If you guys have been following my instagram stories, you would probably have known that I have fallen sick/unwell/lowkey dying over the past week.
However, I too, don't know what has made me sick and uncomfortable after so long. I took a blood test two days ago to find out what the cause is, but I'm suspecting either anaemia or thyroid dysfunction because both of these diseases are hereditary to me - meaning both my parents have them and they can be passed down through blood. I think it’s these two because some of its symptoms include fatigue, anxiety and depression which are caused by hormonal changes.
Lemme tell you, my hormones have been crazy, I get breakouts randomly, my skin goes from super oily to super dry suddenly and my period schedule is super unstable. I have been feeling very sluggish, tired, moody and have been having bad headaches. Everyday is just tiring and I don't feel anything else other than fatigue. My neck and back are aching, my muscles are weak and my joints are stiff. I've been sleeping well recently as well, like 8-10 hours per night and bedtime around 2AM which is 3 hours earlier than my usual 5AM schedule (for real). BUT HAHH, all these efforts but I still feel like a piece of shit.
Some of my friends tell me its burnout that I'm facing, but really, I don't know. I've always been grinding at work for, like, forever. I haven't stopped hustling for all the things I'm involved in. Perhaps I'm not the best at taking care of myself. But anyway, this has never happened to me before. So, I don't know what it is. Guess we'll just have to wait for my blood test to see what it is, but if my blood test comes back telling me I'm fine, then perhaps my mental health is just broken at this point it's taking over me (but I hope not) hahah
I'll be taking a short break from streaming until I feel better, be it a few days or a week. I'll try my best to maintain my streaming schedule, but if I can't, at least you guys know why :')
p.s. btw its not covid-19 cuz my lungs and breathing is fine and i dont have feverrrr so you can still give me a hug
