So I got the results back from my bloodwork today. Turns out I have iron deficiency anemia. So I'm gonna be taking a multivitamin with iron and I'm going to see the doctor in another 6 weeks. Hopefully this will clear up some of the issues I've been having with fatigue.
Anyway, tonight's my last night of stage 2 so I'm pretty relieved that it's over. I don't know what it is about this stage but it hit me hard on my first run through as well. Overall I definitely noticed a lot more aggressive behavior from myself, which has it's place at times, but it was kind of overkill. For me, since I deal with social anxiety a lot, I tend to already be overly aggressive. My anxiety has definitely improved over the years and I rarely get a racing heart beat or intense nausea. However, I still have that very primal fight or flight response, which causes me to act out in aggression towards the fear. So I'm on edge a lot of the time, like someone is going to fight me or something, it's stupid.
But I have to give credit to this stage for pulling out my inner jerk because that has always been a little difficult for me. I know exactly what to do and say in situations so people respect me, so I'm grateful for that.
I'm not really going to rack my brain trying to detail all the changes from this stage, but it did its job. I've just been really tired lately so life has been kind of difficult for me and I've got sort of a brain fog going on. I'm sure once I start stage 3 I'll notice how different I feel.
