James,
Are you by any chance using any foods with artificial sweeteners, espescially sucralose (Splenda)?

No, I haven't had softdrinks or anything else with artificial sweeteners in years, since 2000 January in fact.

These are just the highlights of a long list of things that have been making my life generally miserable. Nothing works out right for me, and I just didn't feel like doing anything. (Not suicidal, just apathetic toward everything.)
I feel so much better after just 2 days of dumping this crap that I can't begin to describe it. I had no idea that something as simple as a food additive could basically ruin my life.
Maybe this will be helpful to you, or somebody else reading this post. Best wishes in any case, and I hope things start looking up for you.

I'm fairly certain that I've identified several of the key components that are creating the problem, none can be fixed though one or more can be covered up with chemicals, prescription or otherwise. Radical changes in my diet and lack of appetite occurred weeks and months into this so they're the result rather than a cause.
I appreciate the thoughts and I'm glad that you were able to indentify a causitive agent in your case. I never did trust artificials myself.
