So for sure talk to a professional at that point - if you’ve fixed all the sort of baseline health bullshit we all do to ourselves and still feel like you can’t do the things you want, talk to a doctor or a therapist or psychologist. Two notes - I had a friend with a thyroid issue that manifested in really pretty severe fatigue and brain fog that went undiagnosed because it mostly presented as a mental, not physical, problem. I’d also say what you’re describing sounds a bit like what I hear from friends with ADHD, so that might be another thread to pull.



Everyone has ADHD these days, I don't believe it has any actual boundaries any more. I do get migraines as my only physical sickness, doctors suggest just taking pain killers and that's all. Will see a specialist though, but would rather be naturally not right than clinically unwell for a misdiagnosis.


It has boundaries and good psychiatrists will know what to look for.

Every comment here starts with "see a doctor". What do you lose by trying that since it seems you already tried everything else?


Sure. Most will just diagnose ADHD and autism willy-nilly though, hence the realistic poor boundaries.

I have tried that. I will see a specialist with proper over-the-top tools when I can. But the people I see are renowned for over diagnosing too these days.
