And "ight sleep". Like aaaight, that waa good enough. Lol.

it's deep and light ofc they scroll the text and I toon a bad photo

I haven't tried modafinil no. Should give it a whack if any comes available. I used to have a classmate who was on it but that was 10+ year's ago and I didn't really know him.

What actually worked best was the very plain diet but I just... it's just so boring eating nothing but rice and gluten free fish sticks. But then I started to be able to just easily sleep 6 hours and get up. Felt like a real person. Because genuinely oftentimes if I try to get up but haven't gotten enough rest, I'll be worse off than when I've had a bottle of rum. Like my eyes won't go straight and I can't really get up properly.

Although I have to admit that some of these later long sleeps have been contributed to by the new meds I got for a broken rib, amitriptyline or the like. But it's alaovi used for IBS and depression, and neither of those are going amiss for me basically.

But man it's tiring. Idk how that would help anyone with depression. I mean yeah I care less about being tired and am not as annoyed about sleeping more than half the day but I don't feel like it's really helped my depression at all if it keeps me asleep for more than half the day.

But even without it I have issues. And I open curtains and have automatic lights to come on full at a decent wakeup time.

But yeah I could give modafinil a whack if i had some idk. But I think I'll just have to to back to rice/fish/potatoes/chicken diet.

Nah no sports. Haven't even got the energy to clean my apartment. I go for walks every now and then but no sports.

I did have similar/same issues even when I was in the army, (not the American one, Finnish, conscription, served a year) and nah, being active all the time didn't make me less tired. I manage to get myself in a position where I had my own office and could just sleep a few hours more than the other guys. And we ate 4-5 times a day and couldn't skip meals most times, so I actually did end up gaining weight as I suffered more from constipation back then than diarrhea like now. But during basic training I'd have a lot of sick-days. To the point our captain asked me whether I was sure I could make it in the "pre-officer training" or however I'd translate the training enlisted ranks (sergeants of different sorts) course. We call it "under-officer school" more or less. But anyway I thought they'd figure out my issues and I'd have less sick-days. But I didn't. But during basic I would fall asleep at any point. 5-min break for smokes? That's a nap.

I did have loads of endurance as well to be honest. Man were the officers of my age (so the guys who were in basic with me but later became officers and thought themselves tough shit) shocked when they couldn't keep up with 90+ kg me in a Cooper test (running distance for 12min.) To be fair I kinda shocked myself by running 3k.

But yeah after the army I discovered that anything spicy at least keeps me from getting constipated. But it doesn't directly cause diarrhea for me, I'm like 98% certain. Gluten and milk protein seem to be the worst offenders currently and am considering that it's NCGS (Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity) but if I'd read someone saying that a few years ago, I wouldn't believe them. I think they're just imagining it or at least exacerbating it. I'd think I'd sound like a middle-age crystal Karen. But nah, it's also an actual thing recognised by actual doctors and the literature.

But because I had no damage to the intestines when they checked it, they are fairly certain I don't have coeliacs. As I think am I (I would've been in far worse condition). But because of this somewhat milder form of some sort of gastric and metabolic issues, the public doctors can't be arsed.
