BAD VERMIN. Bad, bad Vermin.
I've had enough. My body is falling apart because I'm fucking ill and I don't take care of myself. Other people might be able to get away with shit but I can't and I have to accept that.
At first it was just my piercings not healing. Now cuts, bruises and even spots aren't healing. It can take me a month or even two for my skin to heal from a small zit. My hair is dry and falling out. My skin creases easily, stretches too far and doesn't spring back.
I have a digestive problem that means, amongst other things, I don't absorb nutrients well. I also cannot eat large quantities of food. But the last few months I have been painfully undisciplined in ensuring that my vegetarian diet contains enough sources of protein. I've been living on mostly carbohydrate, my body is screaming for protein and fat and to be honest I don't think I can do this anymore.
So...I'm going back to eating meat. Not a lot, as I do find it hard to digest which is one of the reasons I gave it up in the first place, but I really need more protein and B vitamins. I'm also starting a course of intensive vitamin supplements and a more disciplined sleep pattern. I've been fannying about for too long and it's become self-destructive. At twenty years old I should not be developing signs of premature aging. I need to start taking my body seriously again - after all it's the only one I've got.
How are you guys anyway?

You certainly deserve none of those physical problems, so there's evidence of how little influence I have over the universe! I think you will find some ways to improve things if you keep searching. It can take many years even for specialists to learn of important new discoveries, so I wouldn't be too pessimistic about something worthwhile already being out there. One thing I've done is seek out the department head at the university's school of medicine in the relevant discipline, on the reasonable assumption that the head guy where they teach specialists must know something about what's current and important. It's worked out quite well a couple of times. Good luck!

wowzers, I hope you start to feel better soon! I've been in "moods" where I can't eat a full meal. Usually I'm better off all around if I just graze throughout the day, eating a little bit all the time.
