Blood tests
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.
My sister is going to a concert and coming back to the house where me and my family live. In my mind her clothes are extremely dirty. And I know her coming back is going to cause a lot of strong contamination thoughts to enter my head. I’m exhausted already from pushing myself and I can’t seem to focus on anything when these thoughts are really strong. I’m in college and this makes focusing on homework difficult. I failed an exam the other day bc I couldn’t stop thinking about what I need to clean and then cleaning. It’s really exhausting.
