I check the engine fairly regularly, and the mechanic says nothing’s wrong, but it still feels like it’s running kinda funny…

Perhaps it is the road that is the problem –Krishnamurti, probably

My entire life up until last year. Turned out to be biochemical gender dysphoria. Estrogen straight-up fixed it for me.

I do not think it will be fine. I just hope i can keep it together until my children are adults. Can imagine it hard core sucks to lose a parent as a young child.

Yes, until I found that when you start ignoring the lights as a habit, at some point your body and brain just stop doing stuff. I got myself in a burn-out by ignoring tiredness, stress, and all kinds of random issues. Please listen before you get yourself there, it’s not very easy to get out.

This is so true. I worked at a callcentre for two years, doing crazy shifts for more money, overtime, short weekends…it was my first job - I liked the money and since it was my first job, I wanted to prove myself and did way more than I was paid for.
The people that worked there for many years saw it coming and told me to take it slow or else I’d burn out. I was young and stupid, so I ignored them and the signs my own body gave me. When I was tired, I went to the coffee machine and made myself a triple espresso. Here we go again!
Then came the day where I just…stopped functioning. I couldn’t do anything anymore. I never felt so tired in my life and fell asleep on the toilet in the company bathroom. I still remember my dad driving me home and falling onto my bed, but not a lot else.
It took 1.5 years to get my energy back and the first few months are just a blur, I must’ve slept for weeks. I never regained all of the energy I had before that happened. Burnout is a bitch and what I did back then will follow me for the rest of my life.

No worries, it was benign and I had a gamma knife operation, but it’s in a place where it can’t be surgically removed without doing damage so it’s just there.

I actually used this to explain a concern of mine to my wife. We had a Subaru Forester that had some minor but expensive issue that kept the check engine light on, so we ignored it. And because of that missed something else that made the engine 'splode (not literally, just turned the SUV to SCRAP). About 8 hours from our house and two hours from the nearest rental car agency (and no trains). With our daughter in the back and me needing to be at work the next morning.
Anyway, I was talking about how everything hurts a bit, and because of that my general pain tolerance is way higher to the point I don’t notice most of the time I’m hurt. Like the check engine light on the Subaru.
I imagine cancer is going to come along and when I find out at stage four, people will wonder how I possibly could have put up with it up to that point without going to the doctor. And I’ll say I didn’t even notice it.

More like “I can’t afford to do anything about it, and the guilt tripping from that light is slowly driving me insane as I keep expecting the other (brake) shoe to drop any second now…”

My right elbow been in pain for months and can’t afford the doctor. When this happened to the left elbow I did have insurance and saw the doctor. He just said your old and that was it. Like what the fuck! No xrays no checking for anything. So even if the lights on it wouldn’t matter my doctor would just shrug and say eat better or some shit.
Think this is common how people end up with stage 4 cancer and didn’t know. Because doctors don’t fucking listen to their patients when they feel bad.

Then find a new doctor. There are plenty out there seemingly just in it for the money, but there are enough decent ones that it’s worth the hassle of going through several until you find one that actually takes your seriously. It’s definitely a needless PITA, but the end result is what matters most.

Like the mechanic handing you a $15 code reader and saying “just erase it whenever it pops up.”

CEL is usually emissions. Just fart, you’ll be fine. If your CEL is flashing though, get yourself checked out, cuz you about to explode.

Ever since I turned 35. I’m not even worried about the check engine light anymore, that’s normal. A few other lights is OK too. As long as they don’t all turn on.

It literally is, I cannot sleep and I don’t know why. I mean I know some of why but not the root cause.

I had terrible insomnia as a late teen/early 20’s guy.
What “fixed” it for me was rock climbing (indoor sports walls). It both physically and mentally challenging. When you are climbing you are focused on the climb and noting else. The exercise helps tire you out and gives you a boost in endorphins when you a done.
I’m still a very light sleeper 20 years later; but I rarely get less than 5 hours a night these days.
I still climb once a week.
The root cause of my insomnia was rumination; I literally couldn’t stop thinking about all the stuff happening. Rock climbing forced my mind to focus on something productive the exercise helped tire my body out so that it was ready for sleep. Getting both body and mind ready for sleep helped so much.
This is my experience; I hope it can give you some help.

So I got to the ruminations stage of the RCA too but now I have physic-pills that stop the ruminations and I still can’t sleep*
It might be physiological at this point for me.

I’m ok with not being understood I don’t want to explain the details.
