Constantly Tired Always... Advice?

[lurins]

First off, I wanted to clarify that I have been struggling with this problem for around 2.5 years now, and I am 21 years old. I am coming on here to vent about my experiences, but also garner some recommendations from individuals who may be able to help.

Symptoms:

1. Lethargy
2. High facial fat and loose hyoid skin at a low body fat % (I got a DEXA scan and I am 13%)
3. Poor appetite
4. Low libido and lack of nocturnal penile tumescence (i.e., morning wood)
5. DOMS after workout
6. Lack of motivation and brain fog
7. Higher than normal inhibition
   1. Social anxiety as a decent looking dude when talking with women
   2. Thinking about what to say in conversations
      1. and before you call me a high inhib pussy, you're right... but it wasn't always like this. I just want to be normal.

What have I done:

And before any of you say the basic common solutions to these problems, I wanted to share how I have tried to mitigate them and the professional help I have sought related to them.

1. I sleep 7-8+ hours every night. I am a nose breather and have no apnea, nor do I mouth breathe at night. I sleep on my back as well.
   1. Even though I get enough sleep, I still wake up tired as fuck and I don't know why.
2. I life a healthy lifestyle:
   1. I lift (I am a personal trainer) - 5 days a week.
      1. I have fatigued easier in the gym, even with the supplementation of creatine monohydrate
   2. I eat clean. Mostly whole foods, cut out many preservatives and seed oils and include high amounts of natural protein sources.
   3. I hydrate. I drink a shit ton of water and make sure my electrolytes are balanced.
3. I have tried supplementation
   1. I am currently starting Ashwagandha, I supplement with Calcium, Vitamin D, Zinc.
4. I am not addicted to porn
   1. Self explanatory
5. I get outside and have a robust social life with friends and others
   1. I play sports and was a semi pro soccer player for 2 years

Medical Tests:

I do want to preface I have hemochromatosis (too much iron), but it is well-regulated and I donate blood to make sure all is well there. I suggested it feels hormonal, as this is not normal for a 19-21 year old; I should be out there confident as fuck and socially adept. I received t tests when my lifestyle was shit and it was 350 ng/dl which my doc as a cuck said it was still normal, which is shouldn't have been that low then but refused to do anything else besides get my lifestyle in check. I come back the next year and it was 500 ng/dl at 20 which was better but I still felt the same symptoms. I feel like a low t man, even though it's normal and I want to increase it, but I don't know if it is different. I received all hepatic panel tests which were all normal, TSH and T4 were on the normal side, CBC was normal, Hepatic was off with high ALT and AST but that leveled out. FSH and LH and Globulin were normal but lower normal.

I want to switch docs but I don't know where to go from here. Ideas, help? Many thanks.

Some people require >8 hours of sleep. Also, getting sunlight first thing in the morning for 10 minutes will increase wakefulness and help with brain fog. Also never consume carbohydrates because they lead to a myriad of health complications such as atherosclerosis.

I have extreme fatigue issues, this is what fixes them:

1. Electrolyte consumption (actually important and uncomplicated) salt, potassium, and chloride, are the main 3. Consume lots of potassium and salt by dissolving them in water and drinking. Chloride is already chemically bound to table salt and potassium so you don't need to worry about it.

2. Use more creatine lmao.

3. Multivitamin, yes it's not cope and you probably already have this (find a random one on amazon it doesn't matter, same goes for all of this.)

4. Eat before working out, and don't kill your energy just try to become sore not tired.

5. Brain vitamins such as glycine, magnesium L-threonate, will help you sleep (yes its not cope I lucid dream every night)

6. Consider a safe test-boosting PED such as CJC-1295 or gonadorelin.

The main issue is probably you need a peptide and you need a higher mass of electrolyte consumption.

Note: If you have ADHD (dopamine sensitivity deficiency by definition) then that could be why you are tired, especially brain fog, for example, if it's hard for you to get out of bed every day it's probably because of the lack of dopamine effect. Consider brain vitamins, I wouldn't recommend adderal because it's very bad for you.

It could be depression. If not, there are so many problems that can cause low energy. Off the top my head, some big ones are :
-Some sort of sleep disorder (like sleep apnea) so get a sleep test. There are lots of these types of disorders and effect your sleep cycle in certain ways that can make you tired. Even narcolepsy is a possibility.
-mental health
-blood pressure problems in various possible ways
-could be you have a sensitivity to some sort of food/compound your ingesting. For example, you could have a weird reaction to coffee and it could make you sluggish the rest of the day.
-you could be a homosexual
-lastly off the top of my head, It could be some vitamin deficiency.

But again there are alot of possibilities. Are you depressed? Honestly , does life not feel exciting ever ? Feel the need to drink/do substances to experience happiness? Feel like everything is boring, even things that would comfort you earlier in life? Lots to think about

-you could be a homosexual
