It took me way too long to realise I genuinely needed more rests and sleep than other people because having four learning disabilities (including one that made moving my body more tiring than it needed to be, one that made reading anything more work than it needed to be, and one that makes focusing more draining than it needed to be) exhausts you faster than not having any of them or even only having them in moderation
My brain was out here being exhausted by the act of reading, moving, and concentrating on anything, and I never connected it to the fact that I constantly disagreed with people over how much sleep we needed
People would be like we 'only need 8 hours sleep', and my tired ass would be like 'um, actually...' and it's like 8 hours was probably true for them but not for my severely dyslexic, severely dyspraxia, and ADHD ass
My brain was exhausted just from existing let alone actually having to do stuff
Of course I need more sleep

Annoying how symptoms of depression and anxiety dovetail so neatly with symptoms of anemia.

(TW) Here’s the thing I’ve been struggling with something for more than 13 years without knowing what it was. Ever since I was 12 or 13 year old, every time my period was near, it was a living hell. I felt suicidal, I have no energy to do anything, I have trouble sleeping and concentrating. I just wanted to exist but not really be alive, I would snap at anyone or I would feel an intense anger at them even though they haven’t done anything to me. For 13 years I’ve been left in the dark, not knowing why I would get like this and why it would happen when it was 2 weeks before my period arrived. I honestly thought I was going crazy or maybe the doctors were right and I was being overdramatic. After I had that attempt on my life in 2017 (that day I was feeling really suicidal and I just wanted to end my pain) I thought I was the only one who would get like this but now in 2022, I finally learned that this has a name, a reason and that many people suffer from this... it is called PMDD...
It is such a relief knowing that I wasn’t going crazy or exaggerating like those professionals told me, I just didn’t know of PMDD!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(If you think, you might have it or someone you loved may have it, these are the symptoms you experience...
Anger or irritability
Anxiety and panic attacks
Depression or suicidal thoughts
Difficulty concentrating
Fatigue and low energy
Food cravings or binge eating
Headaches
Insomnia
Mood swings)

Zero appetites, medically termed anorexia develop as a complete lack of desire to eat, often signalling underlying health concerns. Characterised by a loss of appetite despite hunger cues, it can lead to severe weight loss, malnutrition, and compromised immune function. Causes range from physical conditions such as infections, hormonal imbalances, and digestive disorders to psychological factors like stress, depression, or eating disorders. According to research, around 0.9% of women and 0.3% of men will experience anorexia at some point in their life. It means that approximately 1 in every 100 women and 1 in every 300 men will develop an eating disorder.

People face diverse challenges in life. No one is exempted from it. Whether we like it or not, it is the reality. We are all prone to encountering different obstacles on a regular basis. Learning to deal with them in a healthy way is essential for people. It’s a basic principle when it comes to behavioral health care in New York. This is why healthy stress management is a must. It doesn’t only protect people from mental illnesses, but it also enhances their overall quality of life.

Researchers have discovered that leaky blood vessels, together with a hyperactive immune system may be the underlying cause of brain fog in people with long covid.
They suggest their discovery is important for the understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline – difficulty with thinking, memory or concentration – seen in some people with the condition.
It is hoped the findings will help with the development of treatments in the future.
To Summarize:
Long Covid sufferers experience symptoms like forgetfulness and concentration issues due to leakiness in brain blood vessels, according to research findings.
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro confirm that Long Covid patients with brain fog have disrupted blood vessels in their brains, making the neurological symptoms measurable.
Blood vessel leakage in the brain, along with an overactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog in Long Covid patients, leading to potential changes in understanding and treating post-viral conditions.
I can't find a single right-wing news source covering this.
