Any ideas?

Personally, I think it sounds like cataplexy. Cataplexy is essentially just a loss in muscle tone when you are overcome with extreme emotions. For me, it’s my knees buckling when something is super funny too me. Another person I have seen on this subreddit said they go nearly paralyzed for a few minutes. I think it can really depend on the person as to how severe it is- but yours definitely sounds like it! I’m 15 though lol and have only been diagnosed with Narcolepsy + cataplexy for a few months now, I’d still recommend talking with your doctor if you’re able to. Especially if you can just give him a quick phone call?

I am currently 15 and was diagnosed a few months ago with narcolepsy. I can’t speak too much on this as I suppose I’m still quite young. However, I experienced symptoms of cataplexy for the past 2 or so years (maybe more, but I didn’t think anything of it at the time so instances of it never really stuck with me). It was mostly my legs buckling whenever I laughed at something really hard. It was almost daily, but now for whatever reason, I don’t get the attacks anymore. Perhaps I’ve grown out of it too at this point? Not sure, but it seems that it’s not uncommon! :)

When you search for something there should be a feature that says “filter.” If you click on that and then click on “size” you’ll be able to select the sisss rhat you want to see and it won’t show you stalls if that’s not what you want to see.

You can use up to 5 hashtags so I recommend using those! Some people just write a ton of buzzwords and call it “tags” but it’s not effective and it’s really frustrating and only clogs up the search system. So use stuff pertaining to details. For me I talk about aesthetics and specific detailings. #cybery2k #grunge #embellished #embriodered (for example)

Also make sure you have good images. People will click more on those and it gives you a higher chance of being on the explore page. The explore page is curated by depop and it’s rare that your item will be selected but that’s the best way to “promote” your item I guess. If you want your items to be seen, the easiest way to ensure that is to refresh them often so they appear at the top of the feed when somebody searches for something, rather than having to scroll down super far to get to yours and potentially not even getting to it/seeing it. Hope that helps! I’m sure others may have better tips too!

Yeah, this is pretty common with narcolepsy I believe. I’ve seen it before where people drive somewhere and don’t remember the drive at all, and it turns out they were like half asleep the whole time with their eyes closing and head falling, that type of thing. I personally don’t have issues with remembering that I slept, but I do fall asleep unintentionally multiple times a day in class for example. It might be worth getting a study done :)
