  • The tired effect coffee has is because your brain calms down and can rest. You just used that calmness to actually get things done. I have ADHD and coffee keeps me up for hours if I have too much. It’s definitely not a concrete rule, more just an indicator that you may have ADHD if coffee affects you differently. It’s not a concrete determining factor either way. Good luck on your diagnosis journey!

    I find in today’s society it’s easy to lose any reason for doing anything other than “I was told I have to” about halfway through college it really did feel like a scam, like I was getting screwed over and forced to do it anyway. I still believe it’s partially true, but I used the skills I learned in college to help push my personal life goals along.

    Ask yourself, will you be happy doing what you’re going to school for? Is the goal you’re going towards what you actually want to do? Will it help you do what you actually want to do? If you find good reasons for those, the next time you ask yourself “why am I doing any of this?” You’ll have an answer. If not, well, maybe it’s time to change your concentration, or seek out paths other than college.

    Just remember that you also do need to think about affording to live (unfortunately) in all of this.

    I had similar issues, the also initially thought it was thyroid issues.

    Do you have allergies? Take allergy meds if you’ve noticed issues. Wash your sheets if it’s been awhile, that can make your allergies way worse than you realize. If you snore because of allergies or other reasons and don’t know it it can really fatigue you during the day, speaking from experience. When I started taking a vested interest in dealing with my allergies my energy was better.

    Caffeine never really worked for me, vitamin b drops in a flavored water worked decently, and energy drinks work well. Bang works pretty good but fucks up my stomach. Monster works ok and fucks up my stomach a little less, and Ghost is my go to these days if I need one. It’s like the taurine and vitamin b in them helps more than caffeine for some reason.

    Additionally, I know it’s hard, but try to make goals for yourself, essentially a “why do I want to do this, what am I working towards?” If you have an answer to that, it’s a lot easier to get motivated



  • Taking multiple baths a day can dry out your skin really quickly, you need to take one a day, at most. Even so, the areas that need to be washed daily are your pits, face, feet and groin. You could get away with a “whores bath” (washing just those 4 parts with a soapy rag) most days and a full bath every few days.

    The exception being if you sweat a lot or have a dirty job of course.
