Ok so I wanna start by saying I have a LOT of issues that I deal with and it goes without saying our current economy makes it nearly impossible for the majority of us to seek professional help. I have severe anxiety/stress and potentially some undiagnosed problem like autism/ocd/adhd (these ones are mostly a given at this point, nearly all of my friends have some form of one of those and my behaviors are often similar or worse than theirs) which is likely the source of all the problems I’ll dive into a little (but I’ll definitely forget some things) I guess I’m mostly just looking for solutions. Unfortunately it seems like my issues seem to make one another worse, like I can’t fix one thing because the others are still an issue. I won’t be able to mention everything that bothers me so I’ll talk about the ones that have been on my mind most recently.
Firstly my sleep patterns are abysmal. If I go to sleep early I wake up in a few hours and can’t fall back asleep. If I wait too long needless to say I have to wake up with minimal sleep, if I sleep at a perfect time I wake up through the night often, if I take anything to help me sleep I wake up feeling groggy like it’s still affecting my body, and on the very rare occasion I sleep early and stay asleep I STILL WAKE UP TIRED.
Secondly there’s my eating patterns, I don’t eat a lot. I have something an associate referred to as “flavor fatigue” when I mentioned my issue to her, idk if that’s the exact issue I have but let me break it down. I could be eating something I genuinely enjoy, it could even be something I would consider one of my favorite meals and mid chew, I lose my appetite and feel like gagging, the idea of eating that food disgusts me. This happens more often the more frequently I eat something and happens even if I’m still hungry which makes it hard to stay stocked on food I might be able to eat (mostly a money issue.) It also affects my appetite making a lot of stuff seem unappealing when I’m hungry.
Thirdly, this issue has been bothering me a lot. My libido (this one might be a little NSFW so here’s a warning) I’m a pretty sexual person and think about that kind of stuff all the time, but it’s starting to become less “appealing” to me, not in the sense I find it disgusting but in the sense it doesn’t have much physical affects on me if you know what I mean. Even if I find something interesting it might not always give me an erection.
I might make a smaller comment in this thread with other issues if I think of any relevant ones. Aside from that if anyone has any questions regarding these/other issues ask and I’ll answer them.
