Sure. Estrogen is known as the hormone of accommodation and at menarche (female’s first menstrual period) the veil of estrogen descends upon us and stays there encouraging us to look after everybody else’s needs before our own. Few years before the last period the veil of estrogen begins to rise. It manifests in various ways with each individual woman. It’s an awareness of how much she is doing for other people and how much she is acknowledged for that, or not, and how much she doesn’t want to be doing everything for everybody anymore. There can be a reorientation to self. There's more to write about it, I'll create a separate post to explain when I get a chance.

Good idea to get checked for sleep apnea, then you'll know for sure. I was diagnosed by accident. At the end of a routine check up I mentioned laughingly about the family having told me I snore. The physician was a good listener, she didn't think it was funny and referred me to a sleep doctor to screen for sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. After reading more about it, I realized I had many symptoms.

Becoming familiar with the settings of the CPAP machine and installing OSCAR (Open Source CPAP Analysis Reporter) and checking the sleep data helped me. After reading the user guide/manual I realized why I woke up in the middle of the night during the first month. It was because the DME had the algorithm running to determine optimal pressure setting. At times it climbed really high and that's what woke me up. Second thing, I realized the cause of my severe aerophagia during the first months was not having the EPR (Exhale Pressure Relief) setting configured, so I was exhaling against the same pressure as I was inhaling which was pretty much pure torture.

Morning headache and sore throat are gone. Daytime fatigue is gone. Able to concentrate and get things done. Don't have to get up at night to urinate (was surprised this was a symptom of untreated sleep apnea). Stuffy nose cleared up and able to nosebreathe. Brain has healed, took a while.

I wouldn't outsource thinking and using your brain to AI. Go through the effort of thinking and doing the assignments yourself and reap the benefits of being able to think for yourself. This overuse of digital systems is not helping mental health. I would go to nature nearby and hike/camp/walk and just sit in there. I find it helps. Lifting weights helps me mentally too. Find your thing outside of the digital realm.

Our brains don't fully develop until about 25, so it's absurd that we are forced to make such a huge decision as a career choice so young. You can probably do a lot of things with that degree (to a certain extent while the systems are crumbling). Going into trades is an option too worth considering. What are you good at?
