I’m Drained All The Time. Advice/tips Please?
I’m 26 years old.
I’ve quit the smokes and the weed (and dabbling in speed&coke) a dozen times in the last 3 years. About a month after quitting I’ve experienced a huge peak in energy levels. I’ve quit for the final time in the new year but feel as sluggish as I did when I was up to no good.
My diet is perfect. I eat a wide and varied amount of the best and most nutritious foods. Organic and locally sourced as far as is practical. I drink rarely. I exercise from time to time but not as much as I used to because of the low energy levels and corresponding lack of motivation.
I’m very tall, slim and lean.
I work about 70 hours per week, but my work is not physically demanding at all. It is not even that mentally demanding most of the time. I often work through the night so I get little sun, if any in the week, seeing as the days are very short here and outside of summer there is almost always complete cloud cover. (I have just started taking a Vitamin D supplement)
I have a history of thyroid problems in my family. My sister has an overactive gland, my mother an under. The men in my family have a history of heart, kidney and liver disease but this is mostly alcohol related.
I developed ecxema at 21 and it has stayed on my elbows and flares up occasionally in patches elsewhere.
I will soon go to a doctor for a full medical before you suggest it, but what I’m looking for is some cheap advice before hand like… oh I don’t know,
eat a high GI diet,
take a certain type of suppplement (I’m not crazy about these and would like my diet to be as natural as is possible)
do a certain type of exercise
read a certain book
train my mind in some manner
take up meditation
or yoga
Or tell me briefly how the above affected your energy levels.
Any help would be appreciated folks as this is beginning to depress me and I was a fairly happy-go-lucky guy all my life. Am I just getting old???!?

well, my mother always said, “The way you treat your body today is how you will feel 5 years from now.”
meaning: if you treat your body good today, then more than likely you will feel good later on down the road.
the long-term effects of the drugs may have began to take their toll on your body.
i have live by these words o’ wisdom that my mother gave me years and years ago, and i really think there is major truth to her advice.
so just stop the drugs and stick with it, give your body time to recuperate from the long-term effects that the drugs probably caused, and keep eating healthy and begin an exercise regimen.
plus, you may also still be experiencing withdrawal symptoms as well.
hope this helps. good luck to you!!
