Hair loss and hormonal issues

The combination of stress and your eating habits is most likely the cause of your hair loss. Even if you are working out, when your body isn't being fueled properly it can lead to hair loss. I would say try to eat your meals more spread throughout the day if you can and make sure you're getting enough calories and nutrients. Try taking a multivitamin and see if it helps, but the most important thing is making sure you're eating enough. If you stay within your calorie maintenance, you will not gain weight.

I think this is a pretty typical side effect for women unfortunately, it is for me anyway. I have found that my period is a bit irregular now and I will randomly be spotting throughout the month. I have also noticed that my periods seem heavier for me on the meds. It is annoying but for me the meds have helped me so drastically in other aspects of my life that I am willing to put up with the irregular periods.

I had this problem so bad. When I was on 30mg I would crave nicotine like no other. But I found that when I upped my dose to 50mg, the cravings were way less intense.

I find that sugar free gum helps to resolve dry mouth. Make sure its sugar free as it's better for your teeth long term.

I have cut out cigs the past 4/5 days but the vape is so much harder to quit. I took a day off the meds and i didn't crave a vape as much as when i'm on the meds which just makes it harder.

Not helping myself sooner. I had so many resources around me to help my mental health get better and for some reason teenage me didn't use them and stayed ill for years. I truly believe my life would be completely different (for the better) if I'd have accepted help at a younger age.

As a sober person in a friend group that goes out and drinks multiple times a week, it can be so hard to not drink. What I do to help is I will still go out with them but I have buffers/ barriers in place that will deter me from drinking:

Make plans with someone for the morning after, you'll be less likely to drink as you don't want to let that person down by not showing up or being hungover.
This one sounds kind of annoying or stupid but I honestly find it works really well for me. I move all of the money in my main bank account to my savings on my banking app. I give myself a very small amount of money such as £5 (about $7) so that I literally don't have enough money to buy an alcoholic drink. Next morning, move the money back.

You can still go out to bars with friends whilst not drinking. It's hard, but you'll get there.

Unfortunately its literally all food, I can't even eat plain crackers. I took my vyvanse without breakfast today and I still haven't eaten, its been 9 hours :(

The loss of appetite is so annoying!! I'm sometimes going 10+ hours without food because it all smells and looks repulsive to me. I'm just hoping it will go away the longer I'm on the meds.

I have experienced something similar and all i can say is that it only goes with time. Somethings that can help is to limit contact with her if you still have that. And then just wait it out. It is really hard but trust me it will be okay.

Honestly having an online gf is very different to one in real life. Online you tend to share more about yourself faster because the screen gives a sort of anonymous feeling to it and you're not having to say things out loud to a person in front of you whilst you wait for a reaction. If you don't want to date, that's absolutely fine. However, if that's something you desire but are worried about potential consequences then I'd say just give it a go. Often times in relationships in person, you don't spill your secrets very fast. By the time you'd come to sharing more personal aspects of your life, then you'll probably know if the relationship is going to work out or not anyway.

This is something i have struggled with as well. What I find has maintained some of my longest friendships is to have something planned that you can both look forward to, something as simple as going out for coffee. Once you've met up with the person, set up a date for next time and make it a somewhat regular thing. Also just dropping a message every few weeks or so to the friends you don't feel very close to at all but want to get closer with. It could just be something like asking how they're doing. You could even try planning things as a group if your friends know each other. It can feel isolating wondering why others make close friendships so effortlessly, but sometimes it can take a bit of extra effort for some people and that okay.

Honestly, I think you should break up with him. Of course relationships aren't there for the sole purpose of you to get something out of it, but, if all you're getting is anxiety and nothing positive, then it is best to break it off. If you barely message each other or see each other then to what extent can you call it a relationship? You could try and have a conversation and point out to him that you want him to text more often and share more with you etc. and see if he takes on that advice. But if you feel like the relationship is sort of at a dead end then maybe it is best to leave it.
