Just asking because I’ve only really seen 30+ in here (and according to google this condition is most common aged 50+)
How do you guys deal or explain it to your parents? I’m 19M and so my parents naturally think I should be full of energy - which I should of course, but I’m not. They can’t wrap their heads around why i sleep 15 hours and still wake up ready to sleep again. They don’t understand why i don’t go out with friends at all or why my grades are dropping, all they see is sleep sleep sleep. I literally can’t do anything because i’m so fatigued. they’re starting to see me as a failure
I don’t think people without hypo understand just HOW tired it can make you - they just assume it’s like coming home after a long day of work or something. Trying to explain it sounds like i’m exaggerating or sympathy baiting a lot. so I just say I didn’t sleep last night when that’s all i basically did.
has anyone dealt with a similar situation before? how did you get your parents to understand everything properly and not treat you like shit?
