I'm happy with my life. I'm excited about my classes and maybe-flirting with a cute boy and in a fandom I love and actually getting along okay with my family. My second family of old friends are actually more available than usual, and I feel like I can ask to play with them. My roommates are cooperative and adorable in a baby-kittens way. I'm eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

...why, exactly, I'm still having trouble getting out of bed and tired all the time and all the rest of it, I don't know and would like to find out. Presumably it means I need different meds, because this is depression even though there is no cause for depression. Or it might be the fibromyalgia really getting a grip; I have a lot more aches and pains than I used to. But I would like it to stop, whatever it is.



IN OTHER NEWS: I was trying to downsize my mother's applesauce recipe to be A) makeable in individual portions B) within a half-hour space C) by small children with supervision, for my Preschool Methods class. Originally, I bought six apples for experimenting. This morning, in the depths of despair, I returned to the grocery store and bought two dozen. I promptly discovered what I had been doing wrong and now have twenty-two apples.

...There will be a lot of apple-eating in my future. I'm also considering giving apples to my teachers and hoping they're amused, or something, because LOTS OF APPLES. ^_^

Maybe try vitamin D supplements? I was a zombie for months, until my doctor tested my blood and found the vitamin D levels low. You want the kind that's liquid inside a gel cap, and 1-2000 mgs/day.

Apples are yum.

I take a general vitamin thingy, is the thing. Supposedly it has my daily allowances of iron and D and A and magnesium and all the rest of the things that being deficient in might be causing this. Really I should go to the doctor and make her test my blood for everything that's probably wrong, but...bleh. She's far away and I hate the doctor because my childhood one scarred me and I really hate giving blood.

There's been a lot of research lately that the RDA for vitamin D is way too low (it seems like every other day I see a new science blog entry about a correlation between low D and some random disease). And the form in multivitamins can be difficult to absorb. Low thyroid might another reason for fatigue -- blood tests are icky but sometimes necessary. I hope you feel better, either way :)

I will give the supplement a try, then! I will see about getting tested, too, I promise.
