Howdy folks, recovery had been going decent for the past month or so. I had some energy issues and saw my ED specialist doctor and it seemed a lot of it had to do with low iron issues and once that was taken care of, I was feeling pretty good and had a lot of energy and got out and did a lot. However, the past week, I've felt extreme fatigue, and some days it has actually gotten worse despite resting and not doing much and going to bed pretty early because I'm really tired. My brain has felt really foggy and I've felt kinda "woozy" for lack of a better term a lot of the time. I've still eaten the same so everything's fine there. There are several things that have made me wonder if my hormones are out of whack. Firstly, a terrible acne outbreak has overlapped with this. I haven't had acne this bad since I was at like the peak of puberty, and it's all over my forehead, face to some extent, shoulders, and neck, and even when I was a teen I didn't really get it below my face and on my body. It's really disheartening because some of my body dysmorphia stuff has gotten better, but now the acne has bummed me out because I always see people accusing those with acne of being unclean and not taking care of themselves when no one looking at me knows what I went through. I'm gonna mark this NSFW just to be on the safe side mentioning this, but I felt it was relevant to say my sex drive has been absurdly high, definitely as high as it's been since I started to lose it because of ED (if not about as high as it's ever been), to the point I questioned if I was asexual at peak ED, and being asexual is totally valid of course, it was just my body was too sick to have a sex drive. Lastly, I've felt very moody in both feeling very irritable suddenly and feeling really low spontaneously as well. For context, I started quasi-recovery in late January, did all in at the beginning of March, and was weight restored like really late April and sorta back to "regular" life at the beginning of May. It seems odd this is coming on months later if it is related to ED. Can anyone else relate to this?
