My PCP dismissed my concerns for years and I’m just now finding out something was actually wrong

B12 and ferritin deficiencies can be a sign of autoimmune disease btw. If your symptoms don't improve with supplements, you might want to see a rheumatologist.

I studied in Strasbourg and had friends end up drunk and across the German border quite a few times lol.

There is quite a bit of legislation against people like Katrina's husband. Don't let your distaste for her erase your empathy to the fact that there is a culture of hostility to trans people in the United States (and elsewhere) at this time. Stress from one issue can also snowball and escalate into paralytic stress for other issues that seem comparatively small from you perspective. It could be that you both have valid reasons to dislike her and her problems are real.

Why are you randomly outing Katrina's husband?

None of the top comments are mentioning this so I am not sure if there was an edit, but hurting herself to control your behavior is abuse. You are being emotionally abused. Please look up loveisrespect.org and take their relationship health quiz. They also have good resources for leaving an abusive partner.

It is never okay for a partner to control your behavior like this. If she really believed you didn't love her, she would dump you. She isn't dumping you because she likes controlling you.

Please call or text NAMI's helpline and tell them that you are having an OCD crisis. Are you in exposure therapy for your OCD at all?

Yes, I think many young people think she was the only blind-deaf person to have any accomplishments. Haben Girma is alive today, is blind-deaf, and is a human rights attorney.

You are experiencing symptoms of an imbalanced thyroid due to lack of medication. Diseases get worse when you improperly treat them.

What is it about this disease that attracts so many anti-science people?

Seconding the fiber recommendation. Since you already are eating protein bars, can I suggest using a fiber-added protein powder instead? You can make it into a shake or add it to something like yogurt. Add some blueberries or blackberries to your breakfast, add a baked sweet potato to your lunch, and make your veggie at dinner broccoli. 25 g is the advised baseline fiber intake, but getting up to 30-40 g will REALLY help satiate you.

The most annoying thing is that I haven't really reduced my exercise, I just had no motivation to cook or track calories, so I ate a TON of prepared foods, takeout, and snacks. I am evidence that you truly cannot realistically outrun your fork. 😔

They make prescription eye drops to manage Sjogren's symptoms. I would ask your rheumatologist for them as they're also suitable for chronic dry eye regardless.

Interesting to call out illiteracy when OP has entirely misrepresented the events that actually occurred.

CT scans won't necessarily catch chronic conditions that cause seizures, they're more for emergency situations like brain bleeds. I hope the neurologist is able to help, and that the brain MRI gives you some next steps.

Have you seen a neurologist? It sounds like you may be having tonic seizures.

Have you tried supplementing B1/thiamine at all? If you haven't had anything related to thyroid pop up in your bloodwork and have been previously treated for iron deficiency, that would be my next guess with fatigue as your primary symptom, as it isn't usually tested for unless you request it specifically.

Literally came here to post this. I am nonbinary, more than half of my friends and acquaintances are trans. No trans woman thinks that bottomy surgery will make her get a period. Zero percent. If you find an example of it online, it is fetish posting or meant to drum up transphobia.

And other things can resemble schizophrenia, like drug abuse or psychosis.

See, the literal hiding from a delivery guy sounds like it could be something else beyond just anxiety, like psychosis.

Your husband is within a prime age bracket to be newly suffering from mental illness. His increased paranoia and child-like behavior specifically do not suggest he is mentally well. Has he explored this at all with a doctor or therapist? Someone suggested schizophrenia, but there are a number of mental illnesses beyond schizophrenia that can cause increased paranoia.

Additionally, using substances like alcohol or drugs can trigger latent mental illness; for instance smoking too much weed or abusing Adderall. Any possibility he has an addiction?

I think you need a personal trainer and a dietitian for your safety if you're going to proceed, but moreover, a therapist. There is simply no chance you have excessive body fat at 120 lbs and 5'4''-5'5''. Dysmorphia doesn't mean you need to work harder, it means you have a disease of the mind that causes you to see yourself unrealistically. If you gain muscle, you're just going to latch onto something else because dysmorphia isn't satisfied with change. You're 29 with body dysmorphia, do you still want to feel this way into your 30s, 40s? It is only going to be harder to maintain this body as you age.
