This has been my life for the last 3 months. Gonna hit the 200 application mark soon; surely it’ll change then!

I feel that. I was also diagnosed as lazy and unable to live up to potential. Then in my 20s i was diagnosed with narcolepsy…

I just wanted to break this down for people who’ve never been in a fight before (knowledge is power!) It’s hard to tell with such low resolution but the reason hes KOed is because he was punched in the jaw at an angle (cuz the guy’s taller, it makes it much easier). The brain kind of blue screens when that happens with the correct force.

Remember kids: guard the jaw. Bonus tip: the forehead is incredibly strong.

P.S. running away should always be priority number one. If thats not possible, then you fight

I just scheduled an appointment with my GP and told him I needed a sleep lab. Insurance covered most of it, I think. I’m a little fuzzy on the details since it was a long time ago. If you’re in the US, you’ll likely want to make sure you get the details from your insurance company (assuming you have insurance; if not they can get pretty pricey). If you’re elsewhere, they’ll likely be free or cheap

I do suffer from cataplexy as well, yes.

I actually found out I had narcolepsy by doing a sleep lab for sleep-apnea as an adult. It kind of came as a shock since everyone else in my life thought I was just lazy as fuck. The ADHD diagnosis came years later.

I’m not an expert, but narcolepsy isn’t the only outcome for what you describe. It could also be hypersomnia, I think

Drinking a litre (~32oz) of espresso every day… ETA: I also have narcolepsy. its rough out here

I have come across a shockingly large amount of people who not only have a hyphenated last name but also have a hypenated first name! Dealing with every new computer system is like a new adventure

WFH energy
