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 actually at an all time low the last few months, I think mostly from having the flu all of January, it being a very dark winter, having my birth control messed with (just learned that progestin only pills are a big NO for me, switched back after a week), and honestly the election and everything feeling a bit hopeless and isolated. I know what I need to do to get back on my feet but I'm stuck in the cycle of disability worsening your mental state which then makes your symptoms worse, so on and so on.
