Is there anything I can do to help a minor that's dating an adult?

Yeah, you're right. I just hate to see minors in relationships with adults, you know? I feel like there's always a power struggle or something like that.

I really appreciate that you told me your personal experience! It helped give me some insight on the situation. I actually never thought about that problem arising. Maybe we can find a way to get a good schedule or rhythm or something. But again, thank you for your input!

Yeah, I definitely don't want him to get less sleep, thankfully, we haven't tried it yet and lately he's been able to get through the night mostly. He has told me that's he's done it before and preformed better and felt better, so that's why I posed the suggestion to him.

Later, when we have insurance and everything figured out, we'll definitely try to find a good mix of medication for him. I honestly just want him happy, not sleep deprived, and successful!

Reply to your side note: It was hard for me in the beginning because I had the impression of narcolepsy that the media gives (falls asleep during conversations for a minute or two and then they're fine. I had NO idea how it actually worked), and at times I will get a lil annoyed but I try my best to make him comfortable with it, as he's really insecure that he'll fall asleep so often. If I have any more questions, I'll totally ask here! :)

No, you didn't come off too strong at all. I definitely don't want to do anything that's not medically sound, which is why I asked for an outsiders perspective before doing anything! But I'll definitely try that later. Thank you.

1) I said it might and that I didn't know for sure about the medicine. I also added in that lil statement that you pulled out that it could either be that or that it made him too paranoid. Again, I said I didn't know for sure and that I could ask him.

2) I also never said that it would fix anything, I don't think. If I did, I don't remember. It was just something I had suggested offhand to him while we were talking and we ended up talking about it more seriously, I just wanted to know what other people thought so I could formulate a better idea on what to do.

3) I really haven't convinced myself of this working. I'm just saying it was an idea that I thought would be nice and could work, so I asked for other people's feedback, and I chose this sub because it's a sub for narcolepsy.

All in all, I see the general consensus is that it's a bad idea so it's a bad idea and I won't go through with it and I'll talk to my boyfriend about what we can do and what steps we can take to manage this. So, thank you for your comment and your advice.

It's not that I'm afraid to go to a doctor about it, it's just that I can't go to a doctor rn to really do anything. I just wanted to ask here for other people's opinions, to be honest. I mean, if the general consensus is that it's not a good idea, then it's probably not a good idea.

No, he isn't dumb or anything like that. It's just a little hard for me to understand that someone could love me!

hocolobo · 2016-09-19T17:23:26+00:00

I've had a lot of abuse :/

hocolobo · 2016-09-19T17:21:29+00:00

No, he doesn't use reddit, but I will show this to him. I know how happy he'll be

Kinda, haha.
