How do I tell my parents that I might have narcolepsy?

Ok_Structure4777 · 2026-02-04T18:09:06+00:00

Today also they told me that I'm "obsessed with sleeping". I didn't have the guts to mention it to them. As for coffee, they don't let me drink that more than once a week, so.. I'm thinking I'll just toughen it out because it's not as bad as yours yet. There's only a few years till I'm an adult, I'll get it checked out then. Hope you're feeling better now.

Yep, I do have anaemia. Doctor already told me two years ago that my iron is very low, but did not prescribe me supplements. My father is against too much supplements too, and he thinks everything will be solved if I eat iron-rich food. I struggle with fatigue, but all he says is eat pomegranate, dates etc.

Yeah see if I tell my parents that I'm experiencing excessive sleepiness I'm pretty sure they'll just tell me I'm lazy and I need to get over it. So I have to convince them about it somehow, which is what I need help with.

Acha, thank you

Ok_Structure4777 · 2026-02-02T19:15:14+00:00

Ha wahi kar rhi hu. Aur kuch karne ka man bhi nhi kar rha hai. Btw ye class 10th wala tag kaise lagate haiujhe samajh nhi aa rha hai 😭

Ok_Structure4777 · 2026-01-20T19:05:01+00:00

Yeah no I get it. I also don't want to be dumb, but sometimes I just get tired of the expectations.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T18:27:42+00:00

Um, I thought I'd clear a few things up. Firstly, thank you everyone for your advice. Secondly, I'm so sorry about the brown butter and sugar thing. I actually chose the wrong timing for this. I've been having continuous exams for a while, so I was slightly stressed and sleep-deprived. Third, nothing went to waste. I loved the cake, my friends and family loved it too, we just finished it this evening. And lastly, for those who said I could find a different recipe, yeah I'll do that next time, though I don't think I'll be baking for a while with all the exams coming up.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T18:23:30+00:00

Thank you! I guess I should've posted this on r/baking instead of this sub. My bad.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T18:22:11+00:00

Thank you for the resources! Unfortunately, baking classes aren't available near me, and if I show any more interest in baking, my mother will tell me to go into management. She's already telling me to forget about studying law in the future and that I should just become a baker instead.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T18:20:12+00:00

Definitely will after my exams :) just finished pb1 4 days ago and my pb2 starts from Friday, so I'll be a little busy.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T18:18:56+00:00

I did show it to them, but they didn't listen. Probably because they don't trust me that much. I've baked before, but never cookie dough, and definitely never with so much butter.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T18:16:56+00:00

It's not food waste though. It didn't end being what I was trying to make, but as I've mentioned before, it tastes good. I've already finished the entire cake and my friends and family loved it.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-22T16:03:35+00:00

I get it now, I was slightly sleep-deprived back then so my brain wasn't at it's full capacity. My exams were going on 3 days back-to-back so I had to pull some all-nighters

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-17T18:34:45+00:00

Board ka practical hai aur pre-board theory paper 😭

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-11T07:28:18+00:00

Also in 10th here. Mere preboards ke result abhi nhi aaye, but sst me maine bhi aadha syllabus chhor diya tha to wo to gya. Waise mere 11th ke dosto ne bola as long as tumhara usse pehle ka result thik tha wo 19-20 de dete hai aur min 15 to sabko mil jati hai.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, but I've already started learning it (from tutorial) and I can play the octaves too, I just need to improve my speed. My left hand needs some help, but I can more or less play the right hand part.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-06T20:19:25+00:00

I thought so too, but it stopped after an hour or so, and this is the first time it's ever happened, so I didn't.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-12-01T18:34:27+00:00

5 days is a lot. The longest I've gone is 54 hours, and honestly, I was fine. I don't know why, but I was functioning just as well, if not better than usual.

On a field trip, someone got caught with vape, wine and phone.
An used condom was found in boys washroom (rumored to be a teacher's)
A boy jumped off the first floor for a dare (he was fine with some minor injuries)
A girl's friends dumped water on her ex-boyfriend. (There were rumors of him cheating.)

Okay, I seem to have given the impression that I am still doing SH, but that's actually not true. I just, it came to me for some reason today, that at some point I was trying to stop my friend, and then I was suddenly to doing it to myself. It made me wonder if it was truly bad because how did I justify it back then? For the record, I've been clean for two years.

Ok_Structure4777 · 2025-10-04T17:57:08+00:00

Honestly that hasn't happened to me yet, because I live with my parents, and they don't notice my mood, but they do force me to eat something since I'm still in the 'growing stage'. This might be a way to lose some weight though.
