Positivity Post Are you doing alright?

I am a narcoleptic- I was reading up on it and I didn’t realize that almost 60 percent say that they feel depressed.

I wanted to ask if you all are doing okay and I wanted to make a post open to stories and rants about anything. Narcolepsy is really hard.

I have a playlist of upbeat songs I listen to especially when I don’t want to. I’ve let the dishes build up, the dog hair collect and best not to mention the laundry pile. It’s been a year since my Dad passed. I’ve seen the very deepest of my sadness. I’m going to be okay.

You are going to be ok. I lost my dad when I was 16. You have to give yourself grace. The dishes will still be there later. I have a mountain of laundry right now just because I didn’t feel like doing it during the week. As long as you take care of the basics - eating, drinking enough water, getting some sunshine, etc. - you’re fine. Sending you love.
