I normally wouldn't bother front-paging this kind of stuff, but in this case I felt it was too important not to. If this is frowned upon, then sorry, won't happen again?
Anyway, at the risk of self-diagnosing, I'm pretty confident I'm anemic AND asthmatic, which has had a serious impact on my productivity and creativity (At this point I can't even be bothered to think up characters and scenarios most of the time).
My theory is that I've always been this way, but my hormones were able to at least partially hold off the effects until I hit my thirties, when those disappeared altogether.
I've been able to prop myself up somewhat and at least stop having periodic asthma attacks where my throat closes up and I can't breathe for several seconds, as well as get out of bed, play games and watch shows (yes, seriously) through the use of over the counter supplements and other treatments, which has been a long process to figure out bit by bit.
Unfortunately I cannot afford any doctor's visits to get a proper diagnosis/treatment on account of my only being able to sometimes hold up a very part-time job, AND continually going broke paying the electric and internet bills for my household, ESPECIALLY during the summer, so any financial aid would be much appreciated.
I have just set up a goal on my ko-fi page for this purpose.
Hopefully I'll get to determine once and for all exactly how much of my laziness comes down to medical reasons. If I can afford proper treatment and I'm still unproductive, then I guess I was a slothful doof the whole time lol.
That said, I would have motivation to at least TRY and get more stuff done as thanks for paying my bills and getting me back on my feet, so there's that I guess.
Anyways I'm rambling. Like I said, MASSIVE thanks in advance to any who contribute!
