    What is the quality of food you're eating? If the food you're eating is junk, you can forget about that giving you energy.

    It varies. On the weekdays I eat mostly clean. On the weekends I eat pretty shitty tbh. But I feel bad almost every day.

    Do you practice breathing exercises?

    No. What do you suggest?

    Do you spend time in nature?

    It's not allowed in my country atm but when I can I certainly make some heavy effort.

     

    So I've done some research and I'm thinking that maybe I am Lactose Intolerant. Going to test this on Wednesday.

    So I've been struggling with this for a long time already

    It's hard to eat anything. It's hard to eat junk food and healthy food.

    I go on days without getting enough calories. I probably get under 1500. This is an estimative though. I don't have any self-image problems like anorexia. I just want to be able to eat. It's like I think of food and it's not appealing.

    This causes problems for me like low energy and it's hard to exercise because it seems like my fuel reserves are low

    I don't take any stimulants or even caffeine.

    Any help?

    Second question: if to go to a doctor, should I talk to a gp or dietitian?

    @Globalcollective Seems exactly right haha. I expected something more elaborate but this is nice already.

     

    What can I do to help my heterosexual male friends? They seem to come to me with these problems with approach anxiety and relationships and I just can't relate to it. Sometimes I'm out with them and they lack courage to approach and I would like to do something about it because they seem to suffer.

    I m amazed people would ask this ??

    You'd be amazed by knowing how much people think I'm DEFINITELY gay or DEFINITELY hetero macho and say it outright to my face. Sometimes the same day. I can't rely on others opinions so sometimes I have to ask this basic shit.:D The problems with having uncommon traits.

    I have this and it comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes strong, sometimes I can't even hear it.

    This is not supposed to be scientific. Just my experience. Take it with a grain of salt.

    Stimulants seem to have the greatest effect. When under effect of ritalin, it seems to go down. On the comedown, it goes up. Caffeine is the same. Modafinil is the worst offender of all. If your tinnitus is bothering you never try this drug. This is the lowest hanging fruit: quitting all stimulants. Don't do anything else before trying this.

    Vinpocetine seems to reduce tinnitus for me. The drug is made for that so that's expected I think. It has the most noticeable effect of all. If it gets unbearable in your later life this is an option.

    Other than that I can't contribute much. Good luck!

    Extra anecdotes:

    Supplements: L-Theanine increases it.

    Creatine makes it unbearable. Nice energy boost but horrible for tinnitus.

    Sleep: doesn't seem to influence that much.

    Exercise: lowers it

    I drink sometimes like 0-2x a month or so. It's not always worth it. I prefer to drink only with people I am already familiar with so I don't make friends with people I don't care when sober

    If I had friends that I hang out with only to use drugs I'd cut them off. It doesn't matter how harmful the drug of choice is

    For the health part, less is more. I don't drink caffeine so I can't just get drunk and get myself up the next day with a stimulant like people do so I need to moderate.

    I'm sorry for your loss.

     

    Here are some things that work for me:

    • Cut stimulants to the minimum needed (even better if zero) - caffeine is a sneaky devil
    • Blue light filters on all eletronic devices
    • Get a boring book and read it around the time you want to sleep

    Maybe you have some type of sleep disorder but that's a stretch of my knowledge. Definitely check up with a doctor about that.

    Good luck!

    • Pick a topic that interests you
    • Choose an imagined audience
    • What impact do you want to have with your speech? Write about that.
    • Read it silently
    • Then read it aloud till it drills into your mind
    • Then train in front of a mirror or record yourself
    • Watch yourself and see what could be improved
    • Repeat till perfection

    I've done this just one time but man that was the best presentation ever hahaha

    The funny thing is on those basic school presentations I could never replicate what I did that time and I became sad
