Yeah, having narcolepsy means increased risk for obesity, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Not getting enough sleep or "good" sleep aka sleep deprivation is incredibly serious and dangerous for anyone. Imagine never getting restful sleep no matter how much you're not awake.
having a grand ol time reading about narcolepsy for sources (i have type 2)
Narcolepsy does not cause serious or long-term physical health problems, but it聽can have a significant impact on daily life and be difficult to cope with emotionally- via https://www.nhs.uk
i think every health source that peddles this should be shut down and the doctors should kill themselves and i'm NOT being hyperbolic, this horseshit is fucking deadly
inability to regulate sleep cycles means ALL sleep cycles. it means many of us can't sleep properly at NIGHT. sleep is one of THE main needs all humans need for our health
due to the abnormal and increased REM duration, narcoleptics are often unable to get the kind of restorative deep sleep that people need to be healthy and live long lives
so what the FUCK do you mean that doesn't have long-term and serious physical health problems. what the FUCK Do you mean, "not being able to properly get restorative sleep doesn't have long term physical health problems" i hope everyone saying that fucking dies i'm so serious they're all so fucking evil
this is why public perception of narcolepsy is so FUCKED UP because nobody outside of narcoleptic want to talk about how it can destroy your health and life because you can't EVER sleep properly!! it's not just "falling asleep during the day" it's ALL YOUR SLEEP IS FUCKED!!!
this makes me so FUCKING ANGRY. i wish people gave a shit about the symptoms of narcolepsy that aren't so outwardly "unproductive" because they don't fucking care that we're living hellish lives of no rest!! the first line treatments is JUST STIMULANTS to keep you awake, no treatment for the sleep issues at night!!! the treatments to help you sleep at night are hyper-regulated and crazy expensive bc the company gets its money off of thousand dollar insurance payouts!! and they can have severe mental health side effects for a lot of people, like uhhh ME, and there's no other option!!!
i'm going to fucking SCREAM!!! why do people only care about the current visible symptoms that make people unproductive members of society and not the long term health impacts!!!

So end of year reviews are coming up at work and I have to write about what I did/brag about my accomplishments. I'm a mediocre employee and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm doing my best but I have a lot of life stuff going on (mostly disability) so I'm just not above and beyond like some people. I'm thinking for my review I'll just write that I worked on myself this year, like learning to set boundaries and learning to ask for help, because those are my actual accomplishments that I care about and am proud of... but is it a bad idea to be so honest at a company that doesn't care about me?

It鈥檚 extremely hard in a capitalist production focused world to have an energy limiting illness that means you can鈥檛 work or produce. Learning to have value outside of production is important for every single person - but especially for those of us who simply cannot

I feel like this is delayed for aces. I didn't realize sex was a thing anyone cared about until I was like 17. Thought it was some big joke that everyone was obsessed with it in movies and tv shows. Actually, I didn't know what sex was until it happened to me. Even then, I didn't figure out I was ace till I was like 21.

Oh so when a priest takes an oath of celibacy he's "a man of faith", but when I say I'm Ace and sex-repulsed I'll "change my mind" and "haven't found the right person yet" 馃檮
