21M I dont feel stressed and honestly this year has been amazing for personal growth as i finally feel like i have discovered a new sense of drive but I have suffered a lot of ailments in the past year where the through line seems to be stress March i got shingles, Then jock itch around the same time which spread to a skin infection which i am getting under control Then alopecia areata more recently and I am constantly breaking out in hives and itches when I try sleep Recently my erections as well as morning wood have weakened and libido has basically disappeared. I dont think I have been genuinely horny out of nowhere for like 1-2 months I am averaging 6-8 hours of sleep a night. I am in a caloric deficit of about 300-1200 ( I dont really track to get a consistent deficit as long as I am under maintenance i dont really care) I am completing a 6 month tafe course (for anyone outside of australia this is kinda like community college for certifications) and a uni degree at the same time I dont go to the gym anymore as I dont work and am using the course to get a better paying job so until December i wont be earning. I take 3000IU of vit d3 and k2 a day as blood tests showed a deficiency aswell as a deficiency in some type of white blood cell which i was told is normal after going through shingles I really dont feel mentally stressed in all honesty I feel content and driven (except when i start thinking about my physical symptoms and wondering wtf is going on) Saying all this to say is there a way I could be stressed without feeling it and how do you guys manage it both mentally and physiologically.
