Good evening everyone.
Has anyone encountered problems with physical fatigue (neurological diseases and other nonsense). If yes, how did you cope? I have no strength left .
I will try to state everything briefly:
For half a year now I have been suffering from a constant loss of strength. Not burnout or anything else, I literally just have no strength to do anything (work, study, etc.).
It all started with the fact that +- a year and a half ago I began to actively work and actively develop in the field. I did not spare myself, spent all my free time to achieve some results (I worked 10-11 hours and slept consistently for 3-5 hours). I didn’t give a damn about burnout and the like.
However, about six months ago I began to notice strange things. I began to get tired faster, there was a constant feeling of some kind of clouding of consciousness (I don’t know how to describe it, as if I was in a half-sleep all the time and did not understand at all what was happening) and everything went on as usual.
Every month it gets worse, in addition to the previous symptoms there are constant chest and head pains, shortness of breath, inability to focus on one task, absolute inattention and memory gone to hell, it is impossible to remember any information for a short period of time (even scrolling it through my head over and over again). Naturally, anxiety, fear, irritability, etc., always on a swing. I used to think that this is connected with the peculiarity of our field (sometimes there is a lot of money, sometimes there is nothing), the money earned does not bring joy, but on the contrary increases anxiety (because I understand that it will go on food, rent and a taxi to school, and after it runs out - again I will have to frantically think how to get it and so on in a circle).
I thought about having a good rest from everything (a month and a half), but I just can’t. As soon as I think about flying/going on vacation somewhere - I immediately start driving myself by the fact that it is not time to rest and I need to work, earn money. The desire to work and learn something new is wild, there are a lot of ideas that I want to implement, but I just don’t have the physical strength anymore.
At the moment, I have enough for 2-3 hours of productive work, and then the eternal overcoming of the desire to lie down on the bed and not get up for 2 days. Now my day goes like this: study (5-8 hours a day), work (10-12 hours a day), sleep (3-6 hours a day). I tried to close this with energy drinks 2-3 pcs a day (they only make things twice as worse), alcohol (at first it helped to relax, now after I drink - the next day they just drop out of life) and naturally this only made it worse.
Of course, I am very happy that while still studying in college I have x2-4 of the average salary in Moscow (I don’t live even close), I rent a nice apartment and completely provide for myself and my passion. However, I no longer have the strength to maintain such a regime, the feeling is that a few more months of this regime and the path to the grave is guaranteed.
As soon as the chest pains, shortness of breath, etc. started, I immediately started thinking about the heart or lungs, but as I learned, the heart usually hurts under the left shoulder blade (and not in the chest), and if there was something with the lungs, I would have coughed to death a long time ago. I asked many doctor friends (fortunately, there are plenty of them), they all said that it was something neurological, I started googling the symptoms - bingo! ALL the symptoms match, some were there from the very beginning, but I just ignored them.
I started going to doctors, the result - neurasthenic syndrome. They prescribed some pills, I don’t want to drink because I had a bad long-term experience with something similar. I’m now taking vitamins and other things, of course, there is no effect) But it’s still better than drinking what was prescribed and existing as an even bigger vegetable.
In this regard, a question for the older generation. Have you encountered something similar? If so, how did you cope and what can you advise?
P.S.:
I'm not asking you to pity me, I don't like that myself.
I'm asking for constructive advice, without advice like: "just take a rest", "have a beer in the evening", "a tit of beer in your left hand, in your wife's right tit" and so on.
