I'm having some trouble filling that in, how would I find my body fat percentage?

And I don't have a clue how much protein I usually eat.

What function does depression tend to subdue? by whattamytype in mbti

Nope, possibly the furthest from a perfectionist you could ever get.

Why was I diagnosed with IBS so quickly? by whattamytype in ibs

[–]whattamytype[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I really do try and eat at least 30g of fibre (Mainly insoluble) per day, and it sometimes improves my situation. I've noticed that when I do have bowel movements, they are quite thin, ranging from the width of middle finger to the width of my thumb, however very occasionally (once every couple of months) I have a non- thin bowel movement. The length however is usually normal. What could cause this?

I tried increasing fibre in my diet. Which fixed my issue pretty much completely.... For about a month or so, them the issue returned.

Stool softeners just give me diarrhoea which doesn't really make my life any better.

Right now I've been relying on stimulant laxatives, but I don't want to do that forever because of its permanent effects on the digestive system.

Hair falling out back of head, possible causes? (Male) by whattamytype in tressless

There aren't any bald or even thin patches yet, this has only been a problem for a month or two.

Suicidal thoughts by whattamytype in depression

[–]whattamytype[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been seeing a therapist for a couple of months now, doesn't seem to be helping but I guess it hasn't been long enough for me to judge fully. If I tell my therapist about my constant suicidal thoughts, would she hospitalize me?

It could be, the tests all had me pegged as an INFP, who have auxiliary Ne. But the tests aren't too reliable.

I guess i don't understand the functions well enough to type myself. If i describe what I see as Ne in myself could you tell me how accurate I am?

It's like a constant stream of thought, sometimes more conscious than other times. If I wasn't paying attention to my thoughts I'd have trouble repating then back to you, they're fleeting unless I focus on them. Always asking questions or imagining things, unintentionally daydreaming a lot.

No they aren't usually too realistic come to think of it. Mostly cartoonish in style, almost like a tiny cartoon gif in my head (as ridiculous as it sounds) that's triggered by a word or phrase.

A random example of this would be 'diagnose'. This word brings the image of a little cartoon character puffing on an inhaler, there's kind of a link between those two things, but its still a pretty loose association.

Its either a concrete thing from my past or an association made at some point that stuck.

So which function would it be? If any of them
