Do I have chronic fatigue? A New Chapter of Recovery

Alright so I wanted to give an update to my situation.

I am moving in with my parents for the time being in a new home in a new city. It's quiet and should be quiet peaceful. I needed to really get away from all the excitement that happens up at college, and so this will be a good opportunity to focus on healing. 


What am I doing to heal? And what am I healing from?

Well, to be honest, I haven't really gotten any diagnoses besides low thyroid... But I know there's more to it than that. Here's my theory:

Due to chronic overwhelming stress from many sources, I have developed:

low thyroid
adrenal fatigue
low immune system
some form of gut dysbiosis

And from all of these things I have been having SO MANY symptoms. It's ridiculous and it's very hard to determine what is really causing what. So, I figure if I focus on doing a lot of things right, I can heal all of this. So what am I going to be doing?

1. Focusing on sleep patterns
2. Relaxing
3. Continue to eat a whole foods plant based diet
4. Avoid excess stimulation
5. Anything and everything that can support health
6. Avoiding exercise, or at least being mindful of my body's messages

And there's tons of stuff on top of that. But those are the basics. 
I've been to tons of doctors and that is exhausting. I've been tested for autoimmune diseases, b12 damage, multiple sclerosis, etc.. But not clear cut things. So, we will see how this period of time goes. I hope that I see progress!

Thanks.
