Hi! I'm feeling alone, so I'm here.

Hi! I'm a college student who has been dealing with ADHD, anxiety, and depression for many years. In the last couple years, I began to exhibit symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness, in a way that is very characteristic of narcolepsy without cataplexy. However, getting any answers in finding a diagnosis of what is causing my sleep issues has been difficult, and it may be a year or more before I am able to even try again to get answers. I'm currently feeling quite a bit alone in my struggles with sleep issues, and this is exacerbated by my anxiety. Hoping to find some common ground among others here!

Hi Atalina /hugs Welcome to anxiety-central; like you, I'm new here. I've lived with anxiety, depression, and PTSD for as long as I can remember and I'm also hoping to find others who understand.
How are you coping with the excessive daytime sleepiness while you wait for your diagnosis? I hope you're able to remain safe and sound! What are you going to school for? (Feel free to PM if you want to chat and not openly share that info.) I'm going to school to become a veterinarian but I think I may have to take off this next term because of my anxiety and depression.  How are you doing in school?

I hope to hear from you and that your diagnosis comes soon and with good news! Take care of yourself /hugs
