Narcolepsy

I'm so tired all the time.


I don't know why, I've been napping and sleeping early or at least at an appropiate time for a student. I think I have narcolepsy or at least the syptom catoplexy, it's a sudden loss of muscle tone and power in response to strong emotion - it always and only occurs as part of narcolepsy. I began to theorise that I might have it when I was talking with my family about strange things that happen to everyone before sleeping, I said that just before I fall alseep I always feel like someone tugs hard at my feet and ankles pulling me deeper into the bed. To my surprise my whole family stared at me confused, turns out that's not a thing everyone experiances. I always fall asleep on any form of transport, or any instances where i'm physically idle for long periods of time. I remember though one time I was having a particulary stressful encounter at the bank and it only worsened when my mum went full karen on the poor banker. I could feel myself falling unconcious, it was really embarrasing.


Recently though I was catching a bus home from the mall, I've done this for a while and know the bus's route pretty well. Well a different bus showed up but it was going the same way where my home was so I got on, blinked, and lost about forty-five minutes. I looked out the window and my stomach dropped when I realised the bus had passed my stop long ago and that I was now getting further and futher away. Luckily my friend happened to be around the area and they could drive so they kindly picked me up and dropped me home. The situation turned out okay but it was still a pretty scary experiance.


Anyway I think I should go to the doctor about it. My english teacher spots me nodding off all the time in class, I geniuenly love english class though and I don't want her to think she's boring me. I really do try and stay awake and I'm not bored at all. I haven't booked an appointment with a doctor since my family moved so I'm a little nervous but I think I'd be a little more content knowing if this is an actual problem or not.


Sorry for the vent(?) I did make a spacehey acc to post my inner thoughts, I've been on and off on this site but I think I might post more bulletins like this as highschool comes to an end. 


see ya
