  • I have, for a few months, about a year and a half ago. It was slightly effective. I stopped when I moved and couldn't get myself to call again.
  • Nothing that looks like it should matter.
  • Not much. I had a routine blood test some years ago. Everything was normal, though they probably only measured a few things.
  • No prescription drugs.
  • When I'm on campus I eat mostly vegetables, fresh or canned, and some canned fish or meat, and generic cafeteria food (balanced diet plus a heap of French fries); nothing that requires a lot of effort. At my parents', I eat, um, traditional wholesome food. I eat a lot between meals for comfort, mostly apples. I think my diet is fine in quality but terrible in quantity; I eat way too much and skip meals at random.

Given your symptoms, the best advice I can give you is to see a medical doctor of some kind, probably a psychiatrist, and describe your problems. It has to be someone who can order medical tests and write prescriptions. You might very well have a thyroid problem - they cause all kinds of problems with energy and such - and you need someone who can diagnose them. I don't know how to get you to a doctor's office, but I guess you could ask someone else to take you?

How much fresh citrus fruit is there in your diet?

One of the things that helped me with near depression symptoms when i was in another country was consumption of fresh fruit. Apples and pears helped me, but you already are having apples. hmm..

Try some fresh orange/lemon/sweet lime/grapefruit juices. Might help.

Quite a lot, but possibly too sporadically. I'll try it, thanks.
