Is there something wrong with me? My parents say no. But I'm really tired all the time, sometimes I get really sad or dragged into my past from remembering or seeing something. My memory is getting worse. I find myself genuinely forgetting things a lot.

I really wanna tell myself that something is wrong with me. But my family always says I'm fine... I have no one irl to talk to. And I just don't know what to do anymore

get your ferritin checked, could be iron deficiency. it should be over 100

don’t take your family’s word for it. you know yourself better. even when I was diagnosed with autism my parents didn’t really believe it. being really tired for no apparent reason, getting really sad, bad memory, those can be signs of a mental or physical health issue. I have gone through periods of time like that. one time I chalked it up to autistic burn out. maybe from masking so much and general stress that I wasn’t super aware of. the other time it was the start of dissociation.

That's probably it... I'm a really picky eater and I've never grown out of it and I don't know how to fix it... Wish me luck with ever getting actual blood work done. My social anxiety is too bad to go to a doctor by myself and I don't trust my parents 😭

anxiety can be caused by iron deficiency. iron deficiency leads to a lot of secondary health problems bc your body can’t get oxygen. you can get an affordable iron panel, tbic, and ferritin test from jason health. you don’t have to go through a dr. the best iron supplements are over the counter so you don’t need a dr
