Honestly, that kinda happened to me.
Well, I had a blood test because I was having heart palpitations and under extreme stress, so not exactly “just collapsed”. But they found I have hypothyroidism, and life’s much better and much easier with the medication.
Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…
Annoyingly this must’ve been an issue for years, but I was raised to “shut up and get on with it”, and told the problem was that I’m “just lazy” :/

It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”
That’s basically what therapy is. The lack of vitamin is the damage you received in your childhood that you just thought was normal.
Then you actually recount the experience to a therapist and they tell you how not normal that is and help you to recognize the fact that you had to go through that without support and that the way you are is because you had to cope to support yourself to survive when no one else was there for you.
Once you know it then you can tell all your friends and get them to awe at your seemingly inhuman perseverance.
Living through trauma isn’t really a super power. And I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on anyone. In fact, I don’t usually share what happened to me with anyone but my therapist and my wife.
Yeah turns out all I had to do was take a pill of Diet Meth in the morning and now I can function like a human being
It was folic acid for me. Turns out me and my family don’t get the full affect of vitamins or medicines. After some genetic testing we are all taking it and are all feeling a lot better and our meds are actually working. It’s nuts how simple it was to turn us all around.
Looks like a few ways to test for this, how’d you guys find the needle in the haystack? Doctors won’t actually run all the tests for cost reasons…
I kept having to change meds because different ones didn’t work. One doc got me genetic testing which cost me about $15.
Iron deficiency for me. Still miserable, but less so.
Source is Pictures For Sad Children, if anyone’s unfamiliar. Not that it’s been available online in the last decade.

I’m low on Vitamin $
That is actually the vitamin that most people lack to be happy and unanxious
[reverently] All this time, you lacked the Dollar? And yet you persevered?
This was vitamin D for me… When I finally got checked I was at a 6… The lowest you’re supposed to go is like 40. I could hardly chew food I was so exhausted. Winter is still hard for me, but I take a crap load of vitamin D and it helps a bit
I have 20 and haven’t been able to get it up in years
I’m sorry to hear that, but how is your vitamin D level?
it’s been around 20 for years
