Struggling with Narcolepsy and Depression on My Birthday

Happy Belated Birthday! And yeah I feel the same. I don't just feel like I have no life anymore I really don't have a life! I have severe sleep Apnea with Narcolepsy on top of chronic pain and osteoarthritis and COPD so I haven't been able to work for a long time now and spend most of my time in bed. I don't recommend that. It's true that if u don't use it u lose it so my muscles are weak and I feel as old as my mother (I'm 56 and she is 76) if not older. So if u can find a way of taking back your life I highly recommend it. U don't want to turn out like this. And I'm on 3 different antidepressants btw! Could u imagine how depressed I'd b without them? Geez!

Happy birthday belated birthday not trying to be a down or anything but I am 51 trapped in a 27 28 year old mind because I've never been able to experience life from that age on because of narcolepsy with cataplexy and relying on the doctors to help me out with the debilitating sleepiness and no focus I have yet to find one that'll give you what you need to have a normal life I had a doctor tell me that I'm going to end up going my whole life and no one's going to ever prescribe me medicine that I need because it's too controversial amphetamines methamphetamines whatever it is whatever the case I'm 51 and I feel like I've lost my whole life to it

Happy birthday! I kinda feel like that sometimes.. I think something that helped me was getting a pet or something that depends on me. On days when I feel like that I know that my pet has to come before anything else and I force myself to get up and give him food and water
