This is the same process that leads people to wanna have victim status.
Bro what. A victim of vitamin deficiency? It might be high time for you take a break from being online and get some vitamin d
The guy WANTS a deficiency so everyone will give him attention for it.
No dude, the first guy wants an easy answer to how shit he feels, because an easy answer means an easy solution. Generally speaking, people don’t like having problems that are entirely outside of their own power to fix.
The second person doesn’t want the deficiency, they already have it and have been struggling with it for a long time and what they wish for is love and support from people, to have their struggle validated.
It’s like the difference between a successful day of back breaking work when you’re a slave, vs a day of back breaking work when you’re working for your own benefit. The validation of the self-work comes from the benefits you reap because of it. There is no validation for the exact same work if you’re a slave, because you didn’t choose to do the work and you don’t benefit either. A little empathy and respect from your fellow man for the good work you did that you were forced to endure for no benefit to yourself would be the only solace you can hope to receive and isn’t really a whole lot to ask for grand scheme of things.
Ahhh yeah it’s two different people. Guy 1 wants to find out his default state is dysphoria and guy 2 wants attention.
NGL, I personally would like to find out that I can just feel and be better on the regular with a simple fix.
So you have empathy and understanding for yourself, but no one else.
Cool. 🙄
Yeah guy 2 wants “
attention” support but he doesn’t want a problem so that he can getattentionsupport. He already has the problem and simply wishes he had support from others. He also doesn’t want to be a victim. He already feels like a victim of his circumstance. The support from others would make him feel less like a victim and more like somebody who has overcome adversity.
Honestly, that kinda happened to me.
Well, I had a blood test because I was having heart palpitations and under extreme stress, so not exactly “just collapsed”. But they found I have hypothyroidism, and life’s much better and much easier with the medication.
Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…
Annoyingly this must’ve been an issue for years, but I was raised to “shut up and get on with it”, and told the problem was that I’m “just lazy” :/
Mine was noticed because I have a multinodular goider. I asked about potential issues with it a couple times over the years and was always told I just needed to lose weight till the doctor finally noticed it in my early 20s. Who knew it was a lot easier to be active and control your appetite when your metabolism is actually working and you don’t feel like you always wanna crawl into bed?
You normally will get it after puberty, pregnancy, or menopause(at least with what I have, which is hashimotos thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. Not sure about others) so, if it’s similar you likely developed it during puberty like myself and didn’t realize it or notice the changes because you assumed it was normal.

It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”
This was me except I was disappointed when the blood test came back completely healthy. I guess it’s all in my head after all…
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they’re often overlooked (speaking from experience).
Thank you, I think it was a mix of anxiety/depression and life circumstances. The stress causes me not to eat enough in the first half of the day and I would feel very low energy.
Since then I’ve started a new job, moved across the country, got back into the gym, and that reset has helped a lot.
This was me except it was narcolepsy. Which isn’t as fun because it’s incurable and also largely untreatable. Most medications and aids are supportive, not corrective.
Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…

Iron deficiency for me. Still miserable, but less so.
Eat beef, drink wine.
Hey mannn, bro to bro, can you please stop treating your disorders like they’re a personality. That’s all millenials do is make up disorders and self diagnose. This is why I became a therapist actually, went through all the liberal bs they told me at Yale, am now a registered therapist and secretly when they come in I tell people to stop self diagnosing, they keep coming back and I keep telling them this very thing. Wonder when they will learn, hopefully before the company I work for finds out and fires my ass.

The actual pill in reality for us: PRESCRIBED METH!
Prescribed meth that allows me to do math.
Prescribed meth that allows me to wake up every morning not feeling like a hot bag of ass and let’s me follow my to do list somewhat easily for most of the morning and afternoon without wanting to take naps every couple hours for me.
It was folic acid for me. Turns out me and my family don’t get the full affect of vitamins or medicines. After some genetic testing we are all taking it and are all feeling a lot better and our meds are actually working. It’s nuts how simple it was to turn us all around.
Looks like a few ways to test for this, how’d you guys find the needle in the haystack? Doctors won’t actually run all the tests for cost reasons…
I kept having to change meds because different ones didn’t work. One doc got me genetic testing which cost me about $15.
Doesnt even need to be an actual vitamin, just a basic chemical imbalance. That is why many people experiment with nootropics.
Ashwagandha <3
And L-theanine and magnesium bisglycinate
Last few times I had a doctor appointment I was low on Vitamin D. Unsurprising. I don’t like being in the sun.
D has got to be one of the easiest to take. No side effects unless you take a stupid amount. Generally pretty cheap for a large quantity. Numerous studies have linked vitamin D intake to reduced death from all causes. Of course there are some that discount that effect, but it’s not gonna hurt if you do take it. Might want to give it a shot if you aren’t already.
I just started eating more greens and drinking whole milk, as suggested by my doctor because it was just a slight deficiency. I just haven’t been to the doctor since to see if it’s helping.
Grab the pills when you get a chance. The whole milk only has enough vitamin d to offset the amount used by your body to use the calcium in the milk, so it’s net zero additional vitamin d in your diet to drink fortified vitamin D milk. If you’re like me, you’ll feel a significant difference.
I take a lot of vitamin D, like up to 10,000 IU per day. It’s on the direction of a doctor and my levels get checked several times per year. They (pcp and specialist) never told me to reduce it and afaik it’s caused no problems.
not only do you now have the Vitamin, you also have crippling Medical Debt

Source is Pictures For Sad Children, if anyone’s unfamiliar. Not that it’s been available online in the last decade.
Yeah turns out all I had to do was take a pill of Diet Meth in the morning and now I can function like a human being

Have you tried buying some multivitamins at the store just to rule out that THAT was the issue?
Store bought multivitamins aren’t even guaranteed to rule it out. For a myriad of different reasons, you can still have deficiencies even if you take a multivitamin. So, maybe it’s worth a try, but if it doesn’t work, that doesn’t mean there couldn’t still be a deficiency.
Recently did some research on what the treatment would be for a particular deficiency.
Found that general-purpose multivitamins provide about 0.5% of the therapeutic amount.
So yeah, there can be a massive difference between the little bit of help a multivitamin can give vs. what you really need for a specific condition.

Sorta but also as bad as insurance is, if you have any and go to the ER, an ambulance ride and an ER visit are generally flat rate and not an absurd amount of money. It all goes downhill once you’re fully hospitalized.
I’m low on Vitamin $
[reverently] All this time, you lacked the Dollar? And yet you persevered?
tremulously raises hands to bask in the perseverance
That is actually the vitamin that most people lack to be happy and unanxious
Got an honest to god laugh out of me.
