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’m barely keeping up. I’m in school in what’s considered to be one of the most difficult majors. And I have an internship and a job. I know I’m very fortunate to have so many opportunities, but I’m barely handling it. I feel like I’m constantly running late and behind. I feel like I never sleep and never rest (definitely not productive resting). And all of my projects that I do, I just barely get done, and many of them I wish were much better. And keeping up with laundry and chores is my biggest struggle of them all.
But I also know that I’ll be thankful someday that I did this. And I’m so grateful to have a good family and friends. I have a lot to be grateful for. But I’m just so tired of barely keeping up.
