But my borderline pathologic sensitivity disappears. The emotions don't disappear, but they kinda even out. I calm down, get more centered, stronger, and gain stability. Internal and external events or feelings of others affect me less, I'm better able to stay peaceful in any situation.
I know everybody talks about stronger emotions when raw, but I have found it to be the contrary. Which is good!  So I'd say a raw diet does not amplify emotions, it normalizes them. If you are as emotional as Commander Data, you'll suddenly love spiders  and if you're a hysterical wreck, you'll probably get zen. |
Hi Rose,
I actually thought of you when I asked the question and was wondering what your experience was, so thanks for answering. I guess it balances people out--ones with little emotion and sensitivity get more and over-emotional ones like us calm down. That's good news. I hope Steve is paying attention, because I don't think his take on it wasn't accurate
. I couldn't imagine how bad it could be for me to go on a diet that would make me
more sensitive and emotional. Anyway, he didn't answer my question, but the chance is still there to answer if he has a different answer.
