The effects of vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency are widespread, sometimes bizarre, much-more common in the western world than we think...and look a lot like certain chronic conditions we all know so well in this space. So, what does saturating the body with high dose B1 do? I'm about to find out...
Introversion, visual or non-linear thinking, social anxiety, chronic or social fatigue, autism, high sensitivity...looking at all the many, often overlapping, factors that might make writing preferable to conversation for a lot of people and considering is this wrong, of just wonderfully different?
When one small thing breaks the camel's back, its usually time to stop and pay full attention.
