Can you understand people are stupid? I have narcolepsy and feel exactly like you do. My parents still think I’m just depressed and will eventually get over it. I’ve had multiple neurologists see my symptoms and think the best thing to do is nothing. My current neurologist (I’m on my 3rd) finally gave me an EEG and MRI for possible stroke and seizures. Doctors will look at you and just see a young woman and think it is impossible for you to have any health issues. You have to fight to get care. You can’t resign yourself to this life.

Reading this with chronic illness rn. Can we trade😭 I wish I had this much energy ever.

Girl…I don’t know what to tell you other than I have bad news for you. I have narcolepsy and this is my every day. This is definitely an undiagnosed medical condition for you.

I really miss the old wild west of reddit, but you’re totally right it was a much more insane and hostile place for anyone not conforming to the circlejerk. These kinds of smaller communities starting out are also not made for the kinda late adopters that may be wanting to come over and not even just lurk but doomscroll for hours. People will have the best experience if they find a dopamine hit in creating and sharing original content or they can handle lurking for a few minutes at a time and then going out and touching grass the rest of the day.
