On the 4th May I (23F) got my blood work results back and I found out I was severely deficient at 5.8 ng/mL. My doctor prescribed a d3 injection with a dosage of 600,000 IU the same day and I got it. I was also told to take 1000 IU everyday which I do as well. Along with that I was prescribed 60,000 IU every week.

I know my level was way too low and high dosage is required to bring them up quick but after looking through many reddit posts and Ive noticed that not everyone is administered with this many dosages. I hope I am wrong tho.

I am generally a very anxious person when it comes to health so thinking about it has been stressing me out for days. I would love to know how was the experience for people with d levels that were similar to mine

I feel so sad, lonely and lost. I feel like such a burden on my parents for worrying them again. July-December of 2025 was something I would never want to relive again. I was in so much stress, it made me physically sick. I was having breakouts all over my face. My immunity was at an all time low. By the end of december, I started taking medicines and finally felt like a new person again. Propanolol literally saved me. I was thoroughly enjoying living but all it took was one bad menstrual cycle and I am back to square one.

After my period ended, my iron level was low. and my bp reading was slightly lower than my baseline. Unfortunately, I have OCD and health anxiety, and I find myself again stuck in the same frame of thought unable to escape. Last night was horrible, I was shaking again, thinking horrible thoughts. I just wish to be better again but I dont want to take medicines. I feel scared that I might start depending upon them and my body will get used to it.

I cannot help but feel like life is so bleak. Things were finally looking hopeful and I even stopped checking reddit posts. People around me get to bounce back from things all the time but why cant I.
