I had a phone call today and got told I’m extremely low on vitamin d. (No puns please) It’s been making me feel ill and constantly sleepy. Not only am I mentally ill and exhausted, I am physically as well. Great.
It is good that you had the vitamin D test done . You can work on this fairly easily. I try to at s minimum have my vitamin D tested at least twice a year for better physical and mental health. Sometimes I have levels that are lower than they should be , I increase my sun intake and vitamin D intake and then retest . It is early spring and it is not uncommon to come out of the winter months with lower levels. I supplement with 5000 IU of vitamin D on most days .
Sun I only gradually increase at times of day that the UV levels are lower , I am personally susceptible to skin cancer .
it's funny. I also have severe OCD and a giant vitamin D deficiency, though I got told yesterday. The doctor gave me these pills—don't know the name, but I take them once a week—on a prescription, dunno if you got those. I hate feeling so weak all the time: I'm always nodding off and I have no energy for anything, so all I can do is sit around, which leads to me ruminating and engaging in compulsions. It's hell. I hope you feel better.
I’ve had low blood tests for d3 and yes it’s exhausting. Your doctor should let you know whether 2000 or 5000iu will help you. I can’t even tell you how much the right amount of d3 has helped with my fatigue problems.
I feel like I wanna throw up I feel shivers It feels like you’re going to be sick I can’t sleep at all I stayed up all night because of this (not the first time) I physically feel sick
Today I was officially diagnosed, and a lot of my thoughts all day have been “man, what if I actually don’t have it and I exaggerated my symptoms or something.” I had this thought especially because I hadn’t had a really bad episode in a while. But then sure enough, I had a little episode tonight. I feel like I might’ve brought it upon myself, at least in small part. Having difficulty separating OCD paranoia from real life problems to be considered with at the moment 👎🏻 Gonna sleep on it! 🙏🏻❤️
Lately I’ve been feeling so off. I’ve realized I’ve been having more “bad” days. Long story short I’ve been living in pain for over a year and was told I need back surgery. Due to the pain and injury I’ve had many restrictions. I’m unable to do a lot of the things I normally do and I’ve been just sitting around mostly every day not doing much. I almost think I’m slightly depressed. The surgery is about a month away but I just feel like all my emotions are finally hitting me. Like today I felt so upset and lonely and almost spaced out. I’ve been trying to stay positive but I just feel overwhelmed.
