatever you want, whenever you want. Long or short. I'll be totally honest with you, I'm not a 'rating collector' (and anyway, even if you awarded me 5 every time, private chats like ours don't go towards my rating anyway!!). If I answer it's because I want to, and am happy doing so. Definitely don't apologise mate. You're welcome, like I said. It's good to talk. So, that's all sorted then?
OK. So the symptoms of a generalised anxiety disorder can feel very much like having a heart attack, as I'm sure you'll know! Shortness of breat, tightness across your chest (chest pains, even) and a very rapid and/or heavy heartbeat. Don't know if anyone has explained it to you why, but briefly our brains can issue almost instant signals (neurotransmitters) in response to a threat. Our body goes into what's called 'fight or flight mode'. We gear-up for the danger. Try to get plenty of oxygen in, our heartrate increases. Let's call this an increase in our 'metabolic rate'. It's setting you up for some serious physical effort. Also, we become intensely alert. Jumpy and nervy if you like, and focus intently on just one thing. This isn't a bad thing in it's place. In a burning building, this might very well save your life. With anxiety disorders you're issuing these neurotransmitters when the situation doesn't really call for it. The usual treatment is beta-blockers which simply 'block' the signals. Remember some of these terms (metabolic rate, neurotransmitter) for a minute. OK, Vitamin B6 and B12 and Folic Acid increase neurotransmitter activity. ALL vitamins are 'metabolic activators'. Higher doses produce more intense effects. What you noticed is perfectly sound then? But does that mean no vitamins for you? Well, no. Our bodies aren't able to 'store-up' vitamins effectively. We absorb as much as we can make use of from food (or pills/preparations), they're processed by the body, and any excess is eliminated from our bodies in the usual way (having a pee, in other words!). So we can't actually 'overdose' on vitamins and damage our bodies. But the same argument means that there is absolutely no point in taking too much either. They will pass straight through you anyway and more won't mean more or better results. In your case, you're noticing high doses trigger the anxiety symptoms. There's no real need to push the absorbable amount to the limit either. Unless you have a diagnosed deficiency. Diagnosed meaning, by a doctor, with blood tests to back it up. NOT self-diagnosed!! With pills and preparations it's much easier 'max out' and take in as much as your body can absorb. It's less easy with eating the right food. For instance, glass of fresh orange juice at breakfast will give you plenty of useable vitamin C for the day. You aren't likely to sit there and knock back a whole four litre carton of the stuff, are you? The 'most you can absorb' is giving you some problems by the sound of it? The increased neurotransmitter and metabolic activator suff, remember? What I'd suggest is that you have a good look at the make-up/contents of any vitamins supplements your are having. Then do a bit of research on the internet regarding suggested doses of these vitamins. Factor-in your age, height, weight, general health and build etc. (their might be a table, or a sort of online 'calculator'?) Clearly, a petite young woman will absorb far less than a rugby player! Work out a good idea of what you're getting from foods you are eating to and make the grand total the absolute maximum in any 24 hour period. Preferably, a bit less. If you notice stronger/more frequent anxiety episodes, back it off further. And if the pack says, like, 1 tablet a day max for adults, there's no excuse to exceed this, ever. Like we said, your body knows what is enough, the rest is passed out when you go to the loo and so mega doses won't have mega results. Trust me, being sensible with the doses won't set your hair growth backwards by ANY measurable amount. And more frequent and more intense anxiety symptoms are a bad trade-off for the attempt aren't they? They're bad enough as it is, eh? (You'll cope here, don't worry. Generalised anxiety disorders are SO common. Work or study strain, family tensions, personal issues, a trauma or crisis.....anything can trigger them. You'll come through it OK. A LOT people are going to have at least one episode during their life. Sometimes short, sometimes longer).
Regarding the photo, that is indeed a very attractive look. I'd say that let down fully and brushed-out her hair must be all of 16 to 18 inches? Assuming that from the tip of her chin to her forehead would be around 8 inches. I should think that by next March/April time you should have a very similar look. It will certainly be long, from your growth rates we were talking about and your health and care tactics. And we don't precisely measure other people's hair, inc-for-inch. we go more by the 'look'. Long, glossy, full and healthy. You'll get there. Hope you'll keep me informed of your progress?
