So I have hypothyroidism and a symptom of that is fatigue. Well I have had to deal with that symptom for all my life now since I can remember. I honestly thought it was normal when i was in school to sleep 8 hours and wake up and still be tired all day. I thought it was the depression that was causing this down and tired feeling I felt all the time which would lead to little to no motivation. I ended getting on antidepressants that didn't work and I lost my health insurance right before I was going to be put on a mood stabilizer that would help more for the down feelings I have. Around the same time I found out I had hypothyroidism. I thought that that was the answer to all of my prayers because of how hypothyroidism can worsen depression. I started on the medicine for it and I felt like I was normal and awake for the first time in my life it was great. Gradually though my body got used to the dosage and the symptoms of fatigue started to creep back in so I had to go see the doctor and payout of pocket to get my dosage upped. Things were okay for a little while then I had to go to a free clinic to be seen because I was becoming severely fatigued where my brain is in a fog 24/7. I am always tired no matter how much sleep I get and I sleep at least 7 hours normally 8-10 a day as well as I am a deep sleeper. The fog is affecting my memory as well as my concentration and reaction timing. I thought I wasn't on the right dosage for my hypothyroidism turns out I was so the doctor at the free clinic suggested a sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea because I snore and I have a thicker neck than usual. I did the sleep study and I don't have sleep apnea which I figured I didn't but I am still severely fatigued so the sleep study doctor wants me to come back in for another sleep study where I stay the day and night. He thinks there is a possibility that I could have narcolepsy and that I could just be keeping myself awake. I just want to not be so tired all the time. It is a never ending cycle that won't end and it is affecting my life so much. I have no motivation because of the fatigue which in turns makes the depression worse and worse. I feel like I am drowning in this never ending fog.
