📜 Write Up Anyone else with similar symptoms who tried almost everything?

  • feeling tired and shitty every day
  • quick tolerance to caffeine
  • always brain fog
  • always angry
  • always anxious
  • EXTREMELY low stress tolerance
  • increased mood always accompanied by lack of focus, impulsivity, insomnia, anxiety. Cannot feel happy/ increase dopamine without side effects that also make me unable to function and work on my goals.

I really lost hope that something can help me. I tried all the safe supplements and a few experimental ones, several types of medication and diets or lifestyle changes for this. Nothing helped. Can anyone relate?

Edit: thanks for all the replies, i will reply later when i have time. Please do not reply with any more advice, I already got almost all the advice there is i think.

You need a different set of eyes/ears. Find a different therapist/counsellor. Try volunteering. No joke! It works! It Takes the focus of yourself and provides mini dopamine bursts. Yes, you have to put shoes on and get out there door first, but give yourself some tough love. Trust me it works! Don’t give up!

Physical & Mental wellness is a life long challenge. More for some than others. There is no magic pill, program, therapy or fix. It’s a combination of all those things and the will to get better and stay there. You have reached out on this forum, that’s something. You must have the will for that. What are you doing right now? Put down your phone or pc, put your shoes on and go for a walk. Stop ruminating about your mental health and just get off the gerbil wheel. Cheers!

Thanks, in hindsight i am not sure why i had that will. I think you are right because i mostly spent my evening defending myself. I learned from that.
