Thx guys. At the moment I am entering the exams phase for this semester and I am just glad that my health, tough not great at the moment, at least stabilized so far that I seem to be able to take part in all my exams as planned. After those are over I can go back to finding a longer term solution for the health issues.
What this disease really taught me is to choose my battles. Oftentimes you just have to temporarily accept some bad stuff and really stop thinking about it so it doesn't take up any energy so you can attack something else with all you have. If you have the choice don'T start too many battles at once but instead bring the few you have to an end and then start new ones.
Same old in training: Fatloss, better deadlift, better squat, better bench, better condition, training to be able to do skill xy all at once... not gonna happen. Having the skill to maintain your abilities with as little work as possible gives you much more room to really attack certain things (like boosting the deadlift ot whatever). A good and well known example would be the 400m sprint done from time to time as a very efficient way to maintain a decent cardio and low bodyfat or some very low volume deadlift pulling/squating to maintain strength and thus be able to invest lots of energy and time into e.g. learning a handstand.
