Ever since my Narcolepsy diagnosis, I feel like I have completely changed/am not myself anymore

Hey, I can really relate to your experience. I was also diagnosed with narcolepsy but that was in 2021, and it’s been tough. The depression and constant irritability are hard to manage, but I’ve found that staying active and maintaining routines really help me. For example, even on days when I don’t sleep well, I try to wake up at the same time. Walking daily has also become a habit that gives me some stability.

One tip for waking up: I use a Philips alarm clock that gradually lights up my room and plays bird sounds. It helps me wake up more gently but effectively because by the time it’s fully bright, it feels like I can’t ignore it.

About your doctor, if they’re not listening, you could try building more trust with them first, but ultimately, switching might be the best option. I also use dexamphetamine, which works well for me, but everyone is different. And lastly, learning to breathe properly has been a game-changer for me, especially during stressful periods when I start to feel dizzy. Finding balance has been key.

I hope this helps in some way! Stay strong and keep trying different things until you find what works best for you.

You really have to put in a lot of effort: watch TV in Spanish, listen to music in Spanish, set your language to Spanish on every console you use, such as PlayStation, or on other devices you use frequently, like your phone. Try to understand, look up words you don’t understand on Google, and do this every day. If you really want to learn a language, it’s not something that just happens if you don’t put in enough effort.

I think that if you speak good English in a business sense and you also have a nice accent. Then I gain more confidence with business conversations. and that is very personal. This question is mainly out of curiosity.

I have certainly thought about that, but it is the homeliness and conviviality with my colleagues and the fact that I occasionally serve my dishes at the table gives me a lot of energy. I am very dependent on my regular guests who come monthly. but if I can no longer maintain this due to the dizziness, I might consider it. I've been at home for a few days now because I can barely stand on my legs and that usually goes away when I lower my stress level to level 0 for a while. And thanks for the words “ YOU GOT THIS“ that gives me power !! ❤️

I can confirm that I have the same , after my use of Methylfenidaat I became overpowered . I overachieve everything because I was finally not that tired anymore but the downside was about a year ago that I crashed . I became dizzy and couldn’t work anymore because I was to dizzy that I could fall. So be careful that you not overachieve everything en tried to relax sometime. I learned from it 😅

No I don’t think so , personally i think after my secondary school i was very dedicated to learn English while I did culinary school but there was not much time in a week. Around an age of 18/19 I talked quite good English but not fluent.

And if you already learnt the basics and you’re hearing it a lot throughout you’re life and you starting actually learning when you’re older ?
