I made an appointment to see my doctor because I am feeling very tired all the time. The appointment had to be moved because of an issue with insurance (I live abroad) so I'm waiting for a new one.
As I was waiting I had an idea to keep a food diary, and was really quite shocked when I realised that my typical vitamin intake is non existent and some days my calorie intake is really low too - I skip breakfast most days and some days I'm skipping lunch as well. The food diary helped a bit in that it reminded me to eat something just to stick it in the diary, but then I forgot to fill it in and I've just realised today that I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch for the last three days.
It's not a control issue or a weight issue, it's more that I feel like it's too much effort to make food and I don't really feel hungry, until I'm really hungry. This is something that I have always struggled with, I don't really want to eat unless I'm being quite active. Of course, then I feel lethargic and don't feel like being active, so it's a vicious circle. There have also been money issues in the past where I felt it was a waste or frivolous, and if I don't fancy something, then I just won't eat it, so bland food/things which require a lot of assembly don't appetise me to the point to motivate me to actually put it together. But this isn't an issue any more, we can afford to buy nice food, I just need to change my habits.
Anyway - so I am still going to re-make the appointment, but I don't know whether I should ask for advice on the tiredness thing (since I think I've identified the obvious cause), the food thing (surely she will just say "So eat more"?) or the other (and probably related) issue which is that I suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD and I would like to explore assessment and treatment for that.
