I'm sleepy all time

Post Reply New Topic

Doesn't matter how much sleep I have, I'm always sleepy, most of days I'm getting more than 10 hours of sleep, and I still spend all day tired. I'm only going to classes twice a week and going to swim twice a week too, the rest of the days I spend mostly on bed, somedays I don't even cook or take a shower. I can't clean my house, even the time I spent on computer had lowered.

Is this depression?? I really think I should see a psychiatrist but I can't find strength to get a health care plan.

I don't feel exactly sad or anything as I often do, just too tired to even this.

I can get sleepy during the day, coffee doesn't help alot of the time. I have sooooo much trouble cleaning. It can be very hard to wake up in the mornings.



Can you get Medical & get on Care1st health plan? Then see a doctor.

your profile does not say what country you live in. however, where i live, they offer volunteers that help you apply for health care plans. those volunteers are in clinics and libraries. otherwise, get someone to do it for you.

yes, for a long time, i have felt a bit tired. even if i do next to nothing all day long. for a long time, i have not gone to school or work. and i am extremely ashamed of myself. all the jobs i had were minimum wage. on FaceBook and LinkedIn, former precious lil "friends", acquaintances, enemies, classmates, and other precious lil "people". wow. even the ones that were not academically smart got advanced degrees. plenty in STEM subjects. this boy from the same ghetto lil high school. some of the same classes. he did not seem to scholastically inclined. but he got a phd in Physics. at that same school, i started majoring in Physics. and then after the first quarter, totally scared away, hated it. sick and tired of it. could not fathom. imagine. getting a BS in physics. much less an MS or phd. so i feel ashamed, jealous, angry, annoyed, and hateful. seven years ago, took judo at the local university. one semester. the third highest ranking instructor was an undergrad junior. in Bioengineering. checked his profile a couple days ago. that annoying arrogant knucklehead got a MBA and a phd and he is only 27.

and yes i feel sad, tired. oftentimes i feel too tired to talk.

quite frankly, not many things i do were successful. and even the few things that i did, that were successful, were not worth the amount of energy they required.

cost benefit analysis.

usually i sleep fine 8 hours a week. now that i am 34, i feel like i need less sleep than i did when i was younger. however, my overall energy levels are still much lower than they were before. when i was around 18. in the beginning of undergraduate college.

when i was 21 and 31, briefly went on Prozac. prescribed for clinical depression. it made me feel less extreme emotion, but it made me exhausted. fatigued.

there's something wrong with everything.

and many other prescription meds have much worse and stronger side effects.

and all of them cost $$.

usually i just cook potstickers. boil water and put them in. and yams. put in microwave.

when i was 18, made pancakes, bread, scones, and other merchandise.

but do not like to cook. would rather just eat potstickers. dumplings. every day. what is the big deal?

have not showered since March.

when i was 24, went 216 days w/out shower.

If I can't sleep I just eat some date rape drugs.

Consider sleep apnea. I have ameliorated mine by changing my sleeping position and wearing nasal strips at night.

^ Thyroid is a common one, as is iron (anemia will completely floor you) and B group vitamins. There can also be fatigue associated with a hormone imbalance.
I have daytime sleepiness a lot at the moment because I have a sleep disorder, and am in the process of trying to change my sleep schedule. A lot of autistics having sleep disorders, you may want to check out if you're one of them and have some management put into your sleeping. You're doing exercise which they recommend for low energy levels (weirdly) but just make sure you're not overdoing yourself!
I also read once that autistics can need more sleep than normal, due to how overloading our senses are, and how much extra work goes into just being alive.
