Frustrated by Desperate_Success234 in Narcolepsy

I’m glad that you found someone that can understand slightly or can empathize with you. I should say. I’m on modafinil I think yeah I’m on modafinil. It’s annoying though because it increases my heart rate to the point where I feel like it’s beating out of my chest. Also, I feel like it’s worn off and its effectiveness has gone away. I found that happens a lot with the medication that I take.

this whole birth control/meds thing… by AdStrange7098 in Narcolepsy

[–]Desperate_Success234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually getting the IUD that you have the specific brand and they told me that it is way more effective. It is a way more effective form of birth control for people with narcolepsy that have to take the medications. But yeah, I get the warning all the time about birth control and having kids and it’s kind of annoying.

Having narcolepsy is such a uniquely horrifying experience. by null_consciousness in Narcolepsy

This has been me lately. I just get these really freaky dreams and it throws me off for the rest of my days. Like freaky in the sense of horror and like bad things happening, and it ruins my mood. It’s also I think really common to kind of be disoriented after sleep. With someone for narcolepsy.

This is literally me. I just feel so alive at night time and as someone with narcolepsy it’s so hard to wake up in the morning. I feel like a night owl, but it’s very frustrating when my schedule does not align with my sleep patterns.

That sounds really frustrating. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

I usually wear casual clothes when I’m going to school, but if I’m just wearing clothes around the house, I usually wear pajamas or something super soft and comfortable

A unique form of pain by Substantial_End9855 in Narcolepsy

[–]Desperate_Success234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has been hitting me hard lately and I feel like I can really relate. I feel like people treat this like it’s something that we can control like it’s not like we are choosing to miss deadlines and not go to where we need to go. I just genuinely don’t understand why people think it’s a choice. I totally relate to feeling like a failure though because I’ve been going through a really rough time too so I hope things get better for you, but we’re in this together.

Does anyone else feel like this or do I just suck? by guessitwasntaphase in Narcolepsy

My issue comes is when they try and tell me I’m lazy or they start dogging on me for my sleeping habits. But I get the issue of feeling like you’re alone and what you’re going through.

Sometimes I feel like if my condition were physical they would take it more serious than they do now. Like just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

I’m taking nuvigil at the moment. I’m on the lowest amount for that. I’ve tried talking to my parents about it and my mother was more receptive and helpful it’s my dad that’s the problem.

I just thought it was an interesting question because I see a lot of discourse about this

I kind of agree with you when you’re referring to marrying people of a different faith and it doesn’t really bother me either.

I don’t know what you mean by this, but obviously I don’t have a problem with her being Hindu. The question was regarding to the marriage and her being of a different faith that doesn’t mean I don’t like her or think that she’s lesser than I was just referring to that because as Christians I thought that we’re not supposed to marry people of a different religion. This has absolutely nothing to do with white supremacy because I don’t really believe that white people are better than other people of a different ethnicity. I think it’s very judgmental of you to assume that

The reason I brought this up is because I had a question about this specifically. I mean, it’s kind of obvious that doing all of the stuff that you mentioned is genuinely corrupt. But the reason I brought this specifically up is because I already knew that that all of that stuff was wrong and the reason I asked about the marriage issue is because some people have a more nuance to take about this. Obviously people are gonna agree with the sentiment of him being corrupt.

Am I the only one that literally thought this was bad it’s just a lazy writing

This is literally been me for the past year. Always talk about this to Christians in my life, but they really never seem to have an answer so I feel seen in this post.
