Just dandy.
My appointment at the psych ward resulted in nothing. I'm not mentally ill enough for alternative treatments like magnet therapy according to my Hamilton score but I'm too ill to partake in the alternatives at other psych ward-related facilities in the city because of my fucking AVPD.
"Are you or have you been suicidal in the last three days?" no, not until I talked to you, psych nurse who is supposed to give me the help I need or refer me to somewhere else.

At least the weather matches my mood, it looks like it could start pouring rain any minute. I don't want to walk the dog, nor do I want to go shopping for ingredients for dinner but I'm also not in the mood to eat anything resembling a solid, healthy meal after this.

Fuck me, man.

I'm so tired. I get a decent amount of sleep, but I never feel rested. Unsure if the depression is just that bad or if I'm vitamin deficient or something. My limbs are heavy. Sometimes I can't even emote or add to conversations because moving my face is too much effort.

one of the simplest things to start with for this issue is your sleeping environment. is there a single scrap of garbage anywhere? are all your clothes put away? when was the last time you washed your bedding? when was the last time you washed your pillow? when is the last time that you got a new mattress? when was the last time you cleaned your curtains/blinds, window frame, window panes, window casings? when was the last time you mopped or vacuumed? if you have carpet, when was the last time you cleaned it with one of those carpet cleaning machines? when was the last time you washed your walls and ceiling? cleaned picture frames? cleaned light fixtures and fans? humidifiers or dehumidifiers?

do you have anything that's foam, fabric, or paper sitting out that you've had for a long time and never washed? stuffed animals? rugs? wall hangings? books? try bagging them up temporarily and see if it helps. same goes for if you have any old junk that you bought at a flea market or garage sale or charity store like Goodwill

do you have popcorn ceilings? popcorn ceiling material is extremely porous and will have soaked up anything nasty as long as it's been around

there could be plenty of other things going on that you want to get checked out but it doesn't hurt to do a bunch of cleaning first
 
I fucking despise college, I'm 3000+ dollars deep at this point and I'm not learning shit, it's literally just memorizing useless information for quizzes, I learned more about technology from modding fucking Nintendo consoles than I am from this college course. If I actually did somehow get a job in IT (which at this point I don't want) I would be screwed because I didn't actually learn anything!!!

May I ask how you are doing this? I am aware of the usual ‘every other day, with vitamin c, away from dairy’

So I’m doing the things you listed but I’m unable to take my prescription for now as my area is straight up out of it so my pharmacy has still not filled it. I guess other people area having ferritin issues (weird right)

So after some research I’ve been using an over the counter called “Thorne Iron Bisglycinate” specifically Thorne brand. Somehow it doesn’t kill your stomach, and absorbs better even if you have gastro issues.

I’ve been having it on an empty stomach every other morning with a can of V8. Even though V8 it has a tiny bit of calcium, it’s not enough to mess with it. It has a bunch of vitamin c AND vitamin k (which you also need to properly absorb it)
I wait an hour or two before eating anything.

So far it’s been miraculous. I feel immensely better, except for my stupid PMS anxiety flares (that are much better but even if my general anxiety is down 95% any anxiety sucks)

I hope any of that information helps!

Get your ferritin checked! It’s not a normie iron test it’s separate from that

What’s that?
I will try the bisglycinate form - thank you.

I really, really hope it works for you. Low ferritin is Hell, and as I climb out of it's pit I'm looking back like 'HOW DID I LIVE LIKE THAT.'

Canned vegetable juice! Salty as fuck, but I have borderline hypotension, so I need all the salt I can get (another thing that's probably due to the low ferritin)

I'm in the states where it's abundant but you're in the UK, right? Looks like you have to go to 'specialty American' stores for it BUT there's something called "Veg It" that's similar
