Self-care:
1) Make an appointment with a physician. Vitamin D, hormone, & thyroid issues run rampant.
Men, find someone that checks testosterone (normal providers don't test this routinely).
Females, find an OB-GYN to test for estrogen/progesterone, etc.

You can:
- Create music
- Art
- Do yoga
- Breathe/meditate
