I’m so burnt out

I worked so hard my first 3 years. I’m about to go into my last year of college and I literally cannot see myself working hard and getting good grades. I’m also dreading the fact that I also have to apply to grad school during that last year. I don’t want to spoil my years of hard work but also I’m literally so done w school.

How do I be hot when I go out?

I want to be this cool hot baddie when I go out, but unfortunately that doesn't happen. I can't dance and I don't know how to dance. If I try to dance, I feel so out of place and stiff. Like I get extreme second hand embarrassment for myself when I do dance or try to act sexy when I'm out. Like not even dancing, I don't even know how to move in general w/ out being so stiff. I'm skinny and have no assets. I just feel scrawny. I had a friend tell me she doesn't want to take me out clubbing again b/c my energy puts people off at the club. I'm better when I drink, but I just want to be a naturally confident and sexy person w/ out alcohol. It's just so hard and I don't know how to learn. I don't have many opportunities to go out and practice, b/c I'm in school. I would appreciate any tips or advice!!

Do I take MegaFood blood builder iron w/ vit c?

Since it already has some vit c, do I need to take it with vit c? If so, do you recommend vit c supplement or just orange juice.

air hunger bc of anxiety or iron deficiency?

For the past two month, i’ve had this sort of air hunger. I don’t have anxious thoughts but I did have to go to the ER last month bc i drank too much caffeine and my breathing was haywire. i recently found out im very iron deficient. Could this be the root cause? Has anyone experienced this before?

F22: Hair loss and itchy scalp

I'm brown and I had thick luscious hair. I used to sometimes wish that my hair was more thinner so it would be more manageable. This past year or two, my hair has been so thin and falling out like crazy. I can see so much of my scalp and it makes me so insecure to the point where I don't want to leave my house. I have an itchy and flaky scalp (idk if this is dandruff). I wash my hair once a week (since I was rlly young, I only washed my hair once a week or my hair becomes really dry and frizzy). I don't know if it's diet or stress (I'm in college). I did blood work and found out I'm severely iron deficient but I don't see that many sources of people losing hair b/c of iron deficiency. I was very depressed this one month last yr and this one part of my hair was matted like crazy so I cut it off. It still hasn't grown, it looks the exact same from when I cut it. I truly cannot stand my hair and I don't know what is the cause of my hair loss. I've been eating healthy these past three weeks and my hair is the same. If anyone was in the same situation as me, what did you do to regrow your hair?

Depressed that I didn’t have fun

I’ve been seeing those tik toks of people getting post grad depression and people missing going out every day and being around all their friends. It made me really think. I didn’t really have enough fun to be getting post grad depression. Like all I did was lock in and I was so burnt out from trying to get perfect grades that I would say no to everything. I never really got to party that much, go to bars and house parties, do crazy things, join social clubs and make a lot of friends. My college experience was painfully boring. I did almost everything wrong. I still have a semester left to do those things but I don’t really have friends anymore to do them. Sometimes I wish I could restart college. I just feel so lonely and depressed thinking about it. Idk what to do about it.

I’m not normal after ER visit

I had a caffeine induced episode three weeks ago. Ever since then, I’ve been having this weird feeling in my chest, chest tightness, shortness of breath. My thoughts are clear, but my body just doesn’t want to cooperate. Every day I wake up, and I’m scared I’m going to get those symptoms again, and then I do. It’s so tiring. I had the same thing happen to me six years ago and then it just went away but I don’t remember how. Has anyone overcome this? Please help. I don’t really want to go on meds though. I’m so tired of living like this.

My resting blood pressure is 106/72, and pulse is 60. i had a caffeine-induced anxiety atta ck four days ago and went to the er. ever since then, my body has been experiencing chest tightness, air hunger, and sometimes fast heartbeat. I visited a np, and she said i should take zoloft but i don't want to do long-term medications bc I know my anxiety is situational. I really wanted to be prescribed with propranolol, but she said my vitals were already on the lower end. I'm considering going to telehealth to get prescribed, but I also don't know if this is a good decision for my overall health. I had this same ER visit during cov id times, and it was b/c I thought I was dying from covid. And, the symptoms lingered after that but went away after a while. It's just that I can't stand these symptoms. I'm studying for finals and it makes it so hard to study. I wake up completely fine, but then I worry I'm going to get these symptoms again, and then I do. It's like a loop. I'm literally so scared of going to sleep because of these symptoms. Sry for the long paragraph
