Summary
Fatigued every day since high school, they were told by doctors that blood and hair tests were normal. Anxiety and constant overthinking left them barely functioning, spending days in bed after strong emotions. Adderall made them crash harder and Prozac made things worse. Meditation, begun three months before their posts, gave the biggest difference so far and they felt more energetic.
