Hello. Greetings. Bonjour! What's up? I hope you are doing fine. Thanks for stopping by and caring for a bit, appreciate it.

Here are some health tips for you, Profile-Scroller-person:
1- Sleep 7+ hours a night. Sometimes it's hard but it's necessary.
2- Eat enough calories based on your weight and height https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html If you aren't eating enough calories you will feel 'mentally tired all the time'.
3- Drink enough water with your food so that you can digest easier. If you feel like you get tired after meals then your stomach is either churning too hard on not enough meals per day, or you aren't sleeping enough. High saturated fat content in meals can make them harder to digest.
4- Make sure your stomach is not too acidic. If it's too acidic you can feel tired from a 'mental strain'. Easy tip is to, if you sleep on your back, sleep on an incline. And if you sleep on your side that's fine too. Helps to keep the acid low in your stomach at night.
5- Caffeine can help to maintain focus, but is not a source of energy. You will need to make sure to eat enough to keep caffeine's increased-focus onto productive things. If you have caffeine on an empty stomach you can easily find yourself not eating anything for hours (unless that's your goal?).
6- Caffeine has a half life of about 5 hours, so that means if you have 2 cups of coffee, that's about 200mg of caffeine, after 10 hours you'll still have 50mg of caffeine in your blood, which is going to prevent you from sleeping easily. Here is a handy calculator to help you with intake/halflife:
https://www.gkbrk.com/wiki/caffeine-halflife/ Personally I find I need <30mg of caffeine in my blood to be able to fall asleep.
7- Caffeine also can make one anxious, I've heard that a few times. I only seem to experience this if my anxiety was bad before taking the caffeine, and then the caffeine in high doses makes it worse. At that point I'd recommend a 50 or 100 mg caffeine limit to reduce anxiety.
8- I tried for a while to only take caffeine (in pill form) on weekdays, and skip them on weekends. But the zombie-like state wasn't worth it. Now instead of going to zero on weekends I'll go down to 100 or 50 mg of caffeine, to at least be functional, while tapering down from the weekdays.
9- I do use caffeine in pill form, I get a bottle of a hundred 200-mg caffeine pills (that can snap in half to become 100mg) for $6 at walmart, they are great.
10- Caffeine also drains your body of glucose quickly to fuel its energy, so you might find you get a burst at first, and then an hour later you might crash, this is due to a lack of glucose in your blood. You can get more from whole grain healthy carbs, or otherwise from healthy fats and proteins. Also you should be aware that glutamine produced in your muscles can convert to glucose, so if you aren't exercising you might be more at-risk for this effect.
11- I speak so much about caffeine here because I found coffee flavour to be horrible, but found energy drinks at age 21 and found it helped me (with my adhd-y brain) focus on school work so much. So I've been trying to optimise how it helps without going overboard. It probably sounds like more trouble than it's worth, but I think it is worth in low doses even.

Oh I guess if you are feeling lonely also, just message me either here or on discord. I do care about people a lot. Sometimes I get annoyed by people who are mean or who are narcissistic or psychopathic, but that's fairly rare.. But for the most part I do care a lot about people. I care also about homeless people and hungry people. A lot of hunger out there...
