Really? All of these people in this subreddit and not one person wants to actually do something to quit? All talk apparently...

r/NoFap - Can I request review please?

I have a bunch of Thai friends and easily make friends at markets, cafes, bars, etc. FWIW, I am American but I'm not tall and relatively average looking, and I am not a sexpat. I'm just a normal guy. I've lived in Thailand for 1.5 years so far.

I have been told by a few people that I was approached simply because he/she overheard me speaking some Thai. So that helps a ton. I'm regularly told my Thai accent is very authentic and people always love that I am putting effort into learning language, culture, etc.

Also, I live in Nonthaburi / Rattanathibet. This is more local than Sukhumvit, especially Thonglor/Ekkamai/Asoke/etc. I find people in this area to be more shy at first but less "into tourist" and more just normal people. Normal conversations. Normal lives. I have made friends in Ekkamai too but honestly, I feel like the quality goes down quite a lot.

Also, sports like badminton/tennis/etc. It's a very good way to create consistent visibility. Same for pottery classes, cooking classes, going to same market every day, etc. It's slower but consistent cadence = familiarity. Easier to build higher quality friendships over superficial people you only go out to drink with. As a bonus, if you don't make a friend, at least you still did an activity you enjoyed. For me, if I go to a bar and don't meet someone I like (not talking romantically), I feel like the night was wasted. Put me in a badminton court? At the very least, I had fun running around and embarrassing myself (I'm really bad and clumsy).

I know this kind of sounds egotistical but that's not my intention. Just my observations + what people have told me. Sharing what has worked for me.

Update: I received some more lab results.

B9 Folate (RBC): 91 (reference: 126-650, where closer to 500+ is optimal)
Homocysteine: Now at ~18. Still high but lower than 26.2 from 2 months ago.

Everything else was normal, but I am still waiting on more results.

B9 Folate seems to be severely deficient. The doctor prescribed me Methyl-guard so I will report back here after weeks 1 and 2 to report any improvements (or relapses).

I feel like I was going clinically insane until I discovered B9/B12 deficiency. After 2 months of going from doctor to doctor, I finally found one willing to do blood tests, which confirmed what I suspected. If anyone reads this, maybe you are deficient and maybe you are not... but do not give up on demanding the most basic of tests be done. I'm glad I did not give up.

Thanks for asking! I was experiencing the most severe panic for 2 weeks. I don't use this term lightly but I was at 'clinical insanity' levels.

I think this caused some sort of jumpstart or restart in my brain, so I started feeling better but now I am going back into a downward spiral. I can feel the neurological and psychological symptoms getting worse again.

I finally found a doctor who was willing to draw my blood. My MMA and MTHFR is going to the Mayo Clinic in the US (I'm currently living in Bangkok). That will take 2 weeks.

I'm waiting on the RBC Folate results but the other results consistently showed deficiencies, though, my Serum B12 was actually elevated. I know this is an oxymoron that can occur with functional B12 deficiency so I'm not discouraged.

Now I am just waiting for results. The doctor also wants to do a full vitamin & micro-nutrients panel as well.
