    So many things. Got my bloodworks done, severe Vitamin D defficiency and mid-low Vitamin B12 (normal, but Claude told me I should take supplements anyway).

    Got a psych exam scheduled in 2 months from now, have to survive increasing hostility at work until then, my father’s delusional bullshit, and not quit or off myself.

    Trying this experiment with an overly elaborate system I designed. I’m trying to juggle these 4 mental loops, to try and artificially force myself to be aware and to function optimaly. So far, I’m always undersleept, I can’t really juggle even one.

    I don’t understand how normies do it. I just want to do what I’m supposed to, and get out of everyone’s way.

      are you vegan, b12 is more found in people who dont eat meat, or have celiacs, or somehow tapeworms. vit D is pretty common if you are not living in the equator. i had pretty low vit d as well for a number of years, but the last one had was skewed to “normal” because i had taken vitd vitamins before the test. you probably checked AI1C, glucose , choesterol and triglycerides too?

        No, I didn’t. I just did the bloodworks to see if there is something impairing me besides whatever diagnosis I will have once I’m examined.

        B12 and tapeworms is concerning. It would be quite hard to check for tapeworms right now, and our cats could just bring it in.

        I am not vegan, though that is a future goal. I eat meat basically every day, the canned stuff.

        My B12 is still above defficiency range, but I decided to take B12 anyway. My D-Vitamin is several times bellow defficiency range.

        Something very much is horribly wrong with my guts, might be celiacs, might be something else, but everything I eat just comes right back up my throat, even water. I have a constant cough, and upset guts often.

        So what can I say? It will take forever to accumulate enough money to get it all checked out.

          If your having gut issues you might want to try a experimental elimination diet. Choose one bio complete food. Eat only that for a few weeks, see if your gut issues resolve. Then reintroduce other foods slowly until you find your triggers. There are some good books on doing this type of protocol, just choose a food with no known inflammation or intolerance

          Also - if your optimizing, look at your last lipid panel take the tg/HDL ratio, if it’s greater then 2 you have less then optimal insulin sensitivity and working on your metabolic health would have good dividends (probably mood and anxiety too)
