Im a 20 year old female in university. (struggling hard)
Played university basketball..body can't handle it anymore so I quit and doing poor in school. This sucks and it's ruining my life. I've been to many doctors and they claim that chronic fatigue/adrenal fatigue doesn't exist and that I should just go on antidepressants. How can I be depressed if I want my quality of life to improve though?
Symptoms:
-Low thyroid(on medication-went to doctors 2 months later and he says it's fine now, but I don't feel fine)
-swollen glands
-bloated stomach(hard lump below bellow button but problem hasn't shown up)
-nervous/anti-social
-fatigue all day(only 2 good days out of the week)
-back pain(upper, middle)
-weight gain(5-10 pounds)
-allergies...especially to almost any food
-dry eyes, dry hair, dry mouth
-stretch marks at the back of my legs
-always feel better after excercise*I love excercise(but hard to get the energy to do gym and 5 classes all in one day)
-unmotivated
-think about death..what will happen..mostly about ppl close dying to me and a lot about the future..it seems scary
-insomnia(can't sleep or i sleep too much and getting out of bed is brutal..it's almost better for me to stay up the whole night to get to an 8am class)
-binge eating..and not caring what i eat because my body feels like it needs it or I will pass out
-would rather stay at home in bed all day
-feel like a huge failure! feel way behind in life...would never be able to juggle school and work feeling like this. Which sucks because I need to make money!
Lastly...and this part really freaks me out. I think I might be a little schizophrenic. I always think someone is watching me or following me...not to do something bad. I just feel extremely self concious..I feel like i want a bad over my head all the time and I'm actually a good looking girl. I wear sunglasses and my hood up all the time :s It's as if I feel guilty about something and theres nothing to feel guilty about!
What is going on?
